OFFICIAL TRAILER | GETTING IT BACK: THE STORY OF CYMANDE from Abramorama on Vimeo.

The extraordinary Cymande story is one of joyous creativity stifled by political and institutional obstruction, it feels urgent and more relevant than ever. Most people will think they don’t know Cymande. But anyone who has listened to the Fugees, De La Soul or the Wu-Tang Clan, or who has simply been on a dance floor, will recognize their irresistible, infectious funk music. Q&A to follow with Founding Cymande Members – Patrick Patterson & Steve Scipio and DJ Mona. Get your tickets here >

We made a Spotify list of all the heavily played lists from the 2010s as a fun way to draw attention to how WFMU sounded like in the 2010s and all the artists we highlighted during that period. This effort was made possible due to the work of Olivia Bradley-Skill, Zoey Beatrice, Ruby, Ben, Edie, Jessica, Eliza, and Myriel. Artwork by Faye. Listen to the 2010s Edition here.

Re:Mixology was a radio show that aired on WFMU from 2002-2003 that featured a great selection of assorted leftfield, beat-oriented sound manipulators. Special-for-WFMU mixes from the likes of the DFA, Christian Marclay, Wayne Butane, and Felix Kubin were aired, along with performances in the WFMU studio from Peaches/Gonzales/Feist, Matmos, Evolution Control Committee and more! Archives are here.
