Fresh Vibe
Fresh Vibe (8AM – 6PM)
FRESH VIBE was developed as an escape from talk radio and harsh sounds. It is an oasis offering lush, wholesome sounds from emerging and independent artists who do not fit, or subscribe to, traditionally defined genres. These musicians embrace cross-pollination of sounds and their music is an amalgamation of different styles and influences. These artists are frequently overlooked by commercial radio, so Fresh Vibe is a platform where their voices are not only heard, but they are amplified! We pay extra attention to underrepresented musicians from BIPOC communities and/or identify as LGBTQ+. There is also a strong need to feature and support our local artist community, so we continue to play a local artist at least every 15 minutes.
Fresh Vibe embraces the discovery of new and emerging musicians from all over the globe and right here at home. The wealth of talent in our community, and the world, is overwhelming, but be assured that we are bringing the coolest selections to PRP! With new music added every week, we are committed to keeping our programming fresh.
Some musical styles that can be heard during fresh vibe hours, include: electro pop, indie pop, indie hip hop, indie alternative, neo soul, nu jazz, electro jazz, electronica, and more.
Fresh Vibe is led by Fresh Vibe Music Director Asia Wagner and airs M-F from 8 am – 6 pm.
Night Hive
Night Hive (6PM – 8AM)
NIGHT HIVE is a mix of music as varied as the communities of Portland. It emphasizes local artists and captures the feeling of getting off work, being on your way to a local brewery to meet friends and the excitement of the weekend. Following Fresh Vibe, the reins are loosened a bit with our mix of new and alt-rock, indie, pop, R&B, Soul, Hip Hop – and curated shows by our incredible DJs, highlighting genres in world music, from reggae & hip hop, to retro-alt and country. For full schedule go here. As the city heads into the evening and night, we let the reins out some more, mixing in tunes with a bit more edge or a bit more passion, and as always, heavy on the local content. By early morning it is back to music that is set up for another great day in the PNW.
Night Hive is curated by our NH Music Team and airs M-F 6 pm – 8 am and all hours on the weekend.
