We play an easy-going two bonus hours of jazz and fusion for discriminating samplists, crate-diggers, and vinyl treasurers alike; with no song in this set running less than seven minutes each.

April is not over yet. We still have many more deluxe Springtime sounds to go. Tune in two weeks as we air new, current, and favorite sounds and artists from everywhere. See you then.

We've come to the end of Year 11 of Omega Radio. We have a bye-week on what would've been our normal time-slot to make way for WUSB's Caribbean Marathon. What better way to properly close out another year on the airwaves with our abbreviated 5th Annual Second Chance broadcast? Every year, we discover and audition lots of incoming music. Some things we find don't necessarily fit in our regular deluxe programming. So, we give them their own moment to shine. Experimental sounds, unclassifieds, and magical touches help close out what has become a more streamlined year on the air.

We want to thank everyone who followed, liked, supported, and listened to Omega Radio and WUSB. As always, we feel great in showing our listeners and followers of all things Omega a different side of the music world. Our enthusiasm has never wavered, so we plan to continue delivering new, current, and favorite sounds and artists from all genres across the world. See you in December.

We welcome all of our listeners to Omega Radio, WUSB's most diverse show on its grid. Tonight, we start off our Autumn broadcasting season in a major way. It's a double-deluxe program as we take over for Everything Must Go with four hours of marquee artists, tried-and-true synthpop, chillwave, and newer all-around favorites. We also revisit some artists that we haven't played in quite a while and ones who are featured here for the first time.

A huge thank you to @tewz for proving us with lots of ideas for tonight's show. We'll have plenty of Autumn sounds to go around, including ending the year with our annual 'second-chance' broadcast. Thanks for listening.
