Redux is a radio signal humming throughout the tangled Midwestern grid. We choose radio after searching for more meaningful ways to connect through music and contribute to our local music culture.  Above all, we value a radio host's ability to tell a story: injecting personality and providing context to the listening experience. 

A river is the dynamic form realized as all the watershed's disparate drops come together. By providing a gathering space for the Midwestern music scene, Redux channels the spirit of our community: flowing with and directing the local sound.

Nervous Records has been a mainstay in the music scene since 91' releasing hundreds of hit records for crate diggers around the globe.

House, Funk, Disco, Rare Groove, and Legendary Sound!

As one of the longest standing independent record labels in the US, Nervous Records has built its reputation through a willingness to take chances on new sounds and new producers. The label was famous almost immediately when it started back in 1991 because of its eye-catching, very distinctive cartoon character logo. Nervous’ first major dance release came in 1992, with “Feel Like Singing” by Sandy B. Nervous decided at that point to focus its energy on expanding the label’s musical field. The label’s first step outside the house music arena was with the Brooklyn, NY-based rap group, Black Moon, whose single “Who Got Da Props?” virtually put Brooklyn back on the map as a center of hip hop.

JOEY J. SAYE 

Joey grew up in Chicagoland and music has been a part of his DNA since he was child; living in a household that provided him with a multitude of music genres and styles. Hearing his grandmother break out in song at any given moment helped him to appreciate music and its art of bringing people together, soothing the soul.​ Even though he was introduced to the blues community at 16, he first heard the haunting melodies and guitar licks at 13 years of age when he was already dabbling in music and creating songs with his friends. But hearing Muddy Waters and Memphis Minnie’s music ignited his passion for the blues and he traded in his athletic gear for his guitar. And we are so glad he did. Joey J Saye Music.com
