WBCQ/The Planet airdate - 11/29/25 Welcome to Fluxedo Junction, I’m Scott Kuchler. Each episode, we bring you the best music of all genres from throughout the world, and this week we’ll be speaking with my old friend, multi-instrumentalist and composer Darren Douglas Danahy. Darren has been on the program several times before, discussing his solo releases and his work with Kendrick Station. Today, he’s on the show to discuss The Hidden Frequency, his new collaboration with Rob G. Nichols. The concept of the band is the idea that there could be a sound that could heal what ails our world, and the thought that maybe this sound has always existed, but is drowned out by the dissonance of what life has become. So why not amplify these vibrations of creation and love, to rise above the now common sounds of destruction and anger. ‘Pulse’ is the first release from The Hidden Frequency, and more information is available at www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61583584139670
