Dear KUCI staffers, lovers, fans, and supporters,

Tonight will mark the final broadcast of the show on KUCI 88.9FM.

After six-and-a-half years of running the show, the time has come for me to move on from my beloved Thursday night spot. When I jumped on board as a DJ at KUCI back in 2003, I was a starry-eyed fanatic of music who wanted to share his innermost passions with others who shared the same love for electronic dance music as I did.

Over the years, the show grew immensely. I can still listen to some of my old mixtapes from way back when and have a big “wow” moment at how far things have come. Fast forward to 2010, and “Division of Hardcore Samples” has become one of the most well-known radio shows in club land with some of the world’s best DJs and producers having been guests on the show. Famed trance vocalist Jes (“As The Rush Comes” with Motorcycle), British super-producers Above & Beyond, UK DJ/Producer Lange, and the legendary Swedish Egil of KROQ and Groove Radio, have all been guests on the show at KUCI — something which I am eternally grateful for. One of the biggest moments for DHS happened back in 2006, when we set up live remotes at Tentation Ultra Lounge to broadcast international Top 100 DJs like Armin van Buuren, Miss Nine, Matthew Dekay, Paolo Mojo, and Marco Bailey.

Today I’m blessed with the opportunity to be working in commercial radio alongside public radio, DJing, producing music, and also teaching it all to those who are eager to learn. I’m realizing my dream of making a living through music — which was my goal for the longest time — and it all began at KUCI.

I’m very thankful for having worked with all of the amazing people at KUCI over the years. Thank you SO much Mike Kaspar for your support when I most needed it while transitioning to commercial radio. Rita, you’ve been the most awesome co-worker, it’s truly been a pleasure having you as my show neighbor all this time — I especially love how you’re able to transition from indie to electronic music with your music selection so listeners don’t drop out! Sara, you’re one of the coolest people I know and I’m really glad we became friends at the station (thanks for covering the nights when I just couldn’t make it down!). Mike Boyle, you are one bad-ass engineer! What would I do without you when things were unexpectedly going wrong with guests at the studio — only you could come to the rescue! Kevin Stockdale, for keeping the backbone of KUCI going strong, and for all of your hard work and faith in the station. Nathan Callahan for being the quickest webmaster I’ve come to know. Dennis Simms for your dedication to your Friday night show and for exposing electronic music to OC for as long as I can remember. And of course, Morena, Genna, Liubys, Ramy, Genie, Jack Bartlett, Shapan, Steve Sherlock, Beth, … – it’s been great working with all of you (Genna & Morena, I’m sure I’ll be seeing you guys in clubland!). I apologize if I’ve left any names out, but know that I’m nothing but grateful for having met you.

Let’s not forget all of the local talents and guest DJs who have appeared and performed on the show — thank you all!

While I won’t be down in OC on Thursday nights anymore, I’ll be with KUCI indefinitely with spirit.

KUCI… thanks again for all of the opportunity you’ve provided for me, for giving me the vision to take the show to all of its heights, and for allowing me to grow with you. I love you!!

Lots of things are in store and there’s plenty more to come. Stay close and become a part of all the good things coming your way soon

All the best,

Arthur Galestian

Carson & Galestian Hit The Studio:
New Track in the Works!

Jim Carson and Arthur Galestian are two-Los Angeles based electronic dance music producers who are internationally known due to their high profiles as both club DJs and radio show hosts. They have traveled the globe bringing their funky beats to cities like Miami, Chicago, Vegas, Amsterdam, Edmonton, Calgary, and San Francisco. In 2008 they joined forces to start producing funky electro house, progressive house, and trance.

In the summer of 2008 they signed their first progressive house & hard trance track “K.P.” to Aurora Music based in Washington D.C. run by Schubert. 2008 also saw the release of the funky electro house rocker “For The Love House” on Carson & Galestian’s own imprint Body Lickin’ Science Recordings. Galestian is a major trance head, while Carson is a major funky, tech house and electro house head. This makes for interesting conversations in both the studio and the outcomes in their productions. It is a perfect balance as they blend and weave and crossover genres from techy, electro house to progressive to trance. Jim is responsible for most of the drums, percussion, FX, white noise, and basslines in the tracks and what key the tracks will be in. Arthur is primarily responsible for the big synths, melodies, and chord progressions you hear. They also trade off on duties from time to time, let each other know what works and what doesn’t, and collaborate on sequencing, EQing, and automation. Working together motivates them to push each other harder than ever before in their commitment to music, art, and production. Galestian likes to joke around in the studio a lot while Carson is strictly business with a straight face and almost spiritual reverence for the production process. This balance makes for a good time in the studio and great productions to be made.

Currently, in October 2009, Carson & Galestian are hard at work (or “play” depending on how you look at it…) on a completely new original production that blends booty shakin’ tribal, tech-house with acid, progressive, and trance elements. This new original production will feature a dub mix and also a vocal mix with a female vocalist that has yet to be chosen. Look for this new track to be a club monster and club hit internationally around the world. Carson & Galestian have incorporated the art of flow into this production and when you hear it you will definitely feel it. Expect top DJs to chart this track around the world and Jim Carson & Arthur Galestian to become household names in the production world after this release after being internationally known and beloved as some of the finest club Djs and EDM radio show hosts in the world for over a decade.
