It was in the
mid-eighties, when new wave music hit in manila. It sounds too old though, but it
was a great experience to me that I was actually such a fanatic to that music
genre. I can still recall a lot of memories tuning-in on DW-XB102.7 fm on my
radio dial—a long gone radio station in the Philippines who started it all and
made new wave music so popular among the youth of that era.
WXB102 was the
biggest influential icon for my musical inclination to new wave music and of
course with a taste of fashion as well, I won’t forget those haircut styles and
mode of dressing down to my bla-bla shoes that I wore in every gig that XB had.
After two decades of hibernation, who would think that same old station would resurrect
again?
Well, it’s
good to be true! Thanks to Michael Sutton of Sutton Records USA, who made all
this possible. WXB102 is live again as it is used to be, broadcasting globally
over the internet.
