Donna Juana 11 - On-U fONdUe
For fans of sound effects, daydreaming and things that can be described as “workouts” — the On-U fONdUe: 25 years of music from the inconsistently brilliant psychedelic-dub/dance label, On-U Sound. (MPFree)

NOTES and ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Donna Juana airs every Sunday at 11pm on WHFR. MP3s and Playlists are archived on Balldeep.tv.
Mostly because I don’t get no-wave as well as others (Hot Donna Too, for example), I shied away from On-U’s celebrated no-wave output like Mark Stewart and the Mafia. But why two of my favorites, Bim Sherman and Dub Syndicate, are pretty much missing is a mystery to me. I might have to do another one of these.
Thanks to On-U Sound in The Area’s extensive discographies and to Captnswing’s time but not labor intensive instructions on installing Soulseek in Mac OSX. Without them I couldn’t go from “having” six On-U records to more like twenty-eight in less than a week.
Initially a matter of pain and often a hinderance, it is now a matter of pride that since its origins this project has not received a penny of private, university or government funding.
