Pure Imagination
An Audities Mix from Eclectic Wonderland
Original Air Date: 5.24.23 | WDRT 91.9 FM
“Come with me, and you’ll be… in a world of pure imagination.”
When the weight of gravity feels just a bit too heavy, this is the mix that floats you upward and onward. “Pure Imagination” is an audio candyland—a sonic daydream for your inner kid, your outer weirdo, and anyone who’s ever danced with a bubble.
This 2-hour journey features novelty nuggets, electronic oddities, remixed nostalgia, experimental grooves, candy-coated skits, and sprinkles of pure joy. It’s an Audities show at heart—crafted to chillylax your body and delight your brain.
Inspired by: Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory
Dedicated to: The Oompa Loompas
In loving memory of: Gene Wilder & Gilda Radner
About the Art
The show art is a digital collage crafted by DJ Tea using elements from Wonka’s World of Candy—the video game that’s been chewing away at my free time (and pixels). Peppered with swirly trees, fizzy purples, and smiling Oompa Loompas, the artwork is your first step into the sound-fueled sugar dream..
