The Show: “The Samoflange Show,” Tuesdays from 9 p.m to midnight. The name comes from an outtake of the ’80s cartoon show “The Thundercats.”

The DJ: “Space Cheez,” a.k.a. Gordon Ferguson, general manager at KURE and a senior in English.

The Menu: “A lot of IDM [Intelligent Dance music] and lots of Japanese and Pseudo-Japanese music,” Ferguson says. “People request a lot more of the popular stuff like Chemical Brothers and Orbital. It’s all electronic music.”

The Artists: Aphex Twin, Mu-ziq, Cibo Matto and Fantastic Plastic Machine. “Anything from the Astralwerks label,” he says.

Popularity: “I get usually between 10 to 12 requests per night. It’s a small, niche audience,” Ferguson says. “I think it’s mostly people studying. The songs are pretty long. A lot of them have trance elements. It’s pretty easy to listen to and kind of going on in the background.”

Uh-oh: Ferguson recalled a time when members of a certain local band played a trick on him. “The first dry Veishea, two years ago,” Ferguson remembered. “We were doing our show and we got hungry, so we decided to order some pokey sticks from Gumby’s. But we didn’t have the phone number, so we asked on air for the phone number and someone called and gave it to us.

“So we ordered it and asked [Gumby’s] to meet us in Friley. We went up and waited for a really long time. We had to call them and they were at the other Friley entrance and they weren’t. So finally we called the number back and they said the delivery guy had been arrested for trying to get onto a girl’s floor. They didn’t offer us another pizza or anything and we thought that was kind of strange.

“We saw a story in the Daily, where guys from Grubby Ernie said they had called KURE and told us their own number was the number for Gumby’s. It was a long time before I ordered from Gumby’s again.”

The Beginning: “I filled out an application a couple of years ago and started doing a show with a couple of other people and eventually they moved on,” Ferguson says. “I joined the board of directors as the operations director last year, and this September, I became the general manager.”

Playlists: Ferguson’s show is preceded by a ska show. “That’s always an interesting transition to make,” he laughs. “I try to pick music that flows well together so that there’s not a noticeable transition between the songs.”

Feedback: “Sometimes people aren’t too thrilled with what you play and tell you that you suck,” Ferguson says.

The Future: “I doubt I’ll ever work for a commercial radio station because I’ve gotten so used to the freedom we have as a non-commercial radio station,” Ferguson says. “I’ll probably go to graduate school in English.”
