DJ Spotlight: DreamGAZE

February 2nd, 2024 by Liz Kosik

Show name: DreamGAZE

DJs: Terence Hannum, Erica Burgner-Hannum, and Rob Savillo

When: Thursdays @ 6 PM

Q: Name of your show along with a brief description:

A: DreamGAZE is a show I do with my spouse Erica Burgner-Hannum and bandmate Rob Savillo, of The Holy Circle, where we play our favorite shoegaze and dreampop tracks and interview bands and DJs – but we ask them to pick their favorite shoegaze or dreampop and talk about it.

Q: Why did you choose to host a show at WLOY?

A: I also do DEAD AIR the show devoted to horror soundtracks we run in October, and I’ve been doing that for almost a decade with WLOY. So when Erica, Rob, and I started an event night called dreamGAZE at The Crown to kind of focus on the growing scene in the region, the radio show made it easier to loop in the guests we bring in and the shows write themselves.

Q: What is your favorite part of hosting a show at WLOY?

A: It’s very easy as a community member and John champions your ideas and content, offers suggestions. I like finding new bands like The December Sound or hearing great stories from our guests like ON and Pale Saints.

Q: Top played artist/s on your show:

Q: Word of advice for prospective DJs?

A: Curate your sets, and know the info about the releases, think of it like a story you’re trying to tell. Keep it tight and focused. Also bring a friend, or two, who is as passionate as you are and bring on guests.

WLOY thanks Terence, Erica, and Rob for their mutual love of music and dedication to the station! Tune in to DreamGAZE every Tuesday @ 6 PM. 🙂
