The Mx.Tape Sessions, previously named Ineffable, was an eclectic music and spoken word show on KVMR (89.5fm in Nevada City, California), featured every other Saturday Night from 10pm-Midnight, PST, and upgraded to hosting the KVMR Friday Morning Show from 7-10 am on alternate weeks before Del’s final show in Nov 2023. The Mx.Tape Sessions featured conscious, heartwarming, fun, and sometimes crazy music and spoken word from all genres as well as interviews. See below for more info.
Del moved to the North Bay area in Dec 2023, and has moonlighted as a sub for Laura’s Living Room at KOWS-LP since 2016.
If you miss the show, don’t worry… you can listen to it on our archives at KVMR Archive for up to two weeks after each show.

Mixing Indie with Mainstream and Classics with Contemporary music to create a feeling through crossover music instead of a specific genre-based focus, Del brings you The Mixtape Sessions every other Saturday from 10 pm -Midnight. The Mixtape Sessions are an eclectic mix of Roots Rock, Reggae, Rock, Pop, Hip Hop and Folk, with a smattering of other genres thrown in from time to time… most shows feature conscious music with themes of Social Justice, Equality, life as LGBTQ+, and both Personal and Social Revolution.
Del came into broadcasting via the backdoor of volunteering, first joining the program committee as a community member. Since then, they have enjoyed working in outreach, the music library, on and at events, and currently serves on KVMR’s Board of Directors, with their first term on the board from 2016-2019.

They have been host to the regular Redeye Radio shows The Journey and the Blues Cafe (2008-2016), and to the early morning show, Ineffable (2016-2018), host of The Mixtape Sessions every other Saturday from 10pm-Midnight (2018-2022), and the Friday Morning Show from 7-10 am in 2023. Del has an educational background in Sociology with a focus on LGBTQ+ & Gender Studies and holds an MSW with a focus on Adult Mental Health and Wellness and the intersections of Trauma and the LGBTQ+ community. Del has worked in the field of social work and community activism for 15 years.
