Have an event coming up you’re looking to spread the word about?
Send an email to events@xray.fm to see how we can help!
When emailing please include:
- Any relevant info about the event (dates/times, location, ticket links, info sheets etc.)
- What you're looking for from us, preferably in the subject or early in the email.* This could be things like being a media sponsor, paid underwriting packages, inviting us to attend, PSAs* AV services, getting an on-air interview, booking an XRAY DJ, having us be present there, etc.
- Who this event is for, so that we can place it appropriately on our schedule. If music, let us know the general genre/style. If non-music, what topics will someone that goes to this care about?
Timeline: For those new to working with us, without an established event promotion relationship or agreement, we need to receive your submission at least three weeks prior to your event for inclusion on our events calendar or newsletter, and preferably six weeks if you are interested in a radio spot about your event (i.e. underwriting). We are unlikely to consider last minute requests.
Please Note: We have a very limited capacity and unfortunately cannot accommodate all requests. The clearer your ask and the more obvious of a fit with our programming and/or mission, the more likely we'll prioritize it. We unfortunately cannot respond to every request, but welcome you nudging/following up with us to get it on our radar if it's a good fit and we haven't replied.
*Only nonprofits and/or things benefitting the wider community (such as something like demonstrations, disaster relief, mutual aid campaigns, etc.) are eligible for PSAs typically, with anything else being up to our discretion and typically done on media trade, paid campaigns, or as an act of good will because we feel strongly about something. All scripts need to be approved by us for our FCC compliance standards--even if a recorded file already exists.
April is DJ Klyph’s birthday month, and we’re celebrating in true hip-hop fashion! No Requests returns with DJ Klyph and DJ Ambush on the decks, spinning nothing but golden era hip-hop—classic joints, deep cuts, and anthems that defined the culture. No requests, just pure vibes!
Come through, show love, and celebrate another year of music, community, and hip-hop excellence. Whether you’re a longtime supporter or new to the movement, this is one you don’t want to miss!
No cover!

The beloved St. Johns Bizarre returns Saturday, May 10, 2025, from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. in downtown St. Johns! (Find us at N. Philadelphia and N. Lombard — and all across the surrounding blocks!) We'll be serving up another a dynamite lineup of musicians, artisans, makers, creators, food vendors, community groups, and more, all ready to go — so you can sing, dance, eat, shop, and make merry 'til your heart's delight.
The St. Johns Bizarre street festival is a single-day event in the heart of North Portland’s St. Johns neighborhood, celebrating the unique character of the area. The festival has traditionally coupled itself to the St. Johns Parade, one of Portland’s longest-running parades. Last year, after we expanded our footprint, the Bizarre featured a record 180 vendors, selling an impressive array of handmade art and craft items, including jewelry and clothing, home goods, photography, and paintings. Also featured each year are a number of food vendors, as well as booths featuring local community organizations.
