Some afrobeat and soukous to start the first half hour of the show tonight, before getting into some hip hop and a couple of breaks ahead of the Raekwon show on Sunday the 7th. I’m pretty happy with the way this show turned out, so enjoy.

Treading some familiar territory on this outing with some downtempo and some hip hop.

It was kinda surreal waking up the next day and reading that Apache had died. What a weird fluke that I decided to play him on the show. Had I known, I may have played more of his work.
I don’t remember if as a kid I thought we’d all be riding around in flying cars by 2010, but I’m pretty sure I imagined we would’ve at least had a bit more space exploration under our belt – Maybe a mission to Mars or Jupiter colony…Something… Still, who knows what surprises this new decade may hold.
If I may using this show as a metaphor for the human race however, it should be no surprise that not nearly as much progress has been accomplished as sci-fi movies would have had me believe. Here in today’s show — as in most others — I mostly tread familiar ground with some hip hop beats and funk. Though I did manage to sneak a couple of at least semi-recent tracks…
Another year, here and gone – Yikes! This year, despite the awesomeness of our new CJSW space, I had no intentions of spending Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve in the studios all by myself. I therefore arranged to pre-tape the shows for the Holidays. However, since I’m not super familiar with the new production rooms, I took a couple mixes I already had lying around and overdubbed the track announcements. But seeing as it’s the holidays and I’m feeling generous, I’ll give you the mixes in their original, chat-devoid, 4+hour glory.
These mixes were recorded live at my residency – The Spread (Every Saturday at Broken City). A snippet of the October 17th mix was played on Christmas Eve radio show, and a portion of the November 7th mix was played on the New Year’s Eve show.

Hope you enjoy, and Happy (belated) Holidays!
Well, we finally made it into our new studio space. It’s only two floors up, but it’s a world of difference! Huge thanks to our Station Manager, the inimitable Chad Saunders, without whom I doubt this could have been accomplished. Of course, this is also due in no small part to the generous support of our listeners, so give yourselves a hand as well.
Anyways, I’m definitely taking more than a minute to get used to the new digs. The board is laid out backwards from the old one downstairs, and the DJ tables are a few steps from the mixing console (Not pictured above, but they’re below the window at right), so it’s a bit trickier to segue from the turntables to other media. But other than those minor complaints, this new space kicks serious ass.
This week on the show, we were spotlighting drum’n’bass and dubsteb ahead of the Blu Mar Ten and Rusko shows which happened on the 21st. I didn’t hear about the Blu Mar Ten show, but apparently the Rusko show was bananas. If I could’ve been in 3 places at once, I would definitely have checked out both shows while holding down my regular Saturday residency. Good thing I’m having so much fun at The Spread, or else I might feel like I’m really missing out.
Here’s the show:
