All sorts of goodness in the this first 2hrs of a three hour set. Afrobeat and highlife give way to future beats, downtempo, soul, and hip hop. Weather this friday was kind of insane, so there were probably a few more listeners than usual stuck in traffic. It’s nice to know they at least had some good tunes to listen to while stuck in their cars.

Another Friday, another Fat Beat Diet. This time, spiced with a bit of that DJ Shadow and Cut Chemist special sauce ahead of their Calgary appearance.

Extended version of the Fat Beat Diet as I take over Fade to Bass and double my time. It’s a nice wide ranging show moving from funk to hip hop to drum’n’bass and to house, dubstep and stuff.

Some thanks for the amazing funding drive, and then a rare Halloweenish themed show.

Just a bunch of hip hop and shit to start out the show, and then we wind it up at the end. uknowhowwedo*.

Definitely feeling the Led Zeppelin remix track as well, although I have to admit feeling a bit guilty for playing it — Not a lot of big rock groups played on the Fat Beat Diet over the years. If Underworld brings me back to my university years, then Led Zeppelin brings me back to high school because they were pretty huge among the kids there, even if by then their music was already decades old. The Souleance edit adds so much funk to already soulful track.

I’d sort of forgotten that Biz Markie gets all Meow Mix in the middle of Def Fresh Crew (at the 29:30 mark in the show), but it seems fortuitous as it lets me mention the ridiculousness of the Meow The Jewels project which blew past its kickstarter goal this week. As part of Run the Jewels‘ second album release, the group consisting of El-P and Killer Mike were offering special packages for those willing to spring a bit of extra cash for the album. These were meant to be joke packages, but someone decided to call their bluff, and they, being the awesome dudes they are, ran with it. All the money will go to the families of Mike Brown and Eric Garner.
For me, I saw it as an opportunity to possibly do something good in the stupidest way possible.
El-P, via Entertainment Weekly. That EW article also sports the brilliant headline, “El-P has one explanation for ‘Meow the Jewels’ album: ‘Marijuana’ “.
Oh man.
Anyways, back to last week’s show. Pretty decent selection of music, and a couple of maybe over-eager mixes. I’m loving the mellow vibes at the beginning of the show, but the hip hop middle and dance-y end is fun times too. Enjoy!

These guys…
Mostly hip hop tonight with a small deviation towards drum’n’bass in the middle there.

This week, I was more than happy to welcome local producer/DJ Fatrok to the Fat Beat Diet to let him have a go at selecting and mixing tracks for the show. Aside from being one the nicest, most humble dudes I know, Fatrok also has great taste in music which is abundantly clear in the mix he laid down. It was great spending an hour talking music and dj’ing with him. Hope you enjoy it as well.
Be sure to check out Fatrok’s soundcloud as well.
