Remembering Fontella Bass to start of the show tonight, then a nice mix of tasty delights.

This week, we took over the Road Pops to bring you 3 hours of music to kick off a nice holiday weekend. the first part of the Road Pops is some mellow stuff ahead of an interview with Trick Trick. In the second half of the Road Pops, we wind it up through some nice breaks and then some fine house.
For the Fat Beat Diet, we mellow it out with some nice hip hop and funk.

20 yrs of Dr Dre’s The Chronic album? Wow, time flies. Other than celebrating this minor milestone, this week on the Fat Beat Diet, we kick off with some nice downtempo beats before winding through hiph op and then on to some nice ragga drum’n’bass at the end of the show.

Tracklist is MIA
It’s been fun starting it off these last few weeks with some nice uptempo jams. Not sure that’ll always be the case, but it’s been working so far. On the uptempo goodness side, I’m loving everything about this track right now:
The drums, baseline, filtered vocals… Well, maybe the vocals a little less than the rest of the track, but this one’s making my butt wiggle. Also, if you liked the Route 94 track, go get it here.
Speaking of things I’m liking, this Mystikal track came out of nowhere, but big fan of this also.
Pretty nice flow to the show this week. Hope you enjoy it too.

I was gonna do a long intro, but got lazy. Here’s the show:

Hey, it’s another show. Loving Waajeed’s update on the Art of Noise’s Moments in Love with Make It Boom. Other than that, some nice uptempo heat from Cid Rim. We then roll through some drum’n’bass before dropping down into some hip hop. Mad Child’s Wake Up was my favourite off his newest Dope Sick album, so I was surprised to learn it was the only track on the album which predates his detox. I love the keys on the beat, so I tried to pair it with a few other tracks which feature some nice keys, but to my ears those mixes worked better in my head…

We’re movin’ on up to Friday nights, taking over the old musiquarium time slot and kicking off your weekend from 6-7pm
I’ve got a lot of respect for Sideshow Sid and what he’s done with the Musiquarium over the last 20 some odd years. Taking over this time slot feels like a lot of responsibility and I’m definitely aware of all that’s come before me. Having said that, my show will remain my show and longtime listeners probably won’t notice much difference in programming, save for once again lopping a half hour off the running time of the show.
I’m still not 100% sure the move to Fridays is the best move for me personally, but I do think it’s a good one for the station so I hope you all enjoy. I do hope that there are a few up and coming programmers at CJSW who will keep on playing hip hop, funk, and electronica on other nights of the week, because as strong as the Friday night lineup is, it’s a shame that there aren’t more opportunities to hear this type of music outside Friday nights (shout out to my thursday night man, Raj and Funk Senden!) on our airwaves. For that I’m a bit sorry to be leaving Mondays.
Onwards and upwards, I guess. This week’s show treads some familiar funk and hip hop beats.

Things hadn’t been totally decided yet when I did this show, but now after the fact, i can tell you that yes – this was in fact the last Monday night show for the Fat Beat Diet. Mondays have been fun, and I’m definitely going to miss having 90 minutes to play with but the only constant it seems is change. I want to especially thank my Monday night compatriots, including Chef Wayne, the women from YWSS, and Joan from the Spin Evolution for being such great programmers and very nice people. I can’t believe I’m trading the intelligent discourse of YWSS for the Road Pops. sheesh.
At any rate, this particular show was a blast. A nice uptempo start with some recent favourites before slowing it down into some hip hop for the end.

Somewhat disappointed that the station’s logger crapped out so I can’t post these shows for you – I think they probably would’ve sounded mint. Ah well, tracklistings after the jump if you’re still interested.
Big heartfelt thank to everyone who pledge last week to CJSW and to the Fat Beat Diet. With your help, we managed to exceed our fundraising goal of $200,000. On the Fat Beat Diet, we managed to raise well over $1,300, which is fantastic for an early week evening show.
If you haven’t yet pledged or donated to the station, it’s not too late! Just call the office line at 403-220-3902 or donate on-line (instructions in the last post).
About Your Incentives…
I received a note from someone who didn’t get the download voucher for their Fat Beat Diet mixes when they picked up the rest of their CJSW swag at the CJSW offices. If you haven’t received your download voucher or don’t intend to pick one up at the station, please email me or drop me a line in the comments and we’ll get it sorted as soon as possible.
