The Fat Beat Diet – Holiday Editions
December 24th and 31st

cbxmasAnother 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.

TrackBastards do The Spread!

TrackBastards do The Spread

Calgary’s infamous TrackBastards join me at The Spread this Saturday December 12th.

TrackBastards have drilling, grilling and thrilling Calgary audience for what seems like forever both on their Friday night CJSW radio show Dirty Needles and at some club nights about town. What you probably didn’t know is that Wyze One is also a straight up indie music nerd. He’s got more indie cred than I do, and has a pile of indie and electro he’s been wanting to play for y’all for ages. And don’t get me started on Erwin. It’s either gonna be insane, or they’ll drive me insane. One way or the other, you’re not gonna want to miss this one.

The Fat Beat Diet, November 19th 2009

newstudioWell, 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:

The Fat Beat Diet – November 5th 2009

This week turned out pretty good, despite some ill-advised pitchy tricks. Starting out this evening with some really mellow hip hop before winding it up right at the end with some house music for the last 15 minutes or so. Ah, those house tracks brings back the good old days of Sole Sessions at the Night Gallery with my homeboy Shidoshi. Nearly brings a tear to my eye! I’m gonna have to start playing more house after this. Seriously, 2-minute blends with dead easy intros and outros?! I’ve missed you! I haven’t ridden mixes that long in forever…

Enjoy:
