The History of Rinse.FM | September 24, 2012 |
Son Raw bombs the system The history of London’s urban pirate radio is still murky and half-told with details only beginning to trickle out now that the format has mostly migrated to legal online locations. For those of us on North-American shores who’ve grown up in the hyper-commercialized Clear Channel era, there’s still something unbelievable […]
5 Million Rewinds: The Heatwave celebrate Jamaica’s 50th | August 8, 2012 |
Rolling Up on the Radio | April 22, 2012 |
I returned to the Mary Anne Hobbs show this week to introduce Schoolboy Q to British radio audiences and implicitly encourage inebriated auto use via “Hands on the Wheel.” Thankfully, their definition of the Underground is vastly different from ours. Mass transit, always a good idea. Schoolboy and ASAP’s collabo has been getting burn on […]
KDAY, Friday Night Live in ’85 ft. LL Cool, Bobby Jimmy & The Critters, and Rappinstein | April 11, 2012 |
All praise due to the Cut Chemist for ripping a cassette tape from a KDAY Friday Night Live, circa 1985. It starts with “Rock Box” and Toddy Tee’s “Batterram” and soars from there. Plus, guest spots from Rappinstein and LL during the time when “Rock the Bells” was a new single, not a festival featuring […]
Son Raw: Swampton share their record collection | April 1, 2012 |
Son Raw’s Sunday morning mix is brought to you by Wheaties and Power Plant Kush Sometimes, in my more “lifted” moments I wonder if anyone who reads this site is actually interested in everything we post. Not every single post mind you but the gulf between my selection Douglas Martin music is wide indeed. As […]
Son Raw: Chef & Pokes on Rinse.FM | March 3, 2012 |
Son Raw: Plastician waxes nostalgic | January 27, 2012 |
Son Raw was going to slam that shitty Rusko X Cypress Hill song, but what’s the point? Jeff was a bit optimistic yesterday in describing Electronic Music’s current forward drive as there’s more than enough nostalgia for yesterday’s futurism to go around these days. Much like it’s ancestor Jungle, Dubstep evolved so ridiculously fast that […]
Passion of the Weiss on Dublab Radio: Today from 4-6 p.m. (PST) | November 22, 2011 |
For those in the dark, Dublab is Los Angeles’ finest non-profit radio station and arguably its best broadcasting outlet extant. It’s the local analog of Rinse FM in London and regularly features sets from among others, Daedelus, Gaslamp Killer, and Kutmah. This week, they’re having their Proton Fundraising Drive in order to raise funds to […]
Mix: Thom Yorke on the BBC 6 | October 16, 2011 |
Had I known that Thom Yorke would celebrate the dawn of his 43rd year by spinning a two hour BBC set brimming with Badu and Madlib, Tony Starks instrumentals, Kevin Martin, PJ Harvey, and Autechre, I would probably have been an obnoxious Radiohead fan boy all along. Maybe I changed. Maybe Thom Yorke changed. Maybe […]
Call Ins & Hobbs | October 13, 2011 |
For those of you who don’t diligently monitor the Mixcloud miasma (“normals”) Mary Anne Hobbs has been dropping more gems than Prodigy and Havoc robbing a gold mine without a wheelbarrow. I’m not sure what that last sentence means, but I intended it to mean, a lot. Needless semantic complications. Below, check four of the […]
