Radio BSOTS show #163 - BBE Label Profile



Feedback's always cool, so feel free to get in touch via email, Twitter, or leave a message on the Speakpipe page.

This Radio BSOTS episode is actually a Bondfire Radio broadcast that I wanted to share with the podcast feed subscribers.  It's a show that celebrates the music of the fiercely independent Barely Breaking Even (BBE) Records label, so I figured that this would be a great one to share with those that have yet to experience a BSOTS on Bondfire broadcast in its entirety.

BBE has been celebrating its 20th Anniversary all year long.  The playlist below represents a mere toe dip in the pool of their massive catalog, but it speaks to the diversity of this great label.  Hope you enjoy the show.

Radio BSOTS show #162 - Tranquil Beats: Mondays In August, 2016



Not even gonna front:  I LOVE me some feedback, so feel free to get in touch via email, Twitter, or leave a voice message on the Speakpipe page.

Early on in 2016, Bondfire Radio began a playlist series called Tranquil Beats.  Focused on chilled out instrumental music, this playlist opens and closes the broadcast day Monday through Friday (9 a.m. and 12 midnight, EST).  A new guest curator is invited to select music to feature every month.  I took on the guest curator role for August of 2016.

Normally, Bondfire asks for individual songs from the guest curator that are played in whatever order they see fit.  From the website, listeners can see both the artist name and song titles as they play.  This episode features my Tranquil Beats picks that were played on Mondays in August, but they are presented in more of a mix tape style rather than a playlist one.  This is not the same order in which the songs were originally broadcast on Bondfire, either.  I just felt like the podcast audience should have something a little different.

This show is dedicated to all my USA heads who will be suffering from P.T.S.D. due to the 2016 presidential election campaign.  We all need a moment to decompress and I certainly hope that the songs within this episode can help with that effort.

Radio BSOTS show #161 - Both Sides on Bondfire (pt. 2)


Feedback?  I love it.  Who doesn't?  Please get in touch via email, Twitter, or leave a message on the Speakpipe page.

As a person who never wants the summer to end, I can't say that September is one of my favorite months.  It's the usual routine:  back to work, back to school, back to life, back to reality.  And for me, it's back to BSOTS on the podcast end of things.  The broadcast side of my life has been thriving thanks to Bondfire Radio and there's no reason why I can't dive into those archives to create shows for the podcast feed.  Not everyone gets to hear the live broadcasts, so I should make more of a concerted effort to bring some of that back to home base.

Continuing with the playlist approach from the previous episode, all of the songs in this show (except for "Mothership Riddim") were pulled from 2015 broadcasts along with a few talkover moments.  The selections within this show include everything from hip-hop and drum and bass to gospel house and even some Afrobeat from Eastern Europe.  While it's not brand new music, I do believe that quite a few of these joints have a timeless quality to them and will still sound good a decade from now.  Beyond that, at least one song in this episode will be new to someone out there.  Perhaps your next favorite artist is hiding out within this playlist.  Here's hoping that you enjoy the show and will share it with someone else who loves music.  :-]

(And don't forget about International Podcast Day!)

Radio BSOTS show #160 - Both Sides On Bondfire (pt.1)


Believe me when I tell you that your feedback matters.  Please get in touch via email, Twitter, or leave a message on the Speakpipe page.

I could list a dozen reasons as to why I haven't done this earlier, but none of them would be good ones.  For any one who ever wondered what on earth has been keeping me from creating new podcast episodes, the live broadcasts for Bondfire Radio every other Friday certainly have something to do with it.  With that being the case, I figured that I really ought to bring the BSOTS on Bondfire broadcast experience to the podcast feed.

Big shout out to Classick Material of the Cold Slither Podcast Network, whose encouragement served as inspiration for me to finally get this show done.  With that being said, it's clear that consistency lies on the broadcast side of things, so for more Bondfire archives and to subscribe to the broadcast feed, just go here to make that happen.

Radio BSOTS show #159 - fifteen/sixteen

Despite the fact that I'm typing this on the last day of January, I'm still saying "Happy New Year" to you all. Feel free to hate on me if I'm still saying it come Easter Sunday, but as for right now, 2016 is still young.

I always like to start off a new year of Radio BSOTS by looking back at the previous year of music and things are no different this time around. There are quite a few releases that came out within the last four months of the year that I think were exceptional and shine some light on those that we should keep tabs on in 2016, particularly Mizan K and Sarah Williams White. If you've been listening to the show for a few years, you know of my love for Harleighblu. Word has it that she'll be working on a full-length this year, which has me really excited. Beyond that, the new album from Chi Turner was originally scheduled for a February 7th release, but dropped early on his Bandcamp page. It's a really special one, certainly his best release to date.

Other highlights in the show include Satele's drum and bass take on A Tribe Called Quest instrumentals, the feverish remix of Moresounds provided by Clap! Clap!, the self-love affirmed by Rat Habitat, the melodic perfection of Prefuse 73 and My Panda Shall Fly, and the cathartic energy of Young Fathers. And let's not even get into how relevant a song "Don't Poison All The Water" by Mo Kolours is in light of the water crisis in Flint, MI.

There's so much more that I could say about the music, but it's always best to let it speak for itself. I invite you to listen and (hopefully) enjoy.
