THAT FUNKY STREET SOUND!!!

Funk was definitely Dogtrane's main theme for this show as he started right out with a classic funk groove master from Donald Byrd. He then kept it movin' an' groovin with more Funk, Electro, a dose of Disco of course, and even threw in some Freestyle to top it all off. Groovy set!

For my segment I played all of the hot movers from this week's Street Sounds Electro Chart. I also run down the chart in its entirety, taking over this duty from Leeroy's The Project on GFR. We will have the pleasure of doing the same next week as well.

Here is the track list for the Street Sounds hour:

N-Ter - "Always Look So Easy" - #17 (New Entry)
Robodrum - "The Message" - #13
Paul Hardcastle/Zero One - "Hard As Hell (Remix)" - #12

Cryotron - "Obey My Master (Rob Real 2.0 Upgrade)" - #9

Frequency 528 - "Sick Circuit Symphonies" - #8

Dr. Schmidt - "Adrenochrome" - #7

Mic Murphy Feat. Grandmaster Melle Mel - "Electro Soul Satisfaction (Sbassship Remix)" - #6
DJR21 - "Data Stream" -#5

Debonaire & Darxid - "Intercontinental Bass Express" -#2

Microthal - "Deceptive Behavior" - (Background)

BMV - "Lefty Righty" -#1

ENJOY!

BACK TO DA BOOGEY!!!

We returned from our one week hiatus with a rockin' unique show! Trying to keep the momentum we had established on Dogtrane's Birthday Bash, we kept the vibe groovin' an' funky all show!

Dogtrane set it off with a solid hour of classic Hip-Hop, Funk and beats and grooves, all blended sliced and mashed up to your heart's delight! The response in the chatrooom was raucous as he bombed beats from Art Of Noise to Biggie to Grace Jones to Eric B & Rakim. Definitely a "rock dat azz" master class!

For my segment I featured current Electro with Funk flavoring, showcasing brand new standout releases from Mic Murphy & Melle Mel and Fatback 4Way. Once again, continuing on my quest to give some light on those Electro artists who are daring to make tracks with bass lines, melody, and even song structure and lyrics, I dropped a set of Electro that included tracks that may not get much play on other shows, but I think stand out nonetheless.

Here is the track list for my hour:

Black Tokyo - "Winter In Japan"
MC Chill & DJ Overdose - "Still Chill (Vocal With Scratch)"
Leki - "Breakin' Out"
Mic Murphy Feat. Grandmaster Melle Mel - "Electro Soul Satisfaction (Lloyd Da Zoid & Diplomat Mix)"
Artificial Arm - "Go Back In Time"
Fatback 4Way - "Generate Some Action"
Paul Hardcastle - "Hard As Hell (Remix)"
The Breakniks - "Doc Who?"

Cryotron - "Obey My Master (Rob Real 2.0 Mix)"

Dr. Schmidt - "Tremor Hall"

Definitely not one to be missed!

ENJOY!

DJ DOGTRANE'S 20TH BIRTHDAY BASH!!!

This was another one of those funky Jam-On weekends, and boy did we rock! The house wasn't packed as per usual now that Summer is over and Fall is here, but we more than made up for it with 3 straight hours of some funky vibes!

The Birthday Boy started us off with a solid hour of dance music madness! From the classic to the obscure, he blended, sliced and mashed up a laundry list of Disco, House, Electro, Funk and all kinds of stuff in-between! Not a dull moment to be had!

For the middle segment I switched things up yet again! I started out with a brand new banger from Dr. Schmidt and a sneak peek at a hot track off of the Street Sounds Nu Electro Vol. 2 album by SKYBORG, but then went completely rogue on the format, laying down a personal mini-history of my musical encounters with the synth. Grabbing from such dissonant sources as the Ohio Players, Herbie Hancock and Kraftwerk, I attempted to show how all of those elements have played out in my own current work.

Here is the track list for my hour:

Dr. Schmidt - "Tremor Hall"
SKYBORG - "Drumbeats"
Ohio Players - "Funky Worm"
Stevie Wonder - "Too High"
Herbie Hancock - "Chameleon"
Kraftwerk - "Trans Europe Express"
Kraftwerk - "Metal On Metal"
Jean-Michel Jarre - "Oxygene Part II"
Newcleus - "Teknology 2 (2nd Rough)"

Dogtrane then came back in rare form to put the icing on his own cake! This time he hit us off with an hour of classic Hip-Hop, funky and hard! The chatroom was still packed, abuzz and jumpin' as he ripped up anthems from the likes of Eric B & Rakim, Brand Nubian, Public Enemy, Digital Underground, Run DMC and much MUCH more!!! A birthday present from Da 'Trane!

ENJOY!

BOUT FUNKIN TIME!!!

Dogtrane opened up a big ol' can of funky whoop ass this week. He dropped an ultra grimy set of choice '70s Funk and Funky Disco from the likes of The Ohio Players, The Commodores, KC & The Sunshine Band, Funkadelic, Zapp and the list goes on. All done up in Dogtrane's inimitable style, inducing more than a few funky grunts, growls and utterances on the mic from yours truly. A funky trip not to be missed!

For my segment I complained rather loudly with what I am finding to be a boring turn and trend in Nu Electro at the moment. I decided to do my small part to counter this by for the most part playing tracks that I feel have gone against this trend. Definitely a different flavor to this one.

Here is the track list for my segment:

Teknophiliac - "Something Beautiful"
The Middle Men - "Unseen Beings"
Blastromen - "Metal Machine Victims"
DJR21 - "Robotek"
Gammachild - "Necronomicon"
Newcleus - "Jam On It (DJ Xed Remix)"
Mandroid - "Anti-Gravity Machines Remix"
Kalson - "Like You"
Electronic Confessions - "Time Morphs"
Leki - "Breakin' Out"

ENJOY!
