Yes, I'm back at it again good people. Last year was the "2nd Annual
Anniversary" of Redefinition Radio and in honor of that we started a
new theme. When I first thought of this idea I thought it would be
interesting and unique but I really had no idea how or if I could
pull it off. However, it ended being one of the themes that I'm most
proud of. As far a I know it's a truly unique experience. Peep:
The goal of these shows is to pay tribute to some the all-time great
pioneers, innovators and personalities of Hip Hop radio. I'm doing
that by playing some of the musical projects they were involved with,
which often came as a result as their popularity as radio show hosts/
DJs. Then there is the "Recreation" Process where we are replicating
some classic original shows. DJ Plain Ole Bill was given some old
tapes and he studied them then played the same songs, same order and
similar turntable trickery. Then I took his mixes and went and pulled
soundbytes from the original shows plus added in some other of my own
elements to help give them a more "authentic" feel to the original
broadcasts.
You can't imagine how some of that worked out....ha. Me sitting there
with boomboxes, hand held recorders and whatever I could make sound
good plugged into my computer. Dealing with tapes snapping and other
technical mysteries to figure out. Well, it all paid off and I think
makes for a interesting listening experience on the serious "future
primitive" tip...
This week's show is completely dedicated to two of the most
influential and inspirational Radio Show DJs of all time, KOOL DJ RED
ALERT & DJ CHUCK CHILLOUT. DJ Plain Ole Bill is back for "Recreation
Mixes" for Red Alert and Chuck Chillout. DJ Nikoless makes his
Redefinition Radio "debut" with a special "Red Alert Meets Chuck
Chillout Mix". Plus there's "pause mix style collages" and samples of
Original show promos, shout outs, echo chamber effects and whatever
else I could make happen...ha. Here some much by The B Boys, U.T.F.O,
Sparky D, RunDMC, Tla Rock, Grandmaster Flash, Mantronix,
Ultramagnetic MCs, Chill Rob G, Word Of Mouth, etc....
Here's last week show paying Tribute to Jock Henderson, Lady B, World
