Episode 28 : Do Not Eject
September 29, 2011 06:00 - 56 minutes - 64.7 MB"...as you sing your senseless songs to the mindless..." - Chuck D Got something of a theme this month - starting off really fast and bringing the speed down as we go through the episode; kind of like reverse club DJing! Got a bit of Public Enemy (saw them live again this month - they ...ed it, again), some great tunes from Manchester, and the usual selection of "I never heard that before" tracks to hopefully plant that digging bug in your head! Start playing this one in the gym and fini...
Episode 27 : Low Budget, Expensive Taste
August 31, 2011 19:00 - 55 minutes - 63.8 MB"...the optimum oxygen intake..." - Strategy (shout to DRS for the episode title!) Crazy month, what with an outbreak of rioting in several UK cities, and in the US (at the time of writing) an earthquake and a tropical storm in roughly the same areas within about a week! As I say in one of the links, I'm now on Twitter, just feeling out if it's something I need to stay with or not - follow me at airadam13, let's get some chatter going! But what are we going to talk about? Well, I reckon...
Episode 26 : Without A Trace
July 31, 2011 14:00 - 52 minutes - 60.5 MB"It's like tryna crack encryption codes..." - Sly What a month. The tragedy in Norway, Amy Winehouse dying, and maybe the beginning of the unravelling of Murdoch's hold on the UK? I started doing the selection/recording before most of these events happened, so any coincidences are just that... As promised, here are my photos from the Roy Ayers/Pete Rock gig; @Air Adam Photography on Facebook Full set @ Example Magazine and here are my pocket camera shots from the Ice Cube/Naughty By...
Episode 25 : Onwards & Upwards
June 26, 2011 08:00 - 54 minutes - 62.9 MB"Days come and go, but..." - Jane Child Second birthday for the podcast! Nice little back catalogue building up now :o) To celebrate the occasion, here's another show crafted to caress your eardrums - I've got some old classics, unrecognised gems, and just a little new heat to add the spice! It also seems to be remix city this month...
Episode 24 : 60 Minutes
May 31, 2011 20:00 - 1 hour - 68.7 MB"Just because you play the role, don't mean you get the part." - Bavu Getting this in barely in the nick of time before the month ends, things seem to have been conspiring against me! This episode marks the end of the second complete year of episodes and is an hour on the dot of gems from the 70s right up to last month. Hope you like it! Just to give you a couple of links I mentioned on the show; Air Adam Facebook page Nougold Podcast (DJ A-Up & Bedos) - monthly podcast of strictly ne...
Episode 23 : Fresh Out The Box
April 26, 2011 05:00 - 57 minutes - 66.2 MB"I'm the Eric Cartman of this rap ..." - Jean Grae This has been such a ridiculously heavy month for me out in the world it's untrue - probably the closest I've ever been to not being able to assemble the show on time but a few flashes of inspiration mean that once again the goodies arrive on time :o) PS - like the kicks?
Episode 22 : Don't Be Mad, UPS Is Hiring
March 27, 2011 16:30 - 58 minutes - 66.9 MB"Fast like Ramadan" - Biggie March 2011, 14 years after the death of the Notorious B.I.G - doesn't seem like that long ago. This show is sprinkled with a few gems from his catalogue, one you'll certainly know and others that you likely don't! Besides that, there's a track from the late Nate Dogg, the Michael Jordan of the hook, and plenty of other bits - quite a few obscure selections this month, but all very fresh in my humble opinion :o)
Episode 21 : Blowin' Up The Spot
February 27, 2011 21:00 - 50 minutes - 58.3 MB"Whole body blingin' like 3PO." - J Dilla A quiet month for me personally (day job excluded) but a huge month for the world - big changes in the Middle East have had me even more glued to Al-Jazeera than usual! Music-wise, this month has marked the fifth anniversary of the passing of the great J Dilla aka Jay Dee, and so I thought I'd include a few of my favourite Dilla tracks that don't usually make it onto the lists or the tribute mixes. Of course, there are plenty of other goodies too,...
Episode 20 : Game Reset
January 26, 2011 19:22 - 52 minutes - 60.2 MB"Like my dun Ron-Ron Artest, we teach y'all 'bout wildin'..." - Prodigy "Start out on the street, end up in the court" - Nick Javas Just couldn't choose between these two quotes - but then they both go well together :o) Happy New Year everyone! This month the selection just seemed to come really easily for the most part; I've pulled out a fair amount of old-ish Hip-Hop and mixed it up with a few more modern pieces - anyone who knows them all really is a veteran!
Episode 19 : Fly/Drive (featuring Danny Drive Thru)
December 29, 2010 15:00 - 54 minutes - 62.6 MB"My attitude is celibate...I just don't give a ..." - Kriminul Here we are at the end of 2010, and for the first time ever the podcast features a special guest! Danny Drive Thru is a Manchester producer and DJ who has what can only be described as a burning passion for music as well as a bucketful of talent. I met him a few years ago at the scratch workshop A Kut Above The Rest where he was already ferocious on the turntables but in the years since then his production knowledge has really...
Episode 18 : If You Can't Hear, You Must Feel
November 29, 2010 17:00 - 50 minutes - 57.3 MB"I'mma show you how to do it." - Royal Flush It's that time again, fifty minutes of the good stuff coming from my collection! It's an all Hip-Hop selection this month, but I think pretty much everyone listening will hear a minimum of 4 or 5 tracks they've never heard before. Heavy on the B-sides, album cuts, remixes and internet tracks this month...enjoy!
Episode 17 : Reserved For Future Use
October 27, 2010 08:48 - 49 minutes - 57.2 MB"Took 'til now to understand it." - Lisa Shaw Fairly low-key month for me, but I'm pleased with the way this episode came together - finding the right tunes just seemed to come easily! Still not liking the upfaders on my old mixer, but I digress. Hope you like this month's collection! RIP Gregory Isaacs and Eyedea...
Episode 16 : Four Fours
September 30, 2010 10:16 - 47 minutes - 54.1 MB"My name pops inside your head like Johnny Wishbone..." - Riddla Probably the perfect time to use this photo :o) Been a busy but good month for me, hoped to get this out a little earlier but spend a bit too much time trying to tweak the sound! Hope you enjoy it anyway, dusted off some stuff I haven't played even for myself in ages...or at all for anyone else! PS - in keeping with the title, I was going to just play 16 tracks, but couldn't resist throwing the last one in and messing it...
Episode 15 : Smack My Pitch Up
August 31, 2010 22:59 - 57 minutes - 65.5 MB"This music is mine...but I'm giving it all to you." - Space Lady I had a different selection starting to pan out nicely but unfortunately my nice mixer with 3-band EQ mysteriously bit the dust so I decided that rather than try to force the same blends on my back-from-retirement mixer I'd go in a different direction for the month. Normal service will be resumed with a handing over of cash to the repair company, I'm sure...
Episode 14 : Wreck Shop (and damage retail outlets)
July 31, 2010 22:16 - 51 minutes - 59 MB"Backup plan's got backup..." - Redman (Shoutout to DJ Greenpeace for the episode title - an old joke from back in the day!) Just squeezing this episode in with minutes to spare - the choice of the first few tracks seemed to flow easily but it took me a long while to settle on what to include for the rest of the show. It goes from the sunny, to the abrasive, to the paranoid, and more besides, and all in under an hour - enjoy!
Episode 13 : Can't Stop, Won't Stop
June 30, 2010 22:20 - 52 minutes - 60.2 MB"If I die, my seed'll be ill like me..." - Ghostface First birthday, yay! It's encouraging to look back on the back catalogue of episodes and see all the tracks I've been putting people up on...every time someone tells me they've chased up some stuff based on something from the podcast it's a great feeling. I started this month in New York - fantastic trip, so many memories I'll carry with me. Shout outs to Pami, Jerry Beeks, Black Robb, Selina, everyone at Tools Of War, David, and bo...
Episode 12 : Northern Lights
May 23, 2010 11:00 - 47 minutes - 54.4 MB"Shine on me." - CL Smooth Twelve episodes, a complete year! Been a hectic month but managed to get just enough time to give you another podcast of audio goodness - here's to more of the same next year!
Episode 11 : Stay Fly Zone
April 21, 2010 19:00 - 50 minutes - 57.4 MB"All praises due, if you know what I mean..." - Guru (By the way - no, that photo isn't Photoshopped - that's really how the sky looked that day!) This is about as close as a lot of people have got to flying recently, the volcanic eruption in Iceland has stranded a lot of people, including some of my listeners - hope you get home safe soon! As promised in the episode, here's the link where you can get the info on this week's Neighbourhood party - hope to see you there! The sad news was...
Episode 10 : Knowledge Cipher
March 17, 2010 18:10 - 47 minutes - 54.1 MB"We be listening to beats to keep the cipher complete..." - Guru Going into double figures this month! I managed to fight off a nasty sore throat for just long enough to get all the voiceover done, and in response to Coxy I think I've turned my voice up so it's not so quiet compared to the music - I'm sure he'll let me know if I've hit or missed the mark! Big shout out to Guru who as many of you know is currently in hospital after suffering a heart attack and (reportedly) being induced i...
Episode 9 : Original Soundtrack
February 15, 2010 16:31 - 48 minutes - 55.1 MB"Gazing at the worldly things like a showcase..." - ...ah Priest Podcast podcast number nine... been a quiet month for me but a bad month or so in music with Teddy Pendergrass, Sha Lumie and Apache all passing away due to illnesses. Appreciate your favourite artists while they're here!
Episode 8 : Say Word
January 17, 2010 10:45 - 52 minutes - 59.7 MB"Weapons of mass percussion." - Invincible Happy New Year! Welcome to the first episode of the decade, 50+ minutes of audio gems for your headphones, car, shop... Big event of the month has unfortunately been the tragic earthquake in Haiti - if you have a little spare cash, please donate to any of the many organisations trying to help out there.
Episode 7 : Three Kings
December 12, 2009 07:00 - 51 minutes - 58.5 MB"Everybody else on the Earth don't exist." - Crooked I I suppose this is the Christmas episode, not that I've got any Christmas records to play! I did think about putting sleigh bell sounds behind some of the tunes but decided against ;o) Ah well, time to close out 2009 with this one, and looking forward to heading onwards and upwards for 2010!
Episode 6 : ...to pay the bills...
November 15, 2009 13:35 - 48 minutes - 55.6 MB"Don't be shady, just pay me" - Roger Wow, it's been half a year already! It's a challenge to keep coming up with stuff but the feedback I get makes it all well worth the effort, especially when people are discovering something new. Anyway, let's have a look at this month's offering...
Episode 5 : Def Magnetic
October 15, 2009 23:10 - 48 minutes - 55.6 MB"I love this game." - Cormega This is the first month I've had to go into my boxes of cassettes to find a particular tune for you, hence the title of this episode! Thanks to the wonders of modern technology I recorded it into my computer and can manipulate the sound with the turntables via Serato - very space age. Ironically, I think this is the first episode which isn't quite short enough to go on one side of a tape... I've got a bit of a bad cold this month, but have tried to do a decen...
Episode 4 : Milk Is Chillin'
September 12, 2009 00:00 - 39 minutes - 45.7 MB"Sometimes you gotta do right." - Garrett Been an interesting month, from hanging out with the guys at Non-Stop sneaker store in Madrid to playing at the first night of Neighbourhood for a top crowd - oh, and assembling this of course! Still not used to the sound of my own voice on the voice-overs, maybe I should just prepare statements and have them read by a lawyer? :o) As Columbo would say, "just one more thing" - after many years of waiting, Raekwon's "Only Built 4 Cuban Linx...Part I...
Episode 3 : I'm So Fly I Got Six Legs And Land On ...
August 12, 2009 13:56 - 43 minutes - 49.5 MBThis episode's title is a quote from "At War" by Snowgoons - it's been tickling me since I heard it a few months ago :o) Anyway, here's another podcast of audio goodness for you, just about the right size to fit one side of a cassette if you're so inclined...hope you all make some discoveries this month, let me know what you think. Quick mention - thanks to Coxy's Blog for the article on the podcast last month!
Episode 2 : Back To Burn
July 12, 2009 08:10 - 39 minutes - 45.1 MBHi, I got a really good response to the first episode (thanks everyone!) so here we go with the second; you can expect a new one every month. I'll be aiming to keep it an easily digestible size every time, and to make it something to look forward to! Can't let this post go by without wishing Michael Jackson a peaceful journey - that was definitely one of those "where were you when you heard?" moments. I just had to include one of his tracks this time around...
Episode 1 of ?
June 16, 2009 11:29 - 38 minutes - 43.9 MBSo without further ado, here's the first episode! Hope you enjoy it - do leave comments!
