DJs pick an album/song/artist of the week they can’t stop jamming to and find music similar to it in sound and style (lead singers that sound the same, bands that use the same writing style or sound the same). This is a recommendation show focused on underground artists (similar to popular titles) worth exploring. We talk about the theme of the week and why we chose the music we did. No specific genre, possibly no taste, and definitely no limits. But we do play what we’re into. Expect rock, alternative, and lots of new music.
Drawing its name from the artwork for Marvin Gaye's 1976 album "I Want You," The Sugar Shack aims to highlight the many different eras, sub-genres, and hidden gems of R&B. Each episode will focus on a specific time frame, location or sub-genre of R&B, (like Quiet Storm, Philly Soul, or New Jack Swing), and we'll be playing the songs and then discussing them, as well as talking about the artists and stories behind the creation of the music! I want this show to be as entertaining as it is informative, and show how multifaceted the genre is as a whole.
Rabbit Hole offers a glimpse into what music the strangers of the internet are recommending. In the not-so-distant past, the only way to find music was in real life—now, anyone and everyone can (but not necessarily will) have their opinions heard! Every week, we curate a playlist from what people have posted about on Tumblr, Reddit, Instagram, YouTube, and more. We also discuss the music we’ve enjoyed and the “rabbit holes” we’ve gone down in the past week. And, of course, we’ll be taking requests!
On "For the Record," we will do a deep dive on an album meaningful to us each week ranging in genres from pop to alternative to indie to whatever peaks our interest. We'll chat about the artist's journey, how the songs flow together, our personal relationship to the music and the secret meanings hidden in every song. Listening along to the album as we chat, we'll tie in interviews, social media, and music video references to give a deep background on how the album came to be. We'll also bring up similar lesser known artists that we think listeners will enjoy.
