Podcasts I'm a fan of...

I try not to over promote myself without giving respect due to artists, dj's, and podcasters alike who's mixes I have stumbled across while doing my own mixes on podomatic.com, but some of these guys respectfully are putting together music that I feel is earnest, cultured, and true to their own ideas of why music inspires them. So with that being said, here are my 3 current favorites. I'll give a little prologue into why I like them and include the link too.

First off my main man DJ GREEDY G comin' straight out of Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, England spinnin' original rock steady and ska grooves, this geezer has been collecting vinyl from jump and doesn't give a f*ck what you think, he ain't playing no modern "bling bling" shite, just pure reggae niceness, including The Skatalites version of "Baby Elephant Walk" and nuff rockers and rock steady chune, DJ Greedy G is the working mans DJ and his music is pure (no chemicals). Check him out http://djgreedyg.podOmatic.com/ or on http://www.myspace.com/djgreedyg.

Next up is the Dope Joint Hip Hop Show. A "true school" hip hop mix show on CJUM 101.5 (University of Manitoba) comin' straight out of Winnipeg, Canada. Kinetik The Jointman and @Large play and reminisce about some of their favorite joints from Hip Hop's golden era, and they do a mighty fine job. I have to say that the attraction for me is their knowledge of hip hop and their overly Canadian voices. It's like Bob and Doug McKenzie from SCTV meets The World Famous Supreme Team Show, HOSER!... It's raw but calmly Canadian, and it's pure hip hop. Check it out: http://dopespot.podOmatic.com/

And last but mos' definitely not least is http://umojahifi.podomatic.com/ yeah that's right!, my crew. Ya done know... UMOJA SOUNDSYSTEM been doin' ting's big and if there was ever a crew of rag tag degenerates that inspired a whole heap of DJ's (some very famous one's, but we'll leave it at that) through their sound, it's this bunch. Umoja is the dj's deejay. Spinnin' sounds from soul and reggae, dancehall and D&B, rare groove and hip hop, and all things rhythmic and conscious. Just check out DJ Tomas' "I'm A Rootsman" reggae mix to get a feel for the history and knowledge of this crew. And we been challenging and inspiring each other for close to 20 years and you can hear it in the mixes. DJ's Tomas, Jun, Culture D, Cokni O'Dire, and Daz aka UMOJA sound, holdin' it down for the crown. Large Up! http://umojahifi.podomatic.com/
