This week’s Melting Pot Radio Hour was pushed back because of the start of the school year at CSU-Long Beach, and getting into new work routines. Additionally, KCRW is having it’s winter subscription drive, and since I was at the studio helping out with some behind the scenes work, I was able to record the breaks so this almost sounds professional (though I’ll keep the econo tag since it’s all mixed together from home and not a proper studio).
This week’s show focuses on some tracks from what I call the “Wedding Tapes.” As I explain in the show, back in 2004 I sold almost all of my collection, about 2,000 records to help fund our wedding. In those pre-Serato days I luckily had the foresight to record much of the better tracks onto about 40 minidiscs, thus…the Wedding Tapes. A couple of things are pretty rare, most of it is just really solid music, today mostly focusing on Breakbeat heavy tracks. Enjoy the show and please please please send me some feedback via michael[at]meltingpotblog.com or on the comments page here.
