Soul Controller triple play

News April 15th, 2008

Already put these out there but hard drive space is cheap and you need more goodies to work out/house clean/commute/pre-party to, right?

The two most recent DJ Book mixes on Decipher are must haves. As you know, our slot was moved an hour earlier. It’s a positive move but the one snag in that plan is that Book doesn’t finish at WPGC until 9:30. These two sets might be the last time you hear him on WPFW for awhile and as usual, he kills it. (subscribe/iTunes)

DJ Book - Decipher 3/13/08

DJ Book - Decipher 4/4/08

Jamil’s still holding down Mondays at Marvin. That’s where he gets to dig into the deeper recesses of his crates that lie hidden when he’s playing his more mainstream gigs. He usually starts out with classic soul befitting the venue’s namesake and then veers off into the outer reaches of futuristic black muzik. You haven’t been yet? Download this set recorded live last month.

New time slot for Decipher on 89.3fm WPFW

News April 10th, 2008

Decipher, WPFW 89.3fm

Now at 10pm, Monday-Friday
Soul Controllers on Thursdays

Lots of you have expressed the desire to stay connected with real hip-hop but your grown up lifestyles won’t allow you to tune in at 11pm. The earlier bump by an hour is a good look all-around. And you can also get your fix from the online stream or the podcast.

DJ Book’s Love Experience

News February 15th, 2008

No, it’s not a Raheem mixtape done by this guy, although I wouldn’t be mad at that (’sup Lil Mic).

It’s just a little Valentine’s Day edition of Decipher from the good ‘PFW studios. (subscribe/iTunes)

Been having a good time lately. You should tune in.
