This week, local DJ, collector and veritable Hiphop historian DJ RIDE comes to the Beatkeep to throw down a hard arguement for Hiphop not losing it's light in view of the modern scene. We talk record collecting, respecting the scene, and how to get addicted to Hiphop. Included are excerpts from two of his mixes, 3rd Element (https://soundcloud.com/kool-dj-ride/3rd-element) and The Slickness (https://soundcloud.com/kool-dj-ride/01-the-slickness). 

BKR offers up a new segment, meant exclusively to give underground artists a chance to share their music, views and more in a 'get-to-know' biographic recording.

In this session of BKR, Incyte veers away from hiphop to learn about the roots of House music, getting on the radio in Santa Fe and the steep learning curve for DJing in any genre with KSFR DJ BadCat (Jennifer Castro). We also explore staring over with music after/with an existing career, dating people in the scene, and being a successful woman! You can hear her mix House records on 101.1 FM from 12-2 AM Saturdays, but if you miss her slot it is available as an archived FB live feed (facebook.com/djbadcat).

Includes original tracks by BadCat: Pink Noise (intro), Yesterday (plays at 15:17), and I Member (End of Show).

Interview with DJ CAP from the Outstanding Citizens Collective, including discussion about transitioning from a traditional HipHop DJ on turntables to making sound as a beatmaker using Ableton. We explore some of the creative difficulties inherent in working with a group and we touch on where DJ CAP sees Trap playing a role in the future development of HipHop as a broad genre.

Interview with AUXAUDIO, producer, audio engineer and facilitator of UTC crew (Benny Browncoat, The Disciple, Afu-Ra, Context, IGOD). AUXAUDIO comes from Bernalillo to discuss his expertise, experiences, overcoming anxiety and being professional- finishing with his track 'Guitar Speaks' off his release 'Rebel Rouser' (https://auxaudio.bandcamp.com/album/rebel-rouser). Intermission music break at 33:15 has a BeatKeepers track, '380K' off the upcoming album, "MasterCool'.

"Under The Crown is as real as it gets. As independent DIY devotees to their craft, these HipHop missionaries skillfully combine the traditional elements of rapping, turntablism and beat-making with social understanding and genuine love to create a functional tool for community building, UTC. 

To see UTC live is to be reminded of who UTC's track really are for: the listener. With Jurassic-5 era stage control, tightly managed beats and sharp lyrics assaulting the senses, it's clear that every aspect of their work has been tailored with complete selflessness. Like preparing a hand made gift, UTC gives personal attention to their fans, shows, production and community. If you see their set and your head doesn't nod on it's own, then HipHop isn't the right genre for you."
