Crate Digging

This is the season finale of Crate Digging, we have on Wes Marskell from the Canadian synth pop duo The Darcys. We talk about how Wes probably was too young to be listening to Steely Dan, how he tripped and spilled his coffee all over the floor at Rotate This, selling test pressings of the band's albums and working with artists such as Leah Fay, Ralph and Tafari Anthony.

Nick McKinlay is the drummer for the indie rock band Fast Romantics, but also plays with A Band Called Max, Sportsfan, Rouge Tenet, and many others. We talk about how he has more records than the rest of the band combined, how his dad got rid of his entire collection except for Led Zeppelin albums and how in a time of need he sold all his OG pressings of Mars Volta albums and got ripped off for them.

If you live in Ontario or Quebec make sure you check out Fast Romantics on tour.

On this EP we have Polaris Prize nominated artist, rapper and producer Junia-T. You likely know him from his hit debut album Studio Monk or possibly as Jessie Reyez's tour DJ. We talk about him owning just about everything Sergio Mendes ever put out, record stores that don't let you test their product out and how he just missed out on a $200 record that appeared in a dollar bin. We also broke some news about a vinyl release for Studio Monk near the end of the show.

We're back from a brief break! On this EP we have DJ Waves joining the show. She's a talented DJ who can be seen spinning at afterparties for the hottest concerts at Budweiser Stage and at clubs around Toronto. We talk about her not appreciating her dad's record collection, what a Vampyros Lesbos is and what the differences are between DJing with vinyl and with MP3s.

The Zolas have released three full length albums, and are in the midst of putting out several new singles in the midst of a new album roll out. We talk about how Eric Clapton is overrated, bringing your own records to play at a bar (while wanting to impress the DJ) and being gifted records from within your own music scene.
