Strange Friends takeover over the radio show for episode 252. The Valley based group of rappers and producers brave a very warm studio for five sets. 252: Strange Friends Takeover - 7.30.16 Thank you all for listening. Check out radiosombra.org Saturdays from 6-8pm PDT for the live version.

Producers Amokian and ABF are the guests on episode 251 of the radio show (I erroneously said it was 252 on the program). The veteran producers come by radiosombra.org playing music from their most recent collaborative release The Green Tape. The third in a series of four (blue, red, green, and yellow) cassettes has the musicians blending their unique styles ranging from circuit bent electronics to foreign film samples. We end with a group interview. 251: Amokian and ABF - 7.23.16 Thanks to everyone for listening. Next week we'll be live with a Strange Friends Collective takeover. GREEN TAPE by Igor Amokian/ABF

250 episodes may be a milestone, but given the current situation in our country I decided to start the show with a different kind of celebration. My DJ set is dedicated to the Black Lives Mater movement with the music focused on the black experience in America. After my DJ set, producer Foniks visits for a live beat set on his MPC and Kaoss Pad. We also talk briefly after about his current life in Tokyo and Asian travels. Thanks to everyone for listening. You can listen live on radiosombra.org Saturdays 6-8pm PST. 250: Foniks - 7.9.16

Beautiful Beats Productions is the featured guest on episode 249 of the radio show on radiosombra.org. Originally from Chicago, the LA based producer does a live beat set in the studio followed by an interview. Before his segment I play a mostly vinyl DJ set featuring music from Jeff Parker, Radiohead, Elusive, Omid, EXT, Samiyam, among others. Thanks for listening!! Happy 4th of July!! Back live next Saturday from 6-8pm PST on radiosombra.org. 249: Beautiful Beats Productions - 7.2.16

Episode 247 of the radio show is slightly shorter than normal due to a scheduling issue (still haven't figured out how to be in two places at once). The good news though is for this solo show, I keep the talking to a bare minimum and focus on playing some new music by Dengue Dengue Dengue! and Nicola Cruz among others. This mix starts off on a jazz tip with a dubstep sequence before going more hip hop. Thanks to all of you for listening. Next week we are back on radiosombra.org with guest Luke Cage. Tune in live from 6-8PM PST. 247: Solstices - 6.18.16

Chicago based producer Nunca Duerma returns to the radio show for a great live set on episode 246 on radiosombra.org. A member of the Young Heavy Souls label/collective, he has a new LP called Ven Ahora coming out June 17. Nunca Duerma will be playing Low End Theory in Los Angeles on Wednesday, June 15. Thanks to everyone for listening. 246: Nunca Duerma - 6.11.16
