We talk to SMOL BEATS who is FKA Adamallday and one half of the Bass music Duo Carbon Copy. We were seeing a new label appear out of no where called DOYU with a lot of bass artists in the general Alberta area and we wanted to see what his future plans with the label was. Of course we steered off the rails as we should but I had a blast talking to him. He seems to be focusing on music more than anything right now.

THE ORIGINAL PODCASTERS WHO INFLUENCED OUR PODCAST HAVE APPEARED ONCE AGAIN. FORMER PETROCAST NOW INSPIRING GARAGE BAND ANCIENT HIGHWAYS HAVE CAME OVER TO TALK TO US AGAIN ABOUT THEIR MOVE TO THE EAST, THE STATE OF THE MUSIC INDUSTRY AND THEIR OPINIONS ABOUT CALGARY. I LOVE THEM SO MUCH AND WE WOULD BE NOTHING WITHOUT THEM. CHECK IT OUT AND HEAR THIS PODCAST.

Things get busy. Long time since I have had a guest this year for a podcast. Our next guest is someone I have been watching heavily on instagram trying to spread some inspiration for local producers. We have the man who does lovely stuff for Eyethought Records including recording/broadcasting dj shows for eyethought on top of that doing visuals for eyethought. W8LESS is just a media man and I love to see that there are more people in YYC creating media. by media I mean he does small interviews, instead of creating narcississm. Anyways I asked him actually during the last DMK show to do an interview but the truth was was that I was incredibly tired. But last saturday on Rememberance Day I was not tired. So this is when I was actually off work and almost drunk so viewer descrection?

Late but not so Late. We have finally added another podcast, This time with someone who has a lot of similar values I have just coming from being a promoter in the all ages punk scene. Liam O'Niel started the Calgary School of Informal Education,  A school that teaches people who want to learn about things in life - Whether science, math, psychology or physics - by someone passionate about the subject. He also started (almost ended) something that I (John Arum) have a lot of passion for which is Strobe Sober FKA Club Soda. We had a nice talk about our views in the music scene, why he started what he started and what he was about!

yay

new podcast

substation human Casey Rusty meeks

I met him in 2012 and I got the privilege of seeing a DJ test out their beats and seeing it work on the dancefloor in 2012. He also helped me through mixing and a ton of stuff. 

He started subsation recordings as a dubstep label and in 2013/2014 it turned into a western electronic dance music label with the help of Isis Graham and into something bigger than ever. Now he does nights at Hifi and Habitat in support and plays tons of festivals including his longest running festival attendance Motion Notion.

 

We jjust goofed around in this podcast!

hello all we are back from a  little hiatus. Maybe not in podcast but in overall Modest Kids form we took a much needed break for regathering and reshaping direction. Not going to get far into that because I have a guest whom I cherish. I (JHNN) met his drummer for his band Septembryo back in 2012 and got the priviliege of remixing an old song titled "The New Me". We also got a chance to hear him and actually favoured his podcast on Petrocast from our good friends Ancient Highways back when they were doing their shortlived podcast. The frontman and overall multiinstrumentalist came by and talked about UFOS, The significance of instagram in relations to fans and his very own comic book series.

 

I love this man and he left me with one big quote i will never forget. "You can't just be flying planes"

Just take a listen to understand the context

This girl is one of my favourite peoples on the planet. I just always enjoyed talking to her about music and weird stuff like Cats and you know. but I GUESS I SHOULD MENTION...just to be a good host....THAT she is a DJ of the style of music called DRUM N BASS, Host  a show on CJSW called "Remote Emissions" on friday's at 11pm for an hour, was a key part of Girls on Decks, Drumn n Bass crew Come Correct and has been apart of the CJSW team since 1996!! I consider her one of my favourite friends I have met in the past 3 years and I have had a blast showing up to CJSW just to hang out and chat with Marisha. We actually recorded this at CJSW 30 minutes before her show but we will DEFINITELY have her back in the future. For now here's 20 minutes of Ms. LOTUS QUEEN! old rave stories, ska and rock talks and ETC.

I met this Guy on a Random night out on town with Alberta Music. Twas quite a crazy adventure and we just had fun times talking about acting, comedy and he showed me a couple videos on this night out. I have always wanted to have a talk with this guy and it was nice that we got some information out About Late Night At The Plaza. We talked about Racism, Comedians, KUSH, weed and Smokey the homeless intruder of the plazaThis dude actually used to be an independent artist but decided to act and do something amazing (Running the Late Night at The Plaza in Kensington) after a near death experience.
