The Special Brew / Ear Conditioning Feb. 12

The Ear Conditioning program is now being transmitted by Radio Norte 89.4FM, straight outta Tacoronte.
The program is pre-recorded however i am not describing what tracks, who by, where you can get etc., which is a shame really, as i am supposed to be informing the listeners as to what the hell is going on. I am planning to do the show from next week okay?!

I came across DJ Negro via hispace, and he has been kind and generous enough to send me seven tracks to share amongst the listeners. His style....cumbia, dub, dancehaul. Everybody that has Diplo and the Mad Decent crew on their radar knows of the sixteen year old RyeRye....well i think they do, and so should you. Speaking of Diplo, while The Bug was visiting us here, he gave me a blast of Piracy Funds Terrorism mixes of M.I.A. that Diplo produced. I was able to record the session note for note in my head and re-record it for you here..."Yeah right, you copied it ya bastid!"
Lined up for tonight´s program is a new joint from Erykah Badu, getting a kinda dubstep-inspired treatment from Mr. Moody, Tony Thorpe. One of the main men at Universal Records was back home in NewZealand and heard his remix of Amy Whinehouse, and was moved to ask "Who did dat?" and "Can he do something with Ms. Badu?" This one is for the ladies. We continue to follow the links....from Badu to Jay Electronica....yes, him again. His flow is so different i´m hooked like the fish we had for lunch.

This past weekend, the group Tropico28 and myself headed to the mainland for a couple concerts in Alcazar de San Juan and Madrid. During one session, Aitor, the Tropico programmer asked "What is that track you just played that had the heavy pounding drums, that opened my mind?" Oh, you mean The Bug remix of Thom Yorke, i responded.
