• Ep. 149 - Thes-One ('Farewell, my friend' - in conversation)

  I've been interviewing and documenting People Under The Stairs for over 20 years, our first was in 1999 (see end of this episode) in Mid City, Los Angeles at the Cambridge Street house of our guest Chris Portugal aka Thes-One - where I sat with him and his partner Double K as they recorded their sophomore album 'Question In The Form of An Answer'. Today, on this episode, in this conversation, we reflect on our friend Mike Turner aka Double K, the late, great, beloved friend, partner, producer, DJ, rapper, dog lover, husband, son, cousin, brother, best dude.

• Ep. 148 - Daniel Aged

  Daniel Aged - one of this generations more innovative bassists just released his send solo full length project (between collaborations with Frank Ocean) titled You Are Protected By Silent Love, the follow-up to 2018's practically perfect self-titled debut. Daniel and his brother Andrew delicately carved out a pathway in reimagined of untangling genre constrictions through their band 'inc.' (or Teen Inc. or 'inc. no world'). Their 2013 'No World' LP accomplished what so many major label artist kill themselves to do, with effortless grace. I was the band's booking agent on and off for years and had the pleasure of coordinating many of their tours and shows. We catch up over the years in the convo, you can purchase and stream Daniel's fantastic solo work here: https://danielaged.bandcamp.com or https://www.danielaged.com. Opening song is "Whole Heart" (from his latest) and we close with "Hymn 2" the final song from inc. no world's 'As Light As Light' (2016).

• Ep. 146 - DJ Kid Slizzard - SMK: Bass in Ya Face

  SMK is a genius producer whose widespread and often hidden influence across underground and mainstream rap and r&b has yet to be fully documented. He produced the early seminal singles of Al Kapone and Indo & Lil Blunt's full-length for Luke Records and through his contributions to Devante Swing's Da Bassment Crew massively influenced a nascent Timbaland. He's known to be the hidden author of Tupac's "Bring Da Pain" beat and in that cut you can hear his signature psychedelia - interwoven bells in visceral syncopation over a foundation of kinetic bass. It was Jazze Pha and his Bar-Kay father who brought him from West Palm Beach to Memphis where his style exploded after being introduced to the local "Get Buck" dance and sound at Studio G on Beale St. He went on to become probably the most adept re-appropriator of the Triggaman bells on record. This mix spans at least 30 years of his career and features Skinny Pimp, Al Kapone, Indo G & Lil Blunt, Brother Marquis and many more. As many tracks come from digi-only SMK releases that omit vocalist credits, I just omitted all the credits. (Some of those tracks themselves omit the vocalists, e.g. instrumentals from King JC tapes). As for me, I'm a music/video/visual/word collage artist based in Ann Arbor, MI. I first got into thug rap from hearing "Ha" by Juvenile on the radio in Atlanta, then was introduced to bounce music via taped Q93 broadcasts when, in high school, I was in a band with Matt Miller, author of "Bounce: Rap Music and Local Identity in New Orleans" and director of "Ya Heard Me". Years later I continued the pursuit of underground southern rap through the blog "Twankle & Glisten", posting mixes there as "DJ Kid Slizzard", the last of which eventually reached you (and, amazingly, made money to feed Memphis's hungry) - DJ Kid Slizzard here is the track listing - please spread the word....
