ARD 47: 2021 Year End Spectacular

Tons of new music this week. Lots of new girls raps, Jersey club raps, uptempo raps, dance raps, all the raps. We discuss if uptmepo music hits the same with younger crowds as it does with us. We wonder how singles become popular these days. Mike talks about his impromtu Karol G afterparty and spotify charts. We go over how single chants are the sole factor of appeal in 2 major club songs this year. Joe channels David Guetta and tries to acheive world peace via dance music.  Mike gets all Larry David about his Island Boys viral moment. We had to edit a lot because we were laughing so much so have fun with this one!

ARD 46- RECORD POOL: VOLUME ELEVENTY w/ DJ LIBERTY

Peep this history-filled episode with one of Philly’s true DJ vets, SAT-ONE! We start off by catching up after not having seen each other since before covid, and talk about what we did during that time and how it changed us. We get into Old school DJ philosophies VS New School and share tons of stories about the ups and downs of DJing over the past 2 decades. Sat talks about his beginnings as a super young Grafiti artist and DJ, and the balance between being a turntablist and party rocker. Dirty South Joe admits to breaking a code that has been eating at his conscience for years, as we discuss the benefits of letting go of old ways and old beefs. Sat talks about him meeting the rest of his Skratch Mekaniks crew, working closely with Jazzy Jeff, and his non-stop work ethic that has lead to him having his hands in everything. We wrap up talking about our club lives now,how positive we all feel about out jobs, and how grateful we are to do what we do.

ARD 45: Puttin In Work with SAT-ONE

No one cared abut Big Daddy Kane VS KRS except Mike, who starts off describing what he enjoyed about the recent Verzuz between the 2 legendary MC's. Joe lets us know about some more cringe-rap thats dropped, as well as some other new songs that came out. We also talk about the appeal of getting rid of laptops while djing, and share some technology nightmares. This was a quick episode we know, but we really just didn't want you to miss us too long.

ARD 44: ARD VERZUZ ARD

Asher Roth

Whoa we go really deep on this one with our friend Asher Roth! His new album, The Greenhouse Effect Vol 3, is out now. Its a concept album, reminiscent of the great indie boom of the late 90's, where the production was completely crowdsourced via dischord. But more than just discussing the new album, we go deep on mushrooms, psychedelic experiences, ghosts, dreams, sleep and all types of otherworldly shit.  We talk about Asher's hip hop jouney beyond "I Love College" and his growth as an independant artist, the rap industry, and the value of creative freedom. We also listen to some of our favorite tracks from the past and discuss some new music that we're feeling... and much more! This is a packed episode that was a lot of fun to record. Check out the new album here: https://open.spotify.com/album/6UPsuwRXqgz3gEREobcC0S?si=Tv2hcP5qSj-OK9uO-gzZKg&amp;dl_branch=1&amp;nd=1

ARD EP 43: Horticulture and Mycology with Professor Asher Roth

We"re back to talk about why are consistency fell off.  We discuss the new Drake album, a few new songs, and some current events that we missed int the alst few week. We're literally just vibing!

ARD 42: Beezy's back

As payback for sending him cringe tik tok videos, Joe forces Mike to listen to a genre we can only define as 'cringe rap". We didn't wanna have to do this. We hate ourselves for doing it. But theres a disturbing amount of terrible music thats charting way too high on the itunes rap charts and it needed to be talked about. And we're not talking about the usual complaints that people tend to have about the latest rap trends. We're talking about truly awful rap. Not only are these songs the sonic and emotional equivalent of hearing people cry at a funeral, the sentiments and ideas in these songs go against everything that hip hop represents to us. From all lives matter nonsense to just bad country hip hop hybrids, theres a whole nation consuming horrid rap music, and we're here to vent. (we also have fun and talk about new music and current events)

ARD EP 41: CRINGE RAP (We went through that so hopefully you wouldn't have to go through that)

Are we back or what?!! 3 weeks, 3 episodes! This week we have our first guest since being back from hiatus, Philly and Pittsburgh's own party Rocker, Radio vet, and tour DJ fir Wiz Khalifa.....DJ BONICS! We start off talking shop about clubs, request stories, twitch life, vinyl life, and the working class DJ perspective we all have. Bonics tells us how he got started as a DJ, and how he linked up with Wiz Khalifa. He  shares some stories, including getting stuck overseas when COVID first hit, as well as, some of the difficulties one may face being a stoner in certain countries. We talk about the impact Wiz had on lots of todays rappers both aesthetically and sonically. Then the convo gets very "hits blunt" as we go on about social media, the news, and its alarming impact on ourselves and society. We end with Bonics talking about his new opportunities in Vegas in the marijuana industry, and his current fundraiser to help fight homelessness. You can contribute here by hitting the link in his IG bio @djbonics

ARD 40: Puff Puff Pass with DJ BONICS!

Look at us! being consistent! After covering some current events, Joe turns in a vintage Dirty South Joe performance as we deep dive into Gucci Mane's A&amp;R skills and discover the long list of new artist that he has been putting on from some of the most random locations throughout the south. We go over a bunch of new tracks in the hip hop, latin and dance music space And we end with current covid convo and the state of nightlife.

Ep 39: In Guwop We Trust!

Philly DJs Low Budget (Mike), and Dirty South Joe (Joe) talk music, culture, and other topics probably at least vaguely related to the life of a working DJ.

5 starts, can we get a new episode please? i need to know about new jams to play this weekend.

*****

this show is clearly a 12 on the chumpcast scale

ARD: Awesomely Righteous Dudes

Here's part one of our conversation with Philly DJ legend Cosmo Baker (Remedy, The Rub); we ended up going really long but thought it was a great convo so we're posting this all up in two parts (part 2 will be posted on Wednesday). Topics include Wesley Snipes conspiracy theories, the BBQ Beat genre coined by Cosmo and the good/bad/ugly of other retronyms like boogie and yacht rock, verification on Joyner Lucas crappiness, 80s music movies, theme parties and how they're not all bad but kinda mostly are, Knight Rider, divorce rock and post-divorce rock, children's TV shows and their lasting impact, early 90s underground hip hop culture and playing Clipse for snobby backpackers, overseas UK+NY drill rap collabs and New York making great rap again, the return of Jai Paul and some other new music we're feeling.  Here's a [mostly] complete listing of the artists and songs both played and mentioned throughout the episode: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2cQnIcEOjc140ATH9K3f7g?si=OM1zXvR2TWKQ9BPkQlY6Xg

Episode 006 - Dababy Skye Fieri

Remember how our last episode was this highly informative documentaion of a musical genre that impacted our DJ lives and we then delved into the history of club music in a somehwat of an academic sense? This episode is definitely not like that! In this slightly dated, yet highly "entertaining" edition of the ARD podcast, we run down some "current" events involving Art Basel (basil, bazel), Lizzo's twerking incident, and changing of the lyrics to "Juice" to make it a "cautionary tale", as well as other internet stuff that captured our hearts and minds. We mostly review a lot of new hot and not so hot club bangers that are out now and have a lot of fun doing it.
