DaManDL's Music Station & Podcast

I declare that for 2012, REAL DJing is making a comeback!!  No more words, no long description, if you love real music of the 70s then you'll love this podcast.

Apologize for the abrupt ending, the radio station server got unexpectedly booted during my last 10 minutes.

One of the all-time good guys in hip-hop who spanned 3 different genres and 3 different decades. Responsible for many careers from P. Diddy, Eddie F, Pete Rock & CL Smooth, Mary J Blige, Al B Sure, Monifah, Soul IV Real, etc. One of the first artists to be a label's CEO (KRS is the other). It was necessary to do an immediate tribute to his catalog. Gone too soon!

probably my best R&B mix...from those smoothed out grown cuts to the party warm-up cuts!!

featuring Mary J. Blige, Changing Faces, the very underrated Faith Evans, Brandy, Horace Brown, Groove Theory, R. Kelly, Aaliyah, and others.

Perfect for the ride of for work...well it's slightly NSFW (not safe for work...language on a couple of songs)

A lot of y’all know me as a hip-hop historian, activist, purist and unapologetic NYer but I’m breaking my normal mold with this mini podcast highlighting a project coming out of Detroit that I THOROUGHLY respect.   It’s Elzhi … and his remake/interpretation of Nas’  timeless and classic first LP, Illmatic (1994).  This one is called ELmatic..therefore I present: From Illmatic to Elmatic.

mixed live on Only1FM Online Radio, June 16, 2011. In the spirit of the great Larry Levan, we pay tribute to this legendary NYC hotspot with the kind of tunes that used to tear the place down!

how often do you hear DJs mix R&B, hip-hop, freestyle, easy listening and pop all from the same decade for 2 hours straight?

• Madonna to EPMD
• Culture Club to Dana Dane
• Imagination to Kurtis Blow
• Expose to LL Cool J
• Run DMC to Phil Collins
• Joe Ski Love to Sade
• Blondie to Tanaa Gardner

Yeah...we went there and even further!  Live on Only1FM Online Radio on July 21, 2011.

I had to outdo myself from 2 years ago. They have Elvis but we have the true KING!!

From the old to the new..classic after classic after classic. THREE hours straight!

Broadcast live on January 27, 2011 on http://only1fm.com

We're always paying tribute to someone after they've already gone. I paid tribute to Kool Herc while he's still here (although in bad health). Not by playing just old-school hip-hop but to play all the elements Herc brought to us that birthed the hip-hop culture - break beats, R&B, disco, funk, etc. And of course, a STRONG(!!) James Brown session for the last hour.

This podcast ain't for everybody! Only my true house-heads!! We're international, baby!

The Greatest Entertainer of All Time!!!

Not too many words needed here. Every DJ in the world has their own way but I have to dig for some special songs and do it MY WAY.

Run time: 1 hour and 15 minutes

started off with brand new exclusives from Raekwon, Nas, Rick Ross, J. Period, Lloyd Banks, 50 Cent and Joell Ortiz....
