Redefinition Radio Update (shamless plug related)

I figured since I've been speaking on the Red Alert and Chuck Chillout shows in here and got a couple questions about what it was all about that I would post something I just wrote up for my blog about the "Tribute To Hip Hop History" shows I'm doing....Yes, I'm back at it again good people. Last year was the "2nd Annual Anniversary" of Redefinition Radio and in honor of that we started a new theme. When I first thought of this idea I thought it would be interesting and unique but I really had no idea how or if I could pull it off. However, it ended being one of the themes that I'm most proud of. As far a I know it's a truly unique experience. Peep:The goal of these shows is to pay tribute to some the all-time great pioneers, innovators and personalities of Hip Hop radio. I'm doing that by playing some of the musical projects they were involved with, which often came as a result as their popularity as radio show hosts/DJs. Then there is the "Recreation" Process where we are replicating some classic original shows. DJ Plain Ole Bill was given some old tapes and he studied them then played the same songs, same order and similar turntable trickery. Then I took his mixes and went and pulled soundbytes from the original shows plus added in some other of my own elements to help give them a more "authentic" feel to the original broadcasts. You can't imagine how some of that worked out....ha. Me sitting there with boomboxes, hand held recorders and whatever I could make sound good plugged into my computer. Dealing with tapes snapping and other technical mysteries to figure out. Well, it all paid off and I think makes for a interesting listening experience on the serious "future primitive" tip...This week's show is completely dedicated to two of the most influential and inspirational Radio Show DJs of all time, KOOL DJ RED ALERT & DJ CHUCK CHILLOUT. DJ Plain Ole Bill is back for "Recreation Mixes" for Red Alert and Chuck Chillout. DJ Nikoless makes his Redefinition Radio "debut" with a special "Red Alert Meets Chuck Chillout Mix". Plus there's "pause mix style collages" and samples of Original show promos, shout outs, echo chamber effects and whatever else I could make happen...ha.
