Saturday, September 27th, 2008


Sunday (9/28) 9pm et, Tuesday (9/30) 9 am et on RAW (ch.66, Direct TV 846)

Its been a busy week for the Subsoniq Crew… K-Murdock was in a beat battle earlier this week (Red Bull’s Big Tune), Jake One and Vitamin D came through the studio (to be aired next week), and we got a new timeslot during the morning drive on Tuesdays! So we figured for this week’s show we would celebrate by gathering the crew together (special guest DJ Woody Wood), make fools of ourselves on the mics and just play some good progressive hip hop. Look for new music from Jake One, DJ K.O., Murs, People Under the Stairs, Heltah Skeltah, Supastition, DJ Revolution, and the radio premier of two exclusive tracks from the upcoming Panacea album “A Mind on a Ship Through Time”.

Pitch Control Instru-mental Style

Thursday, September 11th, 2008

Sunday 9/14 10pm et on XMU (ch.43 Direct TV ch.83)

This week on “Pitch Control“, we’re welcoming in one of the cornerstones of the progressive hip-hop movement on XM, but as well an artist in his own right, producer K-Murdock aka Doc from XM’s “Subsoniq”. Whether he’s crafting production as an audio animator at XM or producing for his group Panacea, K-Murdock is a producer who digs deep for his sounds and this week he’s in the driver seat on “Pitch Control” to showcase some of his recent favorites. Focusing mostly on compositional and instrumental progressive hip-hop, you’ll hear artists like Nicolay, Nujabes, Damu, Fat Jon, DJ Spinna and Jackson Conti, among others. Tune in to “Pitch Control” this week for a ride through the (digital) crates of one of XM’s and one of today’s leading soundsmiths, K-Murdock
