LA’s own DJ Z-Trip comes through Subsoniq this week to chop it up with KB and Sheils (of Pitch Control). Topics covered include how to make the airport your home, a possible album collaboration with instrumental metal/dub group “The Dub Trio”, what some of Z-Trip’s biggest challenges were (in terms of playing venues, gigs, and crowds), and just how involved he was with the Obama campaign. After a long weekend of turkey and heavy drinking, avoid the family and kick it with Subsoniq and Z-Trip this Sunday night.

The History of Subsoniq

Thursday, November 6th, 2008

Monday 11/10 10pm et, Tuesday 11/11 2pm et on (XMU ch.43, Direct TV 843)

How did Subsoniq start? Whose idea was it to include a progressive hip hop show on satellite radio? Who were the original hosts? Which channel originally threw major support behind the show and got it on the satellite platform? What early artists showed love to the show and helped the show get its feet? What role did it play in creating Panacea? All of this and much more are answered in this week’s show!  Subsoniq welcomes one of the original creators of show (Josh aka J Kannizle) into the studio for an in-depth look at the history of the show, the music it supports, and what the future holds. Check it out this week exclusively on XMU (ch.43, Direct TV 843)!

Subsoniq Classix w/DJ Deeper

Wednesday, November 5th, 2008

Wed. 11/6 6pm et, Sunday 11/10 6pm et (The Rhyme ch.65 Direct TV 845)

Longtime Rhyme resident DJ Deeper is at the helm this week. Even though he will be mixing during the Subsoniq Classix timeslot, look for a lot of new gems from him in this week’s set. Its probably been a year or two since XMers have been able to hear a mix from Deeper, so we are really looking forward to seeing what he brings this week. Look for it exclusively on Subsoniq Classix. You can find more info and download links for Deeper’s mixes right here: http://www.myspace.com/djdeeper

Z-Trip’s Obama Tribute Mix on Subsoniq Classix

Thursday, October 30th, 2008

Sunday 10/5 6pm et, Wed. 10/7 6pm et, (The Rhyme ch.65 Direct TV 845)

So if you are a John McCain supporter we are guessing this mix may not quite inspire you as much as it does Obama supporters. Its very apparent to us that the vast majority of progressive hip hop artists are showing their support for Obama (or) a third party candidate this year. Our show covers the music those progressive artists make, and we never shy away from politics on the show.
Its rare that someone can infuse politics and music in such a unique way as Z-Trip does on this tribute. If your a fan of hip hop, reggae, rock, soul music and anything in between we think you’ll dig this. The mix also features Barack’s thoughts on a wide variety of topics, including hip hop. He has embraced the culture and the culture has embraced him.
