Z-Trip on Subsoniq this week

Wednesday, November 26th, 2008

Hip Hop Nation (ch.67 on XM platform, ch.40 on Sirius platform, Direct TV ch.847) - Sundays 10pm et

^^^^And you thought your morning hangovers were bad? ^^^^

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.

Subsoniq now on Hip Hop Nation, new shows to check

Wednesday, November 12th, 2008

Hip Hop Nation (ch.67 on XM platform, ch.40 on Sirius platform) - Sundays 10pm et

Subsoniq can now be heard on Sirius XM’s Hip Hop Nation. Our original time on RAW (ch.66 - R.I.P.) was 10pm-midnight et. We now takeover that timeslot again on the merged platform. We are excited to have the opportunity to continue to play the best of progressive hip hop over the satellites. While there are down sides (like losing our very short lived Tuesday 9am - 11am slot), we now get the chance to expose and promote progressive hip hop music to a wider audience. Expect the same approach and show/music philosphy from Subsoniq, we are now just on a different channel and at a different timeslot.

R.I.P. The Rhyme

Wednesday, November 12th, 2008

The Rhyme (formerly Ch.65 on XM Radio) has been discontinued as a result of the merger with Sirius. Backspin (formerly ch.43 on Sirius) also did not make the cut. This leaves the merged company with absolutely NO classic hip hop channel. The genre and the channel will be greatly missed by us here at Subsoniq (this also means the end of Subsoniq Classix).

If interested, below is a link for a petition started by subscribers to help reinstate The Rhyme and RAW.

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.
