Interview with Invincible + Dilla Dedication

Check out The Revival at The Fembassy as directed by Invincible! She'll be rockin a Detroit Music Showcase at SXSW (check out her Sledgehammer vid featured there last year) in March with Emergence Music, as well as holding it down at The Foundation with Ma Dukes this Tuesday at Elements Gallery.

You can also catch her via Detroit Summer February 17th at Oakland University and keep an ear to the ground for a new album from her (hopefully soon!) with Wajeed. Stoked for that one!

Props on a great interview. And great tracks!

No wonder. J Dilla's legacy is now stronger than ever. I have discovered that the more people find out about his contributions to Hip Hop musically, the more people's minds are changed about what Hip Hop is. It helps that his colleagues and contemporaries do not cease to impress listeners, having absorbed some part of the man's music that spoke to them, and injecting that into their own styles... and building up a higher standard for music-making in this age of the producer. I think it's sweet that artists still rock his beats, I plan to explore more of them and continue to play definitive local music.

SAVE INDEPENDENT AIRWAVES

Hey everyone: do you like CJAM? Do you dig the local hip hop and electronica that I play on Minced Meat every Sunday? Would you like to hear it continue? CJAM needs your help!

Attention CJAM listeners and supporters,

CJAM is currently applying for an amendment to our broadcasting undertaking to assume a new signal at 99.1 FM. While CJAM has been broadcasting at about 1000 watts for over 10 years, the station was never granted “Protected Status” from the CRTC, thanks to pressures from the FCC who were concerned with CJAM’s level of interference with adjacent American stations. Without “Protected Status”, CJAM faces the risk of losing its signal to other applicants. In fact, CJAM faced that very risk recently when the CBC decided to apply for 91.5 in the fall of 2008. The CBC ultimately withdrew its application, but CJAM still faces possible removal from the FM band thanks to a pending American application for our signal ("SMILE FM" in China Township, MI, a commercial Christian radio station).

CJAM has identified a new signal – 99.1 FM - that could afford the station protected status and has moved forward with applications for this new signal to Industry Canada and the CRTC. The application currently before the CRTC is now open for public comment, and this is where we need you, our community of listeners, programmers and volunteers to make your voice heard. If you value CJAM and community radio in Windsor and Detroit, please express your support of our application. Letters may be submitted electronically at www.crtc.ca, by fax at 819-994-0218, or by conventional mail to the following address: CRTC Ottawa Ontario K1A 0N2.

Please, could you write a letter to the CRTC saying just how important CJAM is to you? We're one of the ONLY non-mainstream radio stations in the area, where we are allowed (required) to focus on content produced BY the community, FOR the community. If you have a sense of community spirit, please reach out and help both yourself and us programmers at CJAM.

Personally, I have come to love volunteering at CJAM. When I first created Minced Meat, I wanted to be able to give the community something new and different to hear, something that showcased a variety of local talent from the area's two most important musical genres. It has developed over the last year and 6 months; I've met some incredible people and had the chance to talk to many excellent musicians, and I don't plan on stopping. Let CJAM know you're listening and that we have your support. You can call: 519-971-3630 from Windsor, and 313-963-6112 ext 3630 (toll free) from Detroit anytime.

On a lighter note, I thought you should see this:

Minced Meat and K-Fresh bring a retrospective of J Dilla.


Head to Shine On at TV Bar this Tuesday, February 10th for the most celebrated Hip Hop events to happen in Detroit. The best live DJ's, emcees, producers and a classic lineup. Maybe House Shoes will bring material from his latest project The King James Version.

And as a prelude to some of the music you may hear on Tuesday, Minced Meat broadcasts live once again this Sunday at 12AM on CJAM 91.5FM (www.cjam.ca). K-FRESH, the man behind the famed Renaissance Soul, is back with his immeasurable knowledge and taste and we're going to try to illustrate for you a catalogue of J Dilla's music. K-Fresh dedicated his website (click his name) to J Dilla's legacy and we're going to fill you in on some local musical history about him as best we chronologically can, the beginning to the present, the whole magilla. We'll talk about his many collabs, projects and releases, in the form of a tribute and recognition for the 3rd anniversary of the passing of this producer virtuoso, responsible for inspiring an entire generation of musicians and moving listeners.

Update! K-Fresh and I got together and put together a track list. Be prepared to learn something new about Dilla.

DID YOU KNOW: K-Fresh is responsible for providing Stones Throw Records' website with the complete chronological discography, production credits and collaborations of J Dilla's work. I couldn't ask for a better guest host to tell you about one of the most prolific artists of recent times.

Minced Meat

Heya
For my first blog I would like to say that, in line with the nature of my radio show, Minced Meat, this is a free-form blog that will engage a dialogue between hip hop and electronica music. Vegetarian Selectronics is a selection of music a little bit lighter than Minced Meat, after all, I am a vegetarian (mostly).

Expect multifarious artists, music and discussion here, and feel free to tune in on Sundays at 12am-2am on CJAM 91.f5m as well as at www.cjam.ca. If you've missed a show and would like to catch up, cjam.ca will guide u to download the last episode of Minced Meat -- just click "mp3 archives" and look for the appropriate date and time. For example, last weeks show would be "June 23, 12am" in the archives.

see ya on the choppin' block (love that term --- thanks mr. biggs!)
