Geek Chic DJ's' Podcast

So, i took the week and actually listened to the radio. Mostly because I rarely do and sometimes you need to get in touch with what's popular. I still like spinning the smooth soulful sheit but I also like dancing with ladies as well. This is a nice grab bag of dance able tunes old, new, and forgotten. Enjoy!

Welcome everybody to the Season 2 Soundtrack Mixed by GeekChic DJ Cam and curated by Duane of The Maroon Cafe. Artists include Meek Mill, The Roots, Nas, Adele, Childish Gambino, James Blake, and Theophilus London. So enjoy and tell a friend!

Living in NYC, you rarely hear that “Khaki and House shoes” music aka G-funk that was popular in the late 90s. But as an avid listener of KDAY in LA, they bump Dre, 2pac, Snoop, and Tha Dogg Pound all the time! So I am joining in the fun and adding my own faves to the mix. Enjoy!

I used to work at an indie movie theater/cafe in Downtown San Jose during college. It was an eclectic mix of artists, designers, writers, budding film makers, and musicians. Besides the random films we showed, we were allowed to play whatever CD’s (yea I said CD’s) we wanted. So I would make CD mixes of songs, give them themes, and play them in the cafe. One of the more popular ones were my “Hip-Hop Luv” mixes. Basically, R&B song’s with rappers on it or rap songs talking about women. Either way, they were a good reflection of what I would of listened to in my car, if I had one. That is the inspiration for this latest mix, enjoy and tell a friend.

The radio was a big part of my music experience in my college years. Listening to Bay Area guys likeDJ Scotty Fox, Mind Motion, Rick Lee, and my dj crew homies DJ Sid Vicious, Osco, and DJ Prodijay rock parties large and small. It was a fun time and I would look forward to the mixing at noon or on holidays or afterwork. That was when I enjoyed the radio when Clipse, Joe Buddens, and Redman would be played with J.Lo, Diddy and Total and nobody cared. Aw fun times, well here is a small slice of that experience. Happy Holidays! GeekChic got somethng for you in 2012!

When I came to NYC, one of my main goals was to learn how to house dance. I thought I knew when I came here but in about 5 minutes at my first house club I got schooled real quick! That was six years ago and I am still learning new moves and grooves even now. I also got more into the music and the various soulful sounds. Just that soft warm fun feeling of a good track. Either way, house is all about the music and I will never forget that that. - DJ Cam
