The Entroporium

This week’s episode celebrates the shared birthday of two American originals with pretty darn awesome hair: Amihr “?uestlove” Thompson and filmmaker-musician-painter-webmaster-iconoclast David Lynch.

In the first hour, I showcase great hip-hop and R&B from The Roots. Stay tuned for the second hour when I hit the reset button and feature music from the films, works and weird worlds of David Lynch.

With no true mainstream radio smashes since 1993 and literally hundreds of records in the Wu-Tang catalog, you need an expert to know where to begin. DJ Bass 77 of The Bass-ment takes us through the history of the Wu, the influential production style of its sound leader The RZA, introduced us to a few of the strong personalities in the group and their solo work, and gives his personal view on where to start digging.

Turn down the lights, open a window, let the cold wind blow in, put the children to bed, and get under the sheets… This episode of The Entroporium contains two hours of the most terrifying music you will ever hear. Perfect for scaring the bejeesus out of your neighborhood trick-or-treaters.

Upon its release in 1983, Duck Rock’s distillation of Soweto, South Bronx and proto-electronica sounded like nothing on earth and everything on it at the same time.
