The feast is almost here! It won't be ham hock and artichokes though.

The feast is almost here! It won't be a ham hock and artichokes though. Sorry.

I had to push back the release of “digitalflood Pirate Radio Volume 5 Episode 3 – The 2009 Beat Feast” to tomorrow (12/6/09). The actual live mixtape session is all recorded and finalized. I’m putting on the final post-production touches. The overall mix is heavy on hip hop, but you will find some classic gems and even a metal song or two thrown in for fun. Total run time is over one and half hours of absolute non-stop music. My right arm was pretty fatigued after the DJ mixing portion of the session and I had to give up after a half hour of post-production work (putting me at about 65% complete). I’m feeling better though today and should be able to bang out the final mix by tomorrow afternoon at the latest. Keep your eyes peeled for it!

Also, I joined the Hot97 forum called “Who’s Next Online?“. Hot97 is a radio station (WQHT – 92.3 FM) out of New York City known for its mainstay presence in the East Coast (and worldwide) hip hop and rap scene. It’s arguably the center of the music scene for the urban Northeast US scene and my personal favorite radio station. You can find our profile (which has been pursued by a about twelve people at this point) at: http://www.whosnextonline.com/Artist.aspx?ID=11953

You’ll be able to find that link listed on our Beyond DF.com page as well.
