Basstectonics Intro - The music of African Dope heals a nation

While making inroads to bridge cultural gaps, NPR still has a stodgy, middle-age feel that doesn't bring in a younger, more urban demographic. What we have here is a strong attempt at giving NPR a fresh new following with an outlet for something that drives them; music unfiltered and untouched. Unfortunately, the explosion of indie labels has caused many fantastic talents to go unheard or get lost and drowned out in MTV white noise. Websites like myspace.com have been one of the few mediums with which indie labels could share their spirit. NPR needs to take heed and see where this entry can take them.

...but where's the host?

I've listened to quite a few in this quest. People have great stories to tell. Some are easier on the ears then others. Then there are those who sound like every other NPR program/host. This one is blazing and one of the ones I would definitely support! I'm talking street team promotion. This could change the game in NPR...if you were allowed to expose more raw, vibrant, diverse music of any kind. I'm going back to listen again. Great concept all around!
All best to you~

love the track and looking forward to hearing more from you.

You gave us so little of you, and you sounded great. Good selection for us too, that does show how you think!

I believe the only immorality is doing to another that which we would not have done to ourselves.

Oooh, I really, really like this. But is it because I am starved of "World Music" here in Idaho? (That bass! That voice! I oculd listen to tons more of that.) Or am I responding to your show concept, or your voice? Honestly, I don't know. I kind of wish I got to hear a little more about you. I do, however, really like the idea of organizing a music show around music labels. Music fanatics find not only favorite artists, but favorite labels to follow, and covet everything they produce. People just learning about a particular genre of music can learn a lot from parusing a music label's catalogue. It's a winning concept.

Best of luck to you! -Elizabeth
