Denzel takes over the late morning hours to liven up your Thursdays with an eclectic set of tunes accompanied by some stellar chat and good nostalgic vibrations as he delves into video game soundtrack history to bring everyone’s favorite radio spot ‘video game soundtrack gems.'
P.S. For the person that texted in (and for anyone else wanting to just check it out) regarding getting the video game soundtrack gem in it's own little podcast, the segment is always at 11am just after the news, so should be at around 1 hour into the podcast.
It was an absolute pleasure hoppin' off the substitute bench to fill in for Denzel this week. Rolled out some older Deerhunter, The Snails, MF DOOM and Dum Dum Girls. Some new cuts from Avantdale Bowling Club, BUB, and hanbee feature. We had a spring themed string of tracks and the remix of the day went to a beautiful Phil Tangent remix.
