This Is SPANK ROCK!

In honor of the newly released, debut album "YoYoYo..." from Spank Rock, I will be playing "this is SPANK ROCK." (aka "Voila!") in its entirety this Friday, April 28th. You'll hear many tracks from "YoYoYo..." expertly mixed by Christopher Rockswell and XXXchange with everything from Suzanne Vega to Missy Elliott to Jimi Hendrix. I realize that about one-fourth of this mix has already been played on the show, but that really doesn't matter and I don't care if you want something else. You want to know why?

a) This is my show!
b) This is Spank Rock!
c) This is an application to get your own show!

The second hour is still up for grabs. Either leave a comment on this post or send an e-mail to kruitronics(at)gmail(dot)com with any suggestions.

The Philosophy of Time Travel

The man they call DJ Samlive will be showcasing his craftsmanship this saturday on 89.7 KRUI from 9 PM to 11 PM with his latest work: The Philosophy of Time Travel.

Donnie Darko + Samlive = Aural Pleasure

Back with more info soon.

KRUI Wants Your (Friend's) Mixes!

This is an invitation to all DJs, friends of DJs, and people aware of people called "DJs" to contact me regarding any mixing you think should be featured on Hooked on 'Tronics. I've been in contact with some artists I have featured on the show:

Buddy Peace
The Marcia Blaine School for Girls (Production Unit, The Village Orchestra, etc)
Panzah Zandahz
ZILLA
DJ Ayres
Cosmo Baker
and maybe more that I don't remember right now

Anyway, the point is that there are many quality mixes out there that are waiting to be found and aired for the masses (aka my mom plus a few random listeners). Let those people know that there is a radio show playing mixes by people ranging from the under-represented hermit "bedroom DJs" to the world-renowned, egomaniacal DJs. It's all about variety, and sometimes I either don't have time for endless discovery or I am just too lazy to sniff out the latest and updatest (unlike my man Sid and his Hip-Hop Amaza Show).

Here's the contact info:
e-mail: kruitronics@gmail.com
AIM, Yahoo instant messaging: KRUItronics
MSN instant messaging: kruitronics@gmail.com
KRUI phoneline (to call during the show): 319-335-8970

If you like some of the artists I have featured, let them know. Most of the links on this site have their contact info. Also, tell your friends about the show, because you know they'll love it.
