Stones Throw Tribute

On this upcoming ECLECTRICITY, DJ Solespin is paying tribute to the artists and label of Stones Throw. Stones Throw has proven to be a label upholding the traditional values of hip hop and producing innovating music.  That is a winning combination for CJLO's Eclectricity.  From the work of Madlib, Peanut Butter Wolf, J Dilla to Oh No, expect the unexpected from this dynamic tribute.

Name News

The title and author give a hint as to what's going on with Eclectricity. For the longest time, I've used A-Dubs for my show personality name.  It did the job, but over time I was thinking I would change it because it didn't fit me right anymore.  This year alone, I've been in the lab thinking of the master DJ name and after some brainstorming I decided to go with DJ Solespin, a name that suits me in more ways than one.  The play on words is obvious.  Soul & sole sound alike, but have different meanings. I grew up listening to soul music and since hosting a radio show, I have mentioned a one-spin-of-a-track policy.  I'll play the hell out of an artist's work, but never the same song.  Anyone that knows me knows I love to spin and for a long time.  I figure this new name should stick for a while.
Get used to it because I sure have to!

Hysteria!

It was months in the making, but the time has finally arrived! In celebration of Spring and Aries, it's going to be old school all month long in March. A lot of new music has been spun this year and now it's time to go to the heart of the matter. The focus will be on very early 90s hip hop for the first few shows of the month. To kick things off, A-Dubs is paying tribute to the L.A. record label on the March 2 show. Delicious Vinyl has been in the hip hop game for an incredible 20 years! It is one of California's first independent hip hop record labels. Before there was a Stones Throw, there was Delicious Vinyl giving the world ground breaking hip hop music like Tone Loc's "Wild Thing" as early as 1989. March 2 Delicious Vinyl (L.A. Hip Hop Tribute)March 9 How About Some Hardcore (Not for cowardly hearts)March 16 & 23 East Coast StompMarch 30 A-Dubs Birthday Party 2008Not to be missed at all!!
