So, before I post episode 40 - the non-stop trance mix (have you bought your glowsticks yet? :P) I was listening to DJ Choboo on the SRC @OMGKpop where she played a request for 1TYM’s Hot Duhgo, an old skool K-Hip hop track.
When I first started w. the SRC I somehow volunteered myself to mix one of our dj’s at the time, DJ CeeJay’s fan rendition of that song. She had written this entire rap in English and it was soo good I felt the mix she gave it didn’t do the song the justice. Me, I actually know VERY little about music production, I don’t play an instrument and only got to Level 2 in piano. I just know what sounds good and flows and I guess I got rhythm. I figured I should try and see what I can come up with in my limited knowledge of actual music production.
Anyways, this is what I ended up with:
There are bits of my voice in the background here and there, but it’s pretty much all Ceejay’s voice layered at different pitches. It’s really too bad there isn’t a clean instrumental of the track or else the sound would’ve been much clearer, but it works.
As promised here is the 2nd of 3 episodes of POP 88.
This one plays your requests and talks a wee bit about the Olympics.

As promised here is the first of 3 new episodes to make up for my getting busy/ coming down with pneumonia.
It was a slight challenge getting a hold of Director Lixin Fan. After all, his prestigious award-winning documentary film LAST TRAIN HOME had him being invited to festivals left, right and center. Not bad for a Canadian film and a debut feature for this young director from China.
The podcast is of course the edited, film focused version, but I’ll make the entire Skype interview (a full 30+ mins.) available should people be interested. We went more into depth about the Zhang family as well as freedom of expression and censorship while working within China. And then we also talked about food and his thoughts upon landing in Toronto (Scarborough) when he first came.

For those who haven’t been listening to my sessions over at OMGKPOP, I’m recovering from pneumonia whilst also waiting to secure an interview with Director Lixin Fan w. his new film Last Train Home.
And because I’ve been absent for so long, I’ll be releasing not 1 but 3 episodes at the same time. Be sure to download all of them!
This podcast comes just like Xmas shopping - at the very last minute - but thankfully I waited as long as I did because I was able to get some really great tracks to share with you this winter season!

OK - apparently both don’t show up when you put it in the same post … so since some of you have Part 1, here’s Part 2.
