This afternoon, I was heading back from the Swansea Sal's, where I picked up a copy of Spectacular Space Hits by the Odyssey Orchestra, MC Hammer's 1st album from '88, and a 12" released by Jive Electro in '99 with Bad Boy Bill and Doc Martin doing remixes of Tribe and Kool Moe Dee tracks.
Anyway, I turned on the radio and heard a really rockin' jam fading out. The DJ piped up, said we were listening to Cosmik Radio, and next up, we should "get ready for Lady." Then the track kicked in, and I was feeling it big time.
Lady are a duo featuring former Missy Elliott protege Nicole Wray and UK singer Terri Walker, who met in New York. Their self-titled, full-length debut dropped on Brooklyn-based Truth & Soul Records back in March.
Turns out Cosmik Radio has been on the airwaves for eight whole years, during which time DJ Cosmik has served up heaping helpings of funky goodness for her listeners. A stew of "soulful r&b, hip hop and urban music that is mostly underground or unreleased, as well as incorporating some more popular artists," according to the show's official bio.
DJ Cosmik is also an artist and producer who's apparently toured with Doodlebug from the Digables. And not too long ago she interviewed Devin the Dude!
The cosmik consciousness must be spreading, 'cuz now the show's on two other local stations (WBSR and The Buzz 96.7 FM) besides broadcasting Tuesdays from 1-3 pm on WRIU! That's positive. Now that we know the score, we'll definitely be tunin' in...
