pgroove Posted January 5 Report Share Posted January 5 Gotta give some props to KOU. On a rare occasion WKCR will have and decent DnB set late nights. There is also a station up in Westchester somewhere that plays a lot of sets at night. For the most part, there are no decent techno stations.

zeeker Posted January 5 Report Share Posted January 5 Originally posted by danwilson I dont think there's ever been a station that plays trance, house and dance mixes in NY. KTU plays it at night on Friday and Saturday night. yeah, coming home from the city on Friday I put on KTU and they had Oakenfold on. I mean, it's Oakenfold, but it was still kind of refreshing.

Theres no way that Paul Oakenfold records a set and gives it to KTU every week...its probably some local DJ that puts together a set and mails it in to KTU...Using the name Paul Oakenfold is what makes people listen to it...think about it...theres a Paul Oakenfold show on Party 93.1 on Fridays and a show called State Side on Galaxy 105 in the UK on Saturdays...if u think a guy as busy as Mr Oakenfold is putting sets together every week ur outta ur mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djwrecknyc Posted January 5 Report Share Posted January 5 Solid State w/ Liquid Todd on KROC every sat late nite. enuff said...the guys at konkrete jungle also hold a radio show in the city on mondays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berniec Posted January 5 Report Share Posted January 5 I wouldnt be surprised if the set on 93.1 and KTU were the same. Okenfold has a music distribution company that radio stations go through to get his mixes. They mail out a CD to the affiliate stations each week and are the ones that make sure that only one station in each market his the 'rights' to his mix's, etc.I'm sure that Okenfold is getting paid a very nice sum of money to lay down a set for these stations, so i'm sure he's more then willing to make time bern Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now whether or not Paul is spinning is another story, who knows he might have some other DJ do it for him, but that is how it works and how he is everywhere all at once. Lots of DJ's do this for national mixshows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of DJ's do this for national mixshows. Exactly the point that I was trying to make. This works the same for any nationally syndicated program- take something like Casey Casem's Top 40- the number one song (and the other 39) are all the same in all 50 states across the country.There are often VERY specific rules that go along with these programs as well, some distribution companies make you sign a form that says you will air the show only once and they destroy the disk it came on, and others give you a prepaid envelope to mail the CD back to them to make sure that the show does not get in the 'wrong hands'bern Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xpander Posted January 6 Report Share Posted January 6 Originally posted by codica3 Radio 1 is no joke. Actually, if you look at it from a programming aspect, Radio 1 is no different from most radio stations here in the states. The real difference is that the taste of the general UK population when it comes to dance music is a lot more "refined". Quite honestly, it's all about capturing that target market (females, age range between 18-35 I believe, in KTU's case). When we see the tastes of the market improve, the quality of the music played on the stations will improve as well, ideally. But considering the way that the music industry fuctions and the music listening public being who they are, I'm not holding my breath.

danihawk Posted January 6 Report Share Posted January 6 djxeno you are so right...after listening to Philly radio for my whole I life I thought I'd died and gone to heaven when I heard KTU! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djxeno Posted January 6 Report Share Posted January 6 LOL tell me about it! I was like wow, house music on the radio! and even freestyle!Remember the days when Q102 use to broadcast live from Egypt and the Warehouse, you could hear some quality house music with Jeff Rice and Chuck Addis. ALL they have now is corny ass Richie Rich playing a fuckin DAT or the same songs you hear during the day. It pisses me off. I use to listen to Hex Hector and Robbie Tronco's sets when they use to come on the radio. And this wasn't even that long ago, they use to do this up until about '99 or '00 then they just stopped.Maybe I'll come out with my own radio station one day in PHILLY and it will be all house music 24/7 !Peace,-XeNo- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocksteadyct Posted January 6 Report Share Posted January 6 I've heard a lot of good things about XM, if you really want radio - its a serious choice, my homie maa bell has a show in rotation on it, and they have REAL underground music, there programming directors know what they are doing...they have mainstream as well, but theres something for everyone!Personally Soulseek is the only radio i need, and as soon as i get a new deck that will play mp3 CDRW's i dont think my radio will ever go on again! (unless it has XM installed!)and what ever happend to robbie tronco? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djxeno Posted January 6 Report Share Posted January 6 He's still down here in Philly. He spins weekly on Friday nights at Chrome and Sat nights at Evolution. He's also spins at Shampoo.What do you mean what happened to him?-XeNo- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This station really is quite good for mainstream dance...If it's signal reached NY it would surely blow away KTU...However, their signal is notoriously weak:( .

danihawk Posted January 6 Report Share Posted January 6 djxeno- I thought I was the only person that remembered "the old Q102"! I was so sad when the switched to the format that about 10 other stations in Philly use It is so funny that you mentioned Chuck Addis b/c I just posted about him on the Philly board. Where is he?! I used to go to Shampoo and Egypt just to hear him, but I haven't heard anything about him in months. Holla if you know what's up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djxeno Posted January 6 Report Share Posted January 6 I don't know what's up with him. But yeah he use to be the resident at Egypt and he doesn't spin as much as he use too. I know he's married so maybe he just settled down. Who knows...I sure as hell do miss the old Q tho......Peace,-XeNo- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
