I was lucky enough to be a college radio DJ from the mid 80s to early 90s (university & grad school). I miss the deep dives in music I could take then. The deep dives and stems you take me on are unique. I always learn something new, even from songs I have listened to 100s of times and you made me appreciate songs that had been blind spots for me. Thank you!
Honestly a goated show. As a 15 year old up and coming producer, this podcast gives incredible insight into the recording of so many iconic songs by listening to the stems. Along with the boys knowledgefull commentary, there’s nothing negative about this podcast.
I’ve only actually listened to the London Calling episode right now but it’s the best podcast I’ve ever heard.
My favorite thing about the show is how easily Diallo & Luxxury move between genres (from heavy metal to hip hop to reggae) and the fact that they have the same earnest enthusiasm for each.
