Can You Dig It is a radio show in Melbourne on the world famous 3RRR-FM or Triple R-FM located at 102.7 mhz on your radio dial. On the net you can catch us at rrr.org.au broadcasting every Saturday afternoon from 4.00 - 6.00pm Melb time. We dig guitars but like drums even more - starting at the foundation laid by the masters Clyde Stubblefield and Jabo Starks through to cats who know how to keep the funk alive and real in the new millen. Too many to mention right here but check the playlists to see where we're coming from. Err, like when I get 'em up...
Some of the live guests and pre-recorded interviews on the show have included Kurtis Blow, Grandmaster Flash, Steinski, Kool Keith, Tha Alkaholiks, David Axelrod, Lee Fields, Chuck D, Ugly Duckling, Philip from Soulfire Records, Rob Swift, Kumasta Kurt, Motion Man, Johnny Idem, Spikey Tee, Dj Ransom and Raph Crookneck.
Also had the pleasue of putting together and promoting some gigs with Gangstarr, Steinski, Grandmaster Flash, Sly & Robbie, DJ Revolution, Edan, People Under The Stairs, Afrika Bambaata & Alien Ness, Sharon Jones & The Dapkings, Grandmaster Roc Raida (the nicest guy in hiphop) and DJ Cash Money.
All frends on this page are either artists who get airplay on the program or plain ol' friends on the local scene so check it and get the low on where I'm coming from. Peace and chicken grease!
