AMSTERDAM IN FOCUS Episode 10 Silhouette, RAI Amsterdam

For Episode 84 of STARK REALITY, Host James Dier aka DJ $mall ¢hange rolls the tattered red carpet out to Ridgewood, Queens to interview his friend Selam aka DJ Miss Hap

Selam has been slaying it around Brooklyn and NYC for a decade; great DJ and digger who has deep crates in reggae, disco, soul, and a number of genres. And of course has excellent politics which is why she has been someone he's wanted to interview for a min now. They talk about a number of tings, DJing in NYC these days, working at a record shop (shouts to Record City in BK), ICE arrests, Palestine, the worthless Democratic Party aka controlled opposition, some favorite records like the Love Joys LP on Wackies, etc etc.

Slight delay getting this out since it was recorded on Oct 20th of 2025 so apologies for that. An excellent conversation though so hope you enjoy - cheers!

STARK REALITY Episode 84 Guest DJ MISS HAP aka SELAM

Episode 8 of INSPIRATION/INFORMATION finds Host Imran Mirza of BlueInGreen Radio in conversation with London-based guitarist, composer, producer and band leader GREG SANDERS.  Having helmed two full-length releases from his new quartet, Lophae (“lo-fi”), as well as having produced Holly Holden’s ‘al andar’ album, 2025 proved to be an exceptionally busy and successful year for Greg.  Having established his phenomenal credentials via expansive jazz ensemble Teotima and their two scintillating full-lengths ('Counting the Ways' and 'Weightless'), Sanders has continued to amass acclaim as a key collaborator for vocalist Juanita Euka, Jonny Wickham and Billy Marrows, amongst a litany of other artists.  His penchant for Latin-infused contemporary jazz has yielded some sensational projects which now trickles down to the incredible Lophae albums in ‘Perfect Strangers’ and ‘Imagine More’.

In line with our typical three-question Inspiration/Information format, we have some excellent discussion points for this episode as we delve into Greg’s first concert experience, discuss the song he wishes he had written and fully unpack which three artists would comprise his dream band.

To explore music from Lophae, please visit the band’s Bandcamp page www.lophae.bandcamp.com

For Episode 83 of STARK REALITY, Host James Dier aka DJ $mall ¢hange presents a special edition and keeps it semi local to roll the tattered red carpet out to NYC for a 2nd conversation with radio veteran, promoter and activist REGGIE JOHNSON. This episode is part of a promo for an event that Jim and Reggie are throwing January 24th at Starr Bar in Brooklyn, a benefit for Electronic Intifada. They of course talk about a range of topics, Palestine, the important role of independent journalism since corp media is propaganda, recent bs with Venezuela, David Mancuso and his ethos with the Loft parties, the great work Electronic Intifada has done covering this genocide, and much more. 

You can find info for the January 24th event and tickets here: https://posh.vip/e/intifada-is-freedom-a-benefit-for-electronic-intifada 

REGGIE JOHNSON is a pro audio engineer, radio show host, party promoter and all around good ppls. He's been working as an engineer behind the boards at WBAI Pacifica for a few decades, and co-hosting Jeanie Hopper's Liquid Sound Lounge since '98. His own radio show From the Soundboard has been running since 2007, a 'program that usually focuses on concerts regardless of genre. This is where the artist and (or) group perfects the art of the "call and response" with its audience.' He does great deep dives on all kinds of artists and groups like Gal Costa, Link Wray, Yusef Lateef, Paul Robeson, Ramsey Lewis and many others. He's also helped promote parties since 1998 and has a longtime summer thing called Beats & BBQ. In his own words, he's 'just an average individual who believes in Socialist principles through music, arts and action. Everything is connected to everything.'
