AMSTERDAM IN FOCUS Episode 11 Blackfriars Bridge (AIF goes to London)

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.'

STARK REALITY Episode 83 Guest REGGIE JOHNSON Returns, for "Electric Intifada" Benefit

For Episode 82 of STARK REALITY PLAYLISTS, Host James Dier aka DJ $mall ¢hange re-rolls out the tattered red carpet for another exclusive mix from GEOFFREY WILSON aka DJ REVEREND ROBERT SINEWAVE. This time around, live & direct from New Orleans, Geoffrey goes deep into spirit jazz and avant vibes with some classics and deep cuts from folks like Alice Coltrane, Pharoah Sanders, Albert Ayler, Horace Tapscott, Art Ensemble of Chicago, Joe Henderson, Marion Brown, etc etc - 2 1/2 hours of proper head soundz.

Having spent close to a decade working in the International House Hotel in New Orleans, Ocotillo in Phoenix, and Multnomah Whiskey Library in Portland, OR, Geoffrey has honed his skill and earned the honor of Best Bartender in Chicago in 2008 and Phoenix in 2014. In addition to this, he's made fancy cocktail ice in Portland, has an extensive record collection (duh) and now semi-retired in New Orleans, although he does keep busy consulting and working on various projects for folks. If you find yourself in the area, be sure to follow his Instagram @rev_robertsinewave and join in the fun. Ask him about his purple Chucks.

To hear the all new STARK REALITY Interview with Jim and Rev Robert, recorded November 3rd, 2025, go to Episode 81 of STARK REALITY, where they go deep into a number of things happening politically plus music and cocktail sidebars as to be expected.

Since our last conversation several years ago (hard to believe, time flies) which you can hear on Episode 10 of STARK REALITY with Host James Dier aka DJ $mall ¢hange, Geoffrey has escaped from White Wakanda (aka Portland) and moved to NOLA. 

Go to Episode 11 of STARK REALITY to hear Geoffrey's first exclusive playlist for us, when the conversation fell around 4/20 and inspired an all weed-flavored mix including deep funk, classic rock, soul, jazz, world, reggae and '80s and '90s hip-hop, along with a few surprises...
