For EYE ON THE EAST VILLAGE Episode 12, Co-Hosts Alex Carpenter & Maegan Hayward of the East Village Vintage Collective  sit down with our special guests from The Lower East Side Girls Club, Studio Director KELLY WEBB aka DJ Baby K, and Girls Club Alum DJ SLID3.  Recorded live at Hi-Note Radio/Bar at 188 Avenue B.

Kelly talks about the Studio Program, and the history of the amazing LESGC, and Slid3, now a working DJ around town, talks about how the organization made her the confident and accomplished young woman she is today.  They also get into how they originally got involved with LESGC, how and why they inspire young women and gender-expansive youth in the community, the important work the organization continues to do, plus first hand success stories from DJ Slid3, including how the music and DJ programs, specifically, kept her out of trouble.  Plus they each give their own hilarious perspectives on memorable Club visit from Michelle Obama, Simone Biles and much more!

In addition to her full-time work at the Girls Club, Kelly is a veteran radio host and DJ, still killing it with her long-running WBAI-FM show "The Sweet Spot," every Saturday, from 10pm to Midnight.  You can also listen to the sensational exclusive mix she created for the jasoncharles.net Music Channel series BASS HEAVY here, or wherever you get your music podcasts.  Follow DJ Slid3's upcoming appearances and DJ gigs on her Instagram @_slid_3/.

RANGE MUSIC MONTHLY Episode 14 Fall '24 Global House 12's and 7's Part ONE

For Episode 7 of JAMMING BY A THREAD, with Stu still on extended break down under, co-Host Ben Allen aka The Loop Professor, holds it down for a new tune-for-tune ping-pong set with his fellow on-air deejay from WMPG, DJ COMRADE.  WMPG is one of the finest community/free-from radio stations in the country, operating at 90.9 FM Portland/Gorham, at the University of Southern Maine, and of course streaming on www.wmpg.org

Over two decades as both a local gigging musician and DJ at WMPG, Eric aka DJ COMRADE currently he can be heard every other Friday from 5:30 - 7pm (and streamed from the archives any time) spinning records on his show, "Foot On The Rock." Eric believes in the deep power of 70's funk, soul, and jazz (and disco), to spread love, solidarity, and community through the mystical rhythm of the one. Each set, whether live or on the radio, is curated to be a musical journey that leaves his audience feeling stronger of spirit...or, you know, at least get a toe or two tapping in friendly camaraderie."

Ben and Eric get down for this one-hour tag-team set of deep mostly-'70s gritty funk and funky jazz-fusion, with a couple of retro-modern grooves thrown in for good measure, featuring tracks from Patrice Rushen, Bill Withers, Esther Phillips, Ray Barretto, Les Imprimes, Isaac Hayes and much more!

BEN aka “The Loop Professor," is one of the rotating hosts of the long-running and award-winning SOUL MATES show on WMPG 90.9 Portland, ME and online at wmpg.org, offering up a cross section of Soul, Blues & R&B flavors – from stone cold classics to the very latest releases, playing the kind of soul-inspired sounds you just don’t get to hear anywhere else.  Yes mate! Continuing a rich multi-generational tradition at WMPG…Listen LIVE Wednesdays 8:30pm to 10pm Eastern, and anytime after on www.wmpg.org  As The Loop Professor, Ben and super-producer/UK hip-hop royalty Jonny Cuba were the creative team behind the fantastic ‘90s Ninja Tune hip-hop duo DYNAMIC SYNCOPATION.  Their two releases on the legendary label still represent some of the finest UK hip-hop production to ever come out of London.  Vinyl junkie supreme Stuart “Stu” Rogers is a Sydney native and international festival booker and longtime broadcasting vet.  Lifelong professional cratediggers and partners in DJ crime, Ben and Stu will be back together soon and finer than ever...ping-ponging tracks and JAMMING BY A THREAD!
