Imagine playing as a young child and discovering your parent's record collection in the basement. You open a dusty box and find a record player. You pick up one of the vinyl discs and read the psychedelic cover..."Creative Source"...hummmm. Looks interesting. You remove the record and gently place the disc on the old wooden turntable with built-in speakers. "Who is He....What is He to You!!" blares from the speaker. Your life is forever changed. You see another album cover... John Coltrane... "Afro Blue". The disc is as thick as a dinner plate. You handle this one more gently then the other. This sound is different but you are put in a trance by the smooth melodies of that horn. Your goal in life is now to own EVERY recording in the world. You are transformed into a vinyl junkie.
As you evolve into a teen, you become consumed with jazz and rhythm and blues. Then you witness and participate in the birth of hip-hop, Go-Go, New Wave...and House music. This musical evolution is what Basement Soul Radio represents. Take this 'feeling' and join your host and guide, LaMont "DJ X-Treme!" Carson, on a daily funky expedition right here at BasementSoul.com.
