OK, so now they’ve made a liar out of me (and CityonmyBack.com) when we both said last week’s ‘Mixtape Massacre’ show on the soon-to-be-defunct (?) community radio station, CKLN was their final broadcast, but that’s what they said during the show. Glad I was wrong though! Read on for a press release from DJ Musiklee Inzane about what they have in store for today’s show starting at 1PM EST which looks like it could be kind of monumental and a more-then-appropriate way to bow out (which also heeds my advice) if it does turn out to be their final show ever:
“Since the ‘Fantastic Voyage’ show launched on CKLN 88.1FM in the early 1980s, hosted by Ron Nelson, Saturday afternoons in Toronto have never been the same. ‘Mixtape Massacre,’ the show that has filled the popular 1 – 4pm slot on CKLN 88.1FM for almost 7 years, will pay homage to the heavy-hitters that laid the foundation for hip hop in Toronto, in what may be its last broadcast this Saturday February 12th. DJ Big Jacks and Linx, alongside host Seven:30 have reached out to predecessors and pioneers ‘The Real Frequency’ (Musiklee Inzane, P-Plus and Arcee), and DJ X of ‘The PowerMove Show’ to be a part of this Saturday’s broadcast. ‘Mixtape Massacre’ has also reached out to Ron Nelson, an iconic figure in Toronto Hip Hop, to be a part of the broadcast. Each guest will present 1 full hour dedicated to the era they represented in hip hop over the past 20+ years.
In the early 1980s, Toronto hip hop was in its infancy, but it took the drive of Ron Nelson, who not only volunteered on the airwaves to introduce rap music to the city via the ‘Fantastic Voyage’ show, but also as a promoter, bringing several acts from New York to Toronto. DJ X of the ‘PowerMove Show’ followed suit throughout the mid-to-late 90s, influencing another generation fans, and introducing them to freestyle segments like Eat the Beat, and events such as Live @ The BBQ. The ‘Real Frequency’ inherited the spot after leaving their longtime home at CHRY 105.5FM in 2001. The move proved to be a wise one, as they were scooped up by FLOW 93.5 to become the first underground show to be represented on commercial radio. ‘Mixtape Massacre,’ who’ve been the programmers of the coveted Saturday afternoon spot since 2004, earned it in a contest, voted on by the public.
Although CKLN is currently in a battle to continue broadcasting following the loss of its license by the CRTC on January 28th, all programmers remain hopeful and have been going all out to prove why CKLN is a valuable asset to the community. If anything, the mood has been celebratory of all the successes the station has been a part of for almost 30 years. This Saturday will prove to be no different. Other invited guests include SCAM, Cyclone, Supreme, Jemeni, and the legendary lyricist Michie Mee, who have all played an integral role in one, or all of the shows over the years.
To be a part of this monumental moment in radio history, tune in on Saturday February 12th, 1-4pm on CKLN 88.1FM if in the GTA area, or listen online at www.ckln.fm.”
[UPDATE: from listening to the show, it sounds like CKLN has been given a stay of execution. Somebody driving this ‘Save CKLN Radio’ train PLEASE set up a Facebook page so people can keep up with what’s going on. If one Google exec can overthrow a 30 year long, dictatorship in the Middle East with a Facebook page, this shouldn’t be that hard to do.]
