Frequency Horizon

From India to England, this week's episode taps into some serious international energy! 57:37 - Stoked to have a Mumbaikur (resident of Mumbai, India) in the studio to give us a little Bollywood 101. 1:31:35 - I randomly happened upon a DJ Deekline show on Vancouver Island @djdeekline and I thoroughly enjoyed the result. To my surprise the drum n' bass and booty breaks legend with a pirate radio p...

57:40 - "It hasn't been an easy week" -> That's saying the least. On the one hand we had a tragedy at sea. On the other, one of our early Frequency Horizon supporters, Bill Oz passed away. It's really too bad cancer won the war with the dude the week I recorded this episode. He was the perfect Canadian. You know, drank cheep beer, watched hockey and worked at the hardware store. Just glad I got to...

20:10 - You know we bring the poetry. And you know we’re not afraid to drop news bombs on y’all. We do both with this segment — reciting poetry read out to Tuff City’s council the night before the show aired. Finally you get to understand the genius that is Chester Manbeach. 37:45 - A couple from the Northwest Territories, Magnus Andri Palsson and Caihla MacCuish, picked me up hitchhiking and were...

It was a bit chaotic for the first time this year over the weekend, although in a totally controlled fashion (that will change, and you know it). 39:23 - I speak with one dude who was smacked in the face with the difficulty of surfing, and totally loved it. A bit chaotic, but I think you'll appreciate the reality of this moment. This was part of a brief hitchhiking interlude with 27-year-old Curti...

-Ginger Slice drops by Tuff City Radio studios to hang out as we drop some drum n' bass bombs, ambient hip-hop creativity and psy-infused swagger. After all, Bryx (@bryxbryx) is headed to play Tofino for the first time, so we wanted to make sure our little resort municipality is in on the up n' up. 1:19:30 - I interview a glassblower live over the airwaves from California. Reviews: Sam Levin - Fra...

39:51 - Vancouver Islander (and former DJ on these very airwaves) Em. Ash (@emash), speaks with Drew about his new release, which was inspired in large part it turns out by blissful hours spent at Bass Coast Electronic Music and Art Festival – Bass Coast Project (@bass-c0ast) https://soundcloud.com/emash/sets/together 1:29:50 - Jamie Cowling (@lovelife2020) and Luis Silva (@lfsfsilva) "Chord Strea...

47:18 - We head to the Legion for the Tuff City Idol's 2017 finale, and even interview Hillary, the winner. 1:27:49 - Here's a clip of a fellow Aphex Twin-lover who gave me a lift across Vancouver Island, and was feelin' the ambient pioneer's new track as a brilliant sunset blanketed Kennedy Lake on the way. Reviews: Agency "Identity" @the_world_of_agency Dark Model "Saga" @modelelectronic Music f...

-Show is co-hosted by a couple wide-eyed Brits with a serious passion for cetaceans. You guys rock! Thanks for coming by the studio. Good luck on your travels :) 40:20 - It's nice to have Mayor Josie Osborne back on the program, and what better time than during Whalefest??? 49:45 - Turns out the Frequency Horizon podcast is just one degree removed from the wrath of Donald Trump. True story. Spoile...

The cool thing about living in the most gnarly and rugged rainforest in the universe is that sometimes the big boys roll through to capture some of our legit mystique. If you’re trying to give people a cinematic experience, all you really have to do is open your lens on the giant windswept trees just past the beach where the waves come to an end. That’s why I couldn’t help but take a gig as an ext...

DJ Ginger Slice (@ginga-slice) is back in Tofino while she continues to work on a bass-heavy EP. I know you can't wait for what she'll drop, and I can assure you there's some gems in there for sure. "You have to go in there with an optimistic, curious point of view -- and enjoy it," she urges music creators. 1:19:11 - We bring you some random bunny facts and talk about the Best of Tofino results f...

It's been a rare thing for me to delve into dubstep and trap territory on my show, but I figured it was at least time to embrace some of these elements -- particularly with the new release from @gjonesbass. It's music that's as spastic as Tofino weather conditions eh? Plus, we'll dial up the random inspiration voiceovers and douse you in some solid four-on-the-floor. Because -- why not? 1:20:13 -...

This was our Valentines Day special. I even threw down a freestyle.

Sixty is a big number! I was thrilled Tuff City Radio manager Cameron Dennison came by to hang out and celebrate the milestone. We figured we'd unleash 3.5 hours of awesome frequencies bathed in a true rock-n-roll ethos to the interwebs. I must warn you, it gets a bit rowdy. 0:00 - We rewind time to bring you a glimpse of the last chunk of Time Out With Dena & Friends, where you'll hear a little b...

From prairie radio to vinyl house party poetry, this Frequency Horizon episode is all over the map at the end of the road like usual~ 35:10 - Today we're going to see how frequencies are broadcast all across the Canadian prairies from a home base in rural Manitoba. And we'll have Golden West DJ and Elvis impersonator Corny Rempel (www.cornyentertainment.com/) as our guide. (https://www.goldenwestr...

Video game musings, math-rock excitement, abstract imaginings. Get down with an assortment of West Coast-flavoured tunes to blast your winter greys into next season. Only the hardcore remain. We won't let the energy die, even in hard times. So soak up this week's music-heavy show for a blast of fresh, juicy raindrops. Featuring tracks from: @threetrappedtigersofficial, Aaron Johnston, Jesse Murphy...

This week my car breaks down and I hitch with my surfboard back to Tofino~ 21:53 - I recorded a long-form conversation with Julie Walrant, a Belgian traveller, on my hitchhiking journey to Tofino. We covered the nature of freedom, our opinions on how to tap into frequencies of the universe and what stokes us out in life. The chat is broken up into three separate parts. 56:25 - Laina, our guest DJ...

We get into the digital marketing side of things, interviewing former Exclaim! and Vice Canada staffer Missy Ross about how native advertising became a thing and ask her how she's been enjoying the surfing life. [29:00] -I call my grandparents from "jail." [1:07:17] -On my way back from Courtenay I happened upon a car in the ditch on a freezing cold night. I watched travellers band together to try...

[13:09] - We'll tell you about how one Vancouver Island woman missed out on a blind date when a giant sinkhole swallowed up the highway. Join us as we take a look at the gaping chasm ourselves. [35:30] - I read a passage from a native feminist 'zine I bought in Portland. If you like it check out "Shik'is ShiHeart: My Friend, My Heart: Native American Feminist Musings by Melanie Fey and Amber McCra...

[33:10] - Ian Armstrong, aka Tin Man, came down to Vancouver Island to visit family and hunt Sasquatch. We learn about how searching for Bigfoot with his dog has provided an important avenue for personal growth. (Check him out on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCezSc35pEWR9Df6-1mjkGzQ) [56:58] - Ania Jarda reads Sarah Kane's "Crave" monologue on a trip back from Long Beach. [1:03:35] - I...

Took me awhile to put this one back together. There are some fun effects and snippets of a couple "hidden" tracks along the way. See if you can guess what they are. Erin tells us about a screenwriting workshop at 9:59. At 38:40 I head to the Remembrance Day ceremony at the Legion and end up talking to a German man who lived through WWII in Europe, and later spent time in a communist prison camp. W...

It's Episode 52, and you know what that means -> we've put a year's worth of broadcasts out into the universe! Thx for joining us on the journey. It was also the night of the US election, which made for quite an interesting podcast. [40:00] We did our best to take your mind off politics for a few minutes, as we played a segment where we interviewed Jake Fishman, the winner of an Oregonian big wave...

It's a wet one out there in Tuff City, with windswept wave plains, swell where there normally isn't any and potholes growing bigger by the second. And we've got you covered with a ton of appropriate tracks to relax your mind and keep you hunkered down warm with the ones you love... [22:30] I met an aspiring journalist named Maxim Brehme who rolled through Tofino, B.C., and he brought his desire to...

It's the big 5-oh! Can you believe we've made it to this milestone of an episode? Personally I can't wait for 52, since that will mean I've officially put together a year of broadcasts. But who doesn't like a round number like 50, right? This week we've got music from @a-tribe-called-red, @royksopp, @calyxteebee, @mob-bounce, @djshadow, @bensley, @atyya, @beauvois, @ghostly and more... 1:06:00 - I...

9:50 - I head to the United States and find a country deeply divided, struggling with sexual norms and deep seeded racism. Autumn Storm recently transitioned from male to female at 19 years of age. I felt in a way she represented what America as a whole is going through. She also helped foreshadow the turbulent weather I would soon experience on my journey. 20:42 - No trip to Portland could be com...

This show features music from: Floating Points (@floatingpoints), A Tribe Called Red (@a-tribe-called-red), Mr. Oizo (@oizo-mr-3000), Boys Noize (@boysnoize), Bjarki (@Bjarki), RZA & MF DOOM (@wu-tang-clan-official), DJ Shadow (@djshadow) 29:47 - Jeh gives us an update of the goings on of the local hip-hop scene. 47:55 - We have the radio premiere of "Waves" by Dream Fish, a Vancouver Island artis...
