Episode Description

This week on Hey Elgin!!, we turn up the bass with the one and only DJ RJ! As a producer running the Music4Life label and a veteran voice on KAZI 88.7 FM, RJ brings a wealth of musical knowledge to the studio.

We pull back the curtain on his "hidden gem" recording studio right here in Elgin—a sanctuary for Reggae, Dub, Jungle, and Funk. Nick and RJ go deep into the art of the collaboration, discussing the global influence of Drum & Bass and what it takes to produce soulful tracks in a small town. To wrap things up, we find out which classic hits define RJ’s sound and, of course, we take our weekly detour into the strange, debating the weird conspiracy theories that keep us looking twice at the shadows.
