The Main Ingredient - Episode February 9, 2025

 

Here is an episode of the Hip-Hop Mix Show called "the Main Ingredient" (Sunday 4PM - 6PM on CJSW 90.9 FM, Alberta / Canada) hosted by DJ Cosm. 

This episode is dedicated to Canadian indie hip-hop singles released in 1995. You can listen to some classics but also listen to some very rare tracks from groups or emcees like RTA, Zen 26, Order of Operation and Karaburan, who featured on the Q-Continuum – QC Compilation album released on tape only. Good luck to find that one !

" Calgary's own DJ Cosm has been a student of hip-hop culture from an early age. He has hosted the campus radio mixshow, The Main Ingredient (fka Mental Illness) on Cjsw 90.9 FM Calgary since 1998, and is the DJ half of the accomplished rap duo, Dragon Fli Empire. DJ/producer Cosm showcases both his golden era roots and appreciation for modern boom bap production on his latest 7” release, featuring three bangers from his CD/digital only album, "Natural Within". Cosm lends the perfect sinister mood for Daniel Son and Saipher Soze to get busy on the hard-hitting joint, "Rome". Halfcut and Ghettosocks join forces for the funky boom bap banger "Leave the Bells" with DJ Cosm providing his signature scratches. On the b-side track "All or Nothing", Cosm laces a booming break that unleashes lyrical carnage from Adam Bomb, Mercules, Fortified Mind, and Halfcut. " - courtesy of Ill Adrenaline Records
