This site is a record of my indie university radio thing.
Radio Slipstream broadcast in various timeslots on 93.3 CFMU — McMaster's campus station from 2004-2007, then continued as increasingly sporadic self-released episodes/mixes. history.
January 2022: It's been years since anything has happened here, but I've been tinkering away at playlists for a while and I'm now posting them here via Spotify playlists under “The Slip”, because radio is dead and streaming is redundant. All the lists combined.
For flushing the system out.
Maybe that's what all music is about.

A conflagration of several works in progress involving music relating to black identity (and a few ahem bangers). Maybe it's the coda to the never-completed history of hip hop series (which can never happen on Spotify/streaming due to the lack of availability of some pretty important artists).
Starts off jazzy and bouncy and femme (1-3), moves into politics (4-6) and pop (-9) before some straight ass kicking (11-13) back to hard politics and then jazz (14-19).
