Urban Music from Far-East Asian Communities Worldwide!
"Beats From The East" is a weekly radio broadcast on Concordia's CJLO 1690 am, a Montreal-based University Radio station.
Every Saturday night at 10pm EST, DJ Mister Vee will be bringing you some of the best urban music (Soul, RnB, Hip-Hop, Funk, Electro, Acid Jazz, Reggae...yes, Asian-Reggae exists!) from Far-East Asian artists. You can expect to hear music sung in English, Mandarin, Cantonese, Japanese, Korean, Tagalog, and Vietnamese.
For those of you who do not live in Montreal, the show will be offered to you via live webcast. You just need to visit www.cjlo.com and run the live stream.
Seeing that the radio show is only one-hour long...I will periodically be posting up an additonal home-made podcast, called "MORE Beats From The East", which will help fill up your appetite and give you more in-depth information, in regards to the artists.
If you've never heard of MC Sniper, Kero-One, Lyrics Born, Christina Chung, Paul Kim, Notorious MSG, Far-East Movement, Magnetic North, Roscoe Umali, Sevenes, Snacky Chan, UPT, Hiro-A-Key, The Greater Good, Masia One, or Anonymous Twist, then SCHOOL IS IN!!!
