Dan Digs on WNXP – Special Guest: Daz-I-Kue – July 7, 2024

Episode 11 features Daz-I-Kue live in conversation in the WNXP studio.

Every Sunday 5p-7p CT I spin a curated blend of electronic soul, leftfield indie, experimental beats, uptempo house grooves, and global sounds live from the studio.

Tune in each week for a special hand-picked mix of brand new music, classic deep cuts, guest DJ sets live in studio, and in-depth interviews with the world’s most innovative musicians.

Daz-I-Kue joined me on the show this week. We talked about the legendary Co-Op club night at Plastic People in London, what it was like to be a founding member of the West London collective Bugz In The Attic, the iconic vocals of Kate Bush, being one of the originators of broken beat, and the legacy of Dilla.
