| Additional Information |
Excursions is the 2nd full-length release by music connoisseur and radio host, DJ Junior.
Some do it for the fame. Some do it for the money. But the very best selectors play music for the love of it. Take DJ Junior, one of Philadelphia's premiere purveyors of soulful music regardless of the genre.
"I've never wanted to be the center of attention," explains Junior, who grew up on his Jamaican parents' soca and reggae music and began collecting hip-hop and soul records at age 15. "I'm just a fan of music; I love introducing listeners to artists that they might not get a chance to hear."
Each Friday from 6 to 9 PM EST, Junior shares this passion for independent artistry on Eavesdrop, the radio show he hosts in Philadelphia. The show has been broadcast on Drexel University's WKDU - 91.7 FM for the past five years. It is available as a free podcast on Junior's web site, www.recordbreakin.com Eavesdrop has featured interviews with King Britt, Mark de Clive-Lowe, Ursula Rucker, Dwele, Lizz Fields, Platnium Pied Pipers and Jazzanova. He has also featured music by hundreds of signed and unsigned artists.
By providing a platform for those outside of the commercial loop, Eavesdrop has attracted a worldwide following of thousands, including ?uestlove, members of Bugz in the Attic, 4 Hero, Zap Mama and Benji B (BBC 1Xtra) to name a few.
But even as DJ Junior extends his reach, he remains focused on his original mission: to spread the word on good soul music.
-----
"When it comes to "tastemakers", that small but significant community of people who tell the world who to look out for, who affect the musical landscape, Junior is right up there in my top 3. Junior (Philly), Gilles Peterson (London) and Garth Trinidad (Los Angeles) share that stage for me.
His forte...eyeing new music from both emerging and established artists and formatting it, in a way you ain't heard. Junior introduces it to us long before it becomes a bleep on the larger screen...and later, that force to contend with. Recordbreakin' yup that's it."
- Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson
