Artist Interviews The Hood Internet
Two Chicago DJ’s you may have heard of who roll by the name The Hood Internet have been working hard at the art and science of the mash-up, spinning party music since 2007. The Hood Internet are constantly publishing their mixes on the real Internet, but are taking a more organic, in-studio approach for their albums. In this exclusive CHIRP podcast, the group talks to CHIRP Radio’s Justin Savage about the difference between playing shows around the world, or just around the block.

Artist Interviews Wire
Since 1977, Wire has been reinventing its sound through experimentation – even though they emerged out of the British punk scene, they always resisted categorization. In 2002, they started their own record and distribution label and have continued their evolution towards elder pioneers that are still restless and curious.
In the following interview, CHIRP DJ Erik Roldan sat down with Wire’s lead singer Colin Newman to talk about their history, their future and what makes them so special.
