Kali Yuga's Mediafire account was shut down, so all of his posts with Mediafire links are down and WON'T BE REUPPED! At least anytime soon. All other download links still work (such as all radio posts).
Five years ago our bi-weekly show started on Bassoradio and has been running non-stop since. All shows are available on this blog.
To celebrate this, like before, we've invited some rappers to perform live. But this time the line-up is gathered with a new vision. This time it's about us. This time we appear as a group who you might see together on stage one day. Not everyone can make it tonight though, but with this group it'll certainly be another epic anniversary.
So the lineup tonight will be SLTF / Iwere / Moonlit / Flyer / SQR / Kesken / Ameeba
Last year we did a 3-hour show with live video stream, featuring by Kube, Pijall, Kesken, Iwere, SQR, PPSH, Hirmu & Skele, Betonipossu, Tuuttimörkö, Iconico, Mindman, Radam... Pictures here!

Previous spectacles we did are available on the preview post about previous anniversary show: Preview: 4th Anniversary show!
I'm still hyped up and amazed by how great this show was. We had the honor to have guests Kasi & Boney Bro (of Urban Disciples Finland aka UDF) to visit, tell the story of their crew (which is one of the greatest rap crews in Finland of all time) and to perform songs live.
UDF was in fact a great crew with 9 members at best, including three female emcees. It existed for somewhat a decade (circa 1997-2007). They did more shows than probably any other crew at that time, released a great amount of albums that most people still don't know about, ran an epic radio show for many years (Boombox on Radio Dei) and even had their own online record shop (Crazybackpacker.com). If there was a title for hand-to-hand cassette-slanging, these guys would be the champs, no doubt!
Check the show (it feels like one of the best we ever did), find out what happened to UDF, listen to Kasi&Boney perform songs all the way from 1997. In this show Kasi also did one of the best freestyle verses I've ever heard.
All love!

A quarter-decade of Finnish underground hiphop (1st hour: 1991-1999, 2nd hour 2001-2014)! We invited Tipa "DJ Hiihtopipo" Tuominen to play gems from his collection. Tipa is a great music collector and an old school DJ, still playing and collecting actively. He bought his first Finnish hiphop vinyl in 1991 after having listened to American hiphop for a few years. Tipa has been running a soul/funk radio show with his boy Kavallus on Basso for many years, but he also has a great amount of knowledge on hiphop.
He could only play one hour this time, so me and Ameeba did two half-hour sets for the 2nd hour with mostly Finnish music.
Truly an awesome show with great amount of highly exclusive and rare tracks!

Our show on Bassoradio had it's 3rd birthday two weeks ago. Instead of the usual 2 hours, we did a 9-hour marathon, from 10pm to 7am.
The studio was full of people and the live performances, interviews & freestyles were on for at least half of the whole show altogether.
Some listeners had taken long naps before the show so that they could stay on 'till the end.
To my surprise, it was a pretty painless effort - time passed quickly and it was just mad fun. I didn't even have time to play the vinyl-set I had prepared for the late-night.
This was probably the most epic and crazy thing we've ever done. And I'm very glad we did it.
It's impossible to create a track list of the show but this is how it roughly went down: 00:00 - warm-up 00:35 - live: Matre & Paleface 01:00 - live: Aqustiikka 01:14 - live: Kesken 01:25 - live: Dumb 01:30 - live: SQR 01:37 - interview: Paperi T & Khid 01:58 - live: Oukkidouppi 02:14 - live: Tantr Slangrr 02:34 - interview: Alexalfons 02:47 - live: Dumb & SQR 02:52 - live: Dumb 03:16 - live: .Moonlit 03:36 - live: Kasi 03:49 - live: Tuuttimörkö 04:06 - interview: RPK and from here on it was hazy four hours of random freestyles, lives and record playing with Toby One, Mindman, Dumb, Ameeba & .Moonlit, until... 08:04 - live: Julma Henri 09:00 - victory!
Photographer Robert Keskinen filmed the whole show, let him tell the rest. SCROLL DOWN FOR PHOTOS!
Tapes only. Original rap tapes, no dubs, no rips. We had the tape deck mic'd again so y'all can hear the good old pause/play click. This show is not about nostalgia though, just good music beneath the hiss.
Guest selectors were Kali Yuga Pro and DJ Emotion aka Tunnejanne. Each had to wait for their turn to play a track so this was like a homey living room session, a listening circle.
