When the East (Bay) Is In the House...

DJ Matthew Africa is in town this week from out West and joins me at the controls tomorrow night. Longtime listeners of Cal-Berkeley's KALX are well familiar with this gentleman as he's been a staple there since the early '90s, when he started out DJing and co-hosting indie rap impresario Beni B's influential program. In addition to hosting his own weekly show at the station, and gigging 'round the Bay, Matthew's mixing and musings are conveniently available to the rest of the galaxy via his Internet radio program, 2 Busy Saying Yeah, and blog - both of which, of course, get the enthusiastic thumbs-up over here (as do his much celebrated official mix releases). If you're in the city and don't catch us Saturday night you've got ample chance to check him otherwise while he's here, so don't snooze.
