Air Tight #152 – Underground Music, Hemp Crackdown & COP30 Indigenous Protests

Air Tight #152 | Hosted by The Alex from Green Coast Radio, this episode is a rallying cry for the curious, the counter-culture, and the music-hungry.  We’re back with another sonic journey through the best in independent music, college radio energy, and underground beats you won’t hear on mainstream stations. Whether you’re here to discover new music, rediscover forgotten legends, or stay sharp on the fight for freedom of expression, this one’s for you.

This week, The Alex drops a genre-defying mix featuring the raw truth of Immortal Technique, the poetic rebellion of Bob Dylan, the smooth stylings of Nouvelle Vague, and the edgy pulse of Sex Mask — plus many more deep cuts and new finds from across the underground.  Expect everything from dance tracks to political anthems — it’s a soundtrack for the disenfranchised, the dreamers, and anyone craving real culture.

We’re not just spinning music — we’re turning up the volume on the issues that matter. This episode dives into the U.S. government’s escalating crackdown on hemp and cannabis, a silent war that threatens both personal freedom and the booming independent cannabis economy.  Then we shift the lens to COP30, where indigenous activists are leading the charge for climate justice and demanding visibility on a global stage.  And finally, we float through the trippy brilliance of the Amsterdam Light Festival, where tech, art, and urban rebellion converge in dazzling displays — a celebration of altered states of mind and creative resistance.
