Part 16 is another hand-curated mix from The Alex at Green Coast Radio, packed with artists who are making noise outside the mainstream and keeping the spirit of independent music alive. This episode plays like a late-night mixtape from a friend who just discovered something incredible and can’t wait to pass it along.
You’ll hear a wide range of sounds — soul, hip-hop, punk, orchestral bass, indie, and classic proto-punk influence — all tied together by a shared thread of authenticity and message-driven music. Along the way, Alex digs into conversations that matter, including the ongoing issue of Spotify censoring music and a look at the Powell Memorandum, exploring how media, power, and culture intersect in ways that still affect artists today. He also encourages viewers to look up the Powell Memorandum themselves if they feel like they need deeper insight into what’s going on in the world today.

This episode’s New Classic takes us back to a track that feels more relevant every year:
Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy — “Television, the Drug of a Nation.”
A sharp, prophetic piece of political hip-hop that perfectly captures the spirit of questioning media, authority, and the systems shaping our culture.
Unknown Airwaves is about discovery — the kind you don’t get from algorithms alone. It’s about digging deeper, sharing what matters, and keeping the underground visible. Whether you’re here for new music, counter culture ideas, or powerful music videos that say something real, this episode delivers.
If you’ve been riding with us since the early days or just found the channel, you’re part of the reason this community keeps growing. The underground isn’t a place — it’s a network of people who care about music enough to seek it out and pass it on.
Stay curious. Keep listening. Support local. Share the signal.
