Face the Music with DJDeedle

Count of Three 05/01/2026

Count of Three One, two, three. This week, a masterclass in sonic multiplication and addition where the sum is always greater than the parts. The rhythmic arithmetic grows complex as Sixpence None the Richer meets Green Day and Drake in a multi-layered blend. From the heavy hitters of Led Zeppelin and James Brown to the soulful resonance of Marvin Gaye and The Supremes, this set proves that three is the magic number. /episode/index/show/djdeedle/id/40865100

Reify 04/24/2026

Reify To reify is to take the abstract, a fleeting melody or a conceptual beat, and give it definite, material form. This week, DJDeedle turns the "what if" into the "what is," materializing sonic collisions that shouldn't work on paper but feel inevitable in the air. It’s a masterclass in concrete pop as Michael Jackson, The Weeknd, and Justin Timberlake solidify into a singular groove, giving "definite content" to the unexpected, like Sinead O’Connor finding her rhythm with Chic or Curtis Mayfield meeting Buffalo Springfield in a soulful revolution. Whether it’s the heavy-hitting reification of Korn covering Cameo or the ethereal blend of Pink Floyd and DJ Prince, these tracks are no longer just ideas; they are your new reality. Press play and witness the abstract become concrete. /episode/index/show/djdeedle/id/40732505

Street Science 04/17/2026

Street Science Welcome to the lab where the asphalt meets the atom. Have you heard of a young scientist called Duran Duran? In this week’s episode, DJDeedle conducts high-octane experiments in sonic fusion. Forget the Bunsen burners; the real heat comes from the collision of Michael Jackson, John Cougar Mellencamp, and those hungry Wild Boy wolves. It is a world where The Police patrol the neon-lit streets with T.Rex, and Queen discovers a common frequency with the Beatles. DJDeedle mixes 1980s legends with modern catalysts and reagents, proving that Rick Astley and Ke$ha share a surprising molecular bond. From the classic rock riffs of ZZ Top to the pop alchemy of Britney Spears and Guns n’ Roses, every track is a breakthrough in street-level physics. Step into the lab to witness the liquid streetlife where Missy Elliot meets Lipps, Inc., and Lenny Kravitz goes head-to-head with the Princess of Pop. This is not just a playlist: it is a theory of everything. /episode/index/show/djdeedle/id/40716830

Hot Diggity 04/10/2026

Hot Diggity DJDeedle’s been working on this one for so long that the working title was actually, “Going Nowhere.” But Hot Diggity! It’s finally ready for your discerning and highly tuned ears. DJDeedle is teaching some classic tracks new tricks, blending everyone from Rick Astley and Whitney Houston to the heavy-hitting riffs of AC/DC and Led Zeppelin. You will find Marvin Gaye and Hall & Oates prowling the same territory as 50 Cent and The Muppets in a sonic pedigree that is strictly top-shelf. This may have started out “going nowhere,” but it’s certainly found its feet. Stop chasing your tail and just hit play. /episode/index/show/djdeedle/id/40704515

Make Your Mind Up 04/03/2026

Make Your Mind Up Life and music are all about choices. But there are always so many options that it can be overwhelming. This week, DJDeedle narrows it down for you, mixes it up for maximum variety, and sends you all over the musical universe. Step into the rabbit hole to navigate a digital overload, a choice between the comfort of the blue pill and the truth of the red. By stripping away the paralysis of indecision, this mix blends the synthetic echoes of Yaz and Tears for Fears with high-energy collisions from The Who and Depeche Mode, transforming a world of chaotic noise into a singular, cohesive journey. /episode/index/show/djdeedle/id/40637630

Queen for a Day 03/27/2026

Queen for a Day Heavy is the head that wears the headphones. This week’s Deedlecast is a sonic coronation where genre boundaries are dissolved, and musical icons are reimagined. This episode is a fever dream of "what if" scenarios brought to life through seamless, high-energy alchemy. Whether you are here for the yacht-funk fusion or the pop-punk-glam hybrids, the hierarchy of sound is yours to command; for the next 45 minutes, you are the one wearing the crown. While the episode is titled for Dolly, the spirit of the show is hidden in the French soul of Native. In "Emmène-moi," they sing of being a "Princesse pour un soir" (Princess for one night), perfectly echoing the fleeting, royal magic of the episode's theme. When you pair that sentiment with the high-gloss disco energy of France Joli, you get a track that feels like a midnight ball in a Parisian club. It’s the moment in the podcast where the "Queen for a Day" title finds its younger, soulful cousin in a "Princess for a Night." /episode/index/show/djdeedle/id/40637545

Get it Together 03/13/2026

The Places You Will Be From 02/27/2026

The Places You Will Be From This week’s collection of mashed tunes reminds us that, no matter who, how old, or where you are, you can always go home. The title, of course, comes from a line in “Closing Time,” a song by Semisonic, mixed into this show. The song, , Dan Wilson, is not really about an ending, the closing of the bar and tossing out all the patrons, but a beginning. DJDeedle hopes this show both reminds you of where you came from and takes you back to a new beginning in the places you will be from. /episode/index/show/djdeedle/id/40256645

80s Walk 01/30/2026

80s Walk In the 1980s, we really walked the walk. And no walk in the 80s would be complete without those amazing tunes.
