This week’s broadcast includes the week’s Urban Landscapes Guestmix from Chris Vogodo. He’s one-half of the influential duo Zero dB, who founded the equally-influential label Fluid Ounce Records. While the label puts out several releases a year, Zero dB has not had an original release in years. They’ve even turned down many a remix request in recent years to focus on music for their debut album. The work is all but finished, due to be released in 2006 on Ninja Tune.

Enjoy the music, and the show.
