Solid State Deluxe
Solid State Deluxe began as a weekly show on the University of Hawai`i – Manoa’s college radio station, 90.3 FM, KTUH, Honolulu: “Hawai`i’s Only Alternative”. KTUH is one of only a handful of college radio stations entirely operated by volunteer students, rotating DJs/shows in 3-hour intervals, 24 hours a day. The station has been on the air for over 35 years broadcasting throughout most of O`ahu. Solid State Deluxe aired for over six years on Friday nights from 9pm to midnight, Hawai`i time, with selector & host, Cookiehead Jenkins: spinning a soundtrack for the struggle, music for you mind, and bump for your trunk. The show is now available exclusively on the internet. Subscribe to the free podcast at www.solidstatedeluxe.podOmatic.com. Podcast:

Aloha. Where in Honolulu can I go and experience great music (esp. afro-funk) like you play on your show?
Thanks, Fred, for your praise. I love the music too. Take care and keep listening.

When you’re in Honolulu and looking for information on the music scene…pick up the local newspaper called Honolulu Weekly. Usually on the weekends you can find good sounds coming from 39 Hotel, Next Door, Bar 35, Ong King, Red Elephant, Jazz Minds, and Indigo Restaurant (esp. on Fridays)… just to name a few…
peace,
CHJ
I just wanna say thank you so much for pumping out new funk for me to listen to each and every week. I’ve been listening to ktuh before, during, and after college and I think I’ll still be listening it. Thanks again
Cool Jason. I love the funk too (probably obvious). Iʻm glad youʻre into the show. Please spread the word and keep in touch. If thereʻs anything in particular youʻd like to hear in the program, just drop me an email or a comment here and Iʻll get to digginʻ. In the meantime, look out for some great funk-samba rock from Brazil in the coming shows. Iʻve been really digginʻ a few compilations lately and will be throwinʻ them in the mix. Also, if youʻre a frequent internet radio listener, check out two of my favorite shows: the first is called United Groove, with Miles Perlich, on KKJZ in Long Beach, CA. Heʻs a top selector. That shows on Saturday nights 9-12am, LA time. The other is Thursday nights from 6-9pm, Hawaiʻi time, Fistful of Ganas with Mano Lopez. Heavy heavy salsa, mambo, boogaloo, latin jazz, etc….The links are on the right. Thanks for your comments.
