This is always one of the best shows of the year. Each year we take a week off and go bonkers buying records at the annual WFMU Record Fair up in NYC. 2025 was another banger. Your boys plus the first lady of ATC, Skillits put in that work and all the records played on this show are things purchased at this years WFMU Record Fair. The show is all over the map as usual and features tracks from the likes of The Raincoats, Dag Nasty, Greyson and Jasun, Fazal Prendergrast, Fully Guaranteed, The Sapphires, Kurious, Leroy Vinnegar, and Les Amazones des Paris. Nuff heat on deck. Hope y'all enjoy....
Peace.

Above The Clouds Radio - #448 - 11/29/25 feat. Nonchalant Jon (@nonchalantjon)
Even on Thanksgiving weekend the show keeps on rocking and we got the good brother Nonchalant Jon on guest duties while KEMS enjoys some family time. Instead of buying a bunch of bullshit you don't need, buy more records. Jon has some of the best taste in Miami and he comes with a dope set of hip hop mixed with some other goodies. Then rap79 ends the show with a ton of dopeness. This show features tracks from artists such as Big Mike, Theo Parrish, RIP Swirl, Questionmark Asylum, The Beatnuts, Andy Stott, Willie Wright, Rain Parade, and ML Buch just to name a few. Hope y'all enjoy....
Peace.
