My Favorite Tracks so far from 2011 on Radio Base Camp.

On my Radio Base Camp Friday Sow (New Tracks@Noon) and Radio Base Camp-Late Night (Midnight Madness) I feature 30 minute segments of some of my favorite new tracks from the worls of neo- psych, garage, funbk, soul, club, afrobeat, etc.  To celebrate the start of the 4th of July '11 weekend I thought I'd take a look at my favorites so far...

• I also host  Radio Base Camp-Late Night on the 2nd & 4th Monday nights from 11:00pm to 2:00am.  See seperate related episodes
  

• RADIO BASE CAMP focuses on the newest indie rock, 60s beat-punk,psych, garage-fuzz, surf, 70s punk, 60s greasy soul & r'n'b shakers, 50s R&R, exotica, afrobeat, jamaican ska/rocksteady and beyond We play deep tracks and unpolished gems, songs you may remember and ones you might not have heard, along with demos, rarities, alternative takes and all kinds of great music that doesn't get played that often.  We also feature new music by current bands, many of whom are influenced by the 60's (and beyond). We do live and telephone interviews with musicians, producers, and chroniclers of an era spanning from the 1950's to present day. We aim to highlight and focus on music with great song writing, sounds and production, having a lot of fun in the process... 

• RADIO BASE CAMP-Late Night   Steve di Costanzo hosts a later night version Monday nights (2nd and 4th) that features the NEW MUSIC SEGMENT called MIDNIGHT MADNESS. You can search for each episode of these shows.
  

• a little history....RADIO BASE CAMP is a radio show that I started in 2007 on live365.com internet radio.  It became a weekly WPKN  "overnight" show from Sunday into Monday for two years before moving to Friday afternoons  in September 2009 with my part-time co-host, Eric Cocks.  In early 2010,  I decided to focus on my own programming and me and Eric reconfigured our weekly radio show into two seperate and distinct shows: Radio Base Camp with hosted Steve di Costanzo and Connections ...With Eric Cocks. 
  

 Radio Base Camp and radio Base Camp-Late Night is hosted by Steve di Costanzo
