Born out of the same creative energy that made The Pharcyde one of hip-hop’s most innovative groups, Pharcyde TV is a digital hub that celebrates global music culture through sound, storytelling and community. Broadcasting via Mixcloud, the platform showcases a diverse lineup of shows spanning Soul, Hip-Hop, Electronic, poetry and beyond. Pharcyde TV continues to amplify voices that push music forward, connecting scenes, sounds and generations across the world.
At the helm of Pharcyde TV is Bootie Brown. Alongside Fatlip, Slimkid3 and Imani, he made The Pharcyde the super creative antidote to Hip-Hop’s lean towards Gangsta Rap in the early and mid-1990s. We asked Brown to open the door on some of the shows that keep Pharcyde TV ticking over the airwaves.
OverseasDreams
Brown: “Hosted by Melody, Overseasdreams is the epitome of introducing fresh sounds to PharcydeTV. I’m always having to look up artists that she hosts on her playlist to add them to my own personal rotation. Throughout time Melody has incorporated poetry which expands the palate of Pharcyde TV.”
DJ 88
“DJ 88 (Bree Delano) was recently added to the Pharcyde TV network. She’s a longtime friend who has brought the introduction of her personal classic Rock-mashups to classic Hip-Hop. As a veteran of Los Angeles’ Hip-Hop scene and Las Vegas’ club scene, we’re looking forward to what Bree is going to bring to the network.”
Deepsoul Radio
“Deepsoul Radio is hosted by No Qualms. He’s a mainstay of Pharcyde TV and has been ranked number 1 by Mixcloud in a few categories. It has held down the Old School, classic Hip-Hop flavour for the network. Hailing from Australia, Deepsoul Radio makes sure that the network is represented worldwide.”
Truthseekers Radio
“Santana, the godfather of independent radio, fronts Truthseekers Radio. It has introduced the likes of Joe Kay of Soulection and countless others who have forged the eclectic sounds that now permeate the airwaves. You can catch Santana, DJ Redcup and Lance on the Pharcyde TV stream on Sundays at 2pm PST on Mixcloud.”
