Behind the Frequency — Music, radio, creativity, and life on the other side of the speakers People sometimes ask how I put together the music for my radio shows. Well, maybe they don't actually ask that very often, but I'm going to tell you anyway. Because there's a lot more to building a good playlist than opening a music library, grabbing a handful of songs, and hoping they get along. Although, to be fair, sometimes that's where the magic starts. Every Tuesday, I host Off t

Behind the Frequency — Music, radio, creativity, and life on the other side of the speakers. There's something exciting about starting something of your own. Not necessarily because you know exactly where it's going, but because you believe enough in the idea to give it a chance. That's where I am right now with Staticworks. For those who haven't heard me talk about it yet, Staticworks is my creative production company. It's an umbrella for the things I love doing: audio prod

Saturday, October 17, 2026 There's something exciting about waking up with ideas bouncing around in your head. Sometimes those ideas involve music. Sometimes they're about something entirely different. And sometimes, if you're anything like me, there are about seventeen different creative projects fighting for attention at once! Welcome to another Saturday edition of Behind the Frequency, where I get to share a little of what's happening in my world beyond the DJ booth. Latel

One of the things I’ve been realizing lately is that Off the Beaten Track really does live up to its name. A lot of the time, I don’t sit down with some giant master plan for the show. I start with the music. I open up part of my collection, start looking through songs and artists, and eventually I find something that makes me stop and think, I haven’t played that in a while. Then that song reminds me of another one. Then another. And before I know it, I’m building a whole sh

There has been a lot going on behind the scenes lately. If you only know me from Off the Beaten Track on Tuesday nights, you might not realize just how much has been growing around the show, the station, and all of the creative projects I’ve been working on. One of the biggest things happening right now is Staticworks. Staticworks is the creative company I’ve been putting together to bring a lot of what I already do under one roof. Music, radio production, audio, visual work,

There has been a lot going on behind the scenes lately. Some of it is visible. Some of it definitely is not. One of the biggest things I have been working on is getting Staticworks ready for launch. It is not ready yet, and I do not want to pretend that it is. There are still pieces that need to come together, details that need to be worked out, and plenty of things that need to be finished before I can really say, “Okay, this is ready to go.” But progress is being made. A lo

It’s Tuesday again, and that means another edition of Off the Beaten Track tonight at 6 PM ET on Jedi Council Radio. I’ve been spending the last several shows digging into favorite songs and favorite artists, and I’m finding that I really like where that has taken the show. Calling something a “favorite” sounds simple until you actually start looking through years and years of music. There are the songs that immediately come to mind—the ones you’ve heard hundreds of times and

There are weeks when Tuesday rolls around and I’m thinking mostly about one thing: What am I going to play tonight? Then there are weeks like this one, when I look around and realize just how many things have started growing out of this little world I’ve been building. Off the Beaten Track. Jedi Council Radio. Staticworks. DV8R. The website. The original music. They started as separate ideas in a lot of ways, but more and more they’re beginning to connect. And I really like w
