Bridging the Gap with DJ Mr. Nick

Putting together an eclectic set picked on the fly for this evenings session of Bridging the Gap. Expect new music from BBE, Tru-Thoughts & Aloha Got Soul Records, Gecko Turner and a new announcement for the Atherton season, and more.

Tonight on Bridging the Gap, we're exploring rare groove... mostly rare and unknown soul and funk songs pulled from new compilations being broken up by a few new releases.

For this session of Bridging the Gap, I'm taking a dive into the cool of acid-jazz and downtempo while sprinkling in a little exotica and other tasty treasures.

Our Fall 2018 Pledge Drive is over (thanks to your help)... and now i'm getting back on track with an uninterrupted show of music filled with some new songs and some favorites.

That’s a wrap!
HPR’s Fall 2018 Pledge Drive has concluded with $802,228 raised, a little short of our $845,000 goal. Thank you so much for all of your support, and an even bigger THANK YOU to all of the people who called in during Bridging the Gap!

Day 9 of HPR's Fall 2018 Pledge Drive! The music over the next couple of nights is going to be a collection of favorite songs pulled from the last 6 months (with a few favorites), and everything played is going onto the bonus "Bag-O-Swag". Tonight, I'm just picking music on the fly (my favorite) and turning out a night that's all killer, no filler.

Pledge Drive eve, and we're going to be exploring the current state of Jazz... weaving in and out of traditional styles and into more experimental offerings.

Filling the late night airwaves under this harvest moon with mellow beats, romantic folk and sophisticated Jazz.

This Saturday, I'm DJing at the Earthdance Festival in Pahala on the Big Island. So I'm using tonight's show to pick out music that I may (or may not) play out there. It's going to be fun, upbeat and filled with global beats.

There are just a few days left in summer with the season offically ending on Saturday. So I'm taking the oppurtunity to put out one last show filled with breezy, laid back slices of sunshine.

With all this music I have piling up, I though it would be good to put together a show of songs from albums that have recently been added to my collection, but are not new releases.

So I was originally going to do a show on  all this music I have piling up... BUT I'm shamefully not prepared for it, and didn't feel up to it anyway, soooo I'm picking a show on the fly. Something I enjoy doing much more than planning it out.  It's pure DJing.

Keeping the music mellow and chilled for this Monday evening session of Bridging the Gap.

Tonight's show is built around the new album from Bacao Rhythm & Steel Band which released their new album "The Serpent's Mouth" earlier today. It's a great excuse to dig into funky/tropical/latin sounds, and set us up for the weekend.

Since the storm has passed... but it's still wet across the islands... i'm putting together a playlist of warm songs to cuddle up to this evening on Bridging the Gap.

Taking a musical cure from tropical storm Olivia, and putting together a playlist about storms, rain, and weather for tonight's session of Bridging the Gap.

Exploring new music, and recent discoveries on in this session of Bridging the Gap.

Keeping the music mellow and a little beat driven this Monday evening for Bridging the Gap.

Setting the music to Party for this Friday evening session of Bridging the Gap. I'm picking it out on the fly... so expect it to be random and eclectic, but all killer, no filler.

Tomorrow night (Friday) I'm DJing a very rare Ska/Dancehall/Calypso set at Downbeat Lounge in Oahu's Chinatown for 1st Friday.  So I'm talking tonight's show to play some favorites from one of my 1st musical loves... and mixing in some Ska, classic Dancehall, and some Calypso.

Following on the heels of yesterday's New Music show.  There's so much that I didn't get to squeeze into last night's show, so I'm going to take one more night to keep us current with what's coming down the rail.

Working through new music and new acquisitions this evening on Bridging the Gap. Expect songs from Beach Goons, Smithsonian Folkways, and more.

Using this Labor Day to pay tribute to all of us working class through song.

It's FRIDAY! So I'm just putting together a fun, positive show to get us swinging into the weekend.
