  DJ DICO's VINTAGE 30 VIBE SELECTIONS 01.09.2026 2ч

  It's the first Tuesday of September. A show that harks back to simpler times.  When people ask me "what kind of songs and artists do you like" it's a bit hard to answer.  So I thought it might be interesting to take stock of some of my DJ DICO vintage vibe selections.  Songs perhaps under the radar and same with bands. In any event I hope you like the selections - they bring back a lot of nostalgia for me. I promise new releases on my next show.  Here you go DJ DICO's VINTAGE 30 Vibe Selections.The House of Love, The Blue Nile Air, Tame Impala, The Wild Swans, Bjork, Patti Smith, Wire, The Magnetic Fields, Delta 5, Talking Heads, Pretenders,The Gun Club, The Mekons, New Fast Automatic Daffodils, Dee-Lite, Killing Joke, Betty Davis, Juana Molina, Ned's Atomic Dustbin,Katell Keineg, The Shins, Gomez, Jah Wobble's Invaders of the Heart, The Stone Roses, The La's, XTC, Beth Orton, Robyn Hitchcock, Julian Cope

  Radio Base Camp welcomes DJ Germaine Valentine 18.08.2026 2ч

  Tuesday’s Radio Base Camp show has a well-known DJ- Germaine Valentine- who has shared many shows over the past 15+ years that I’ve been on WPKN Radio. It was always an honor to have Germaine Valentine and Hilton Valentine in the studio telling stories and playing great music. Unfortunately, Hilton Valentine - the original guitarist of the British band The Animals- passed in Jan. 2021. It‘s wonderful to have Germaine on with us today- she has produced many 'Psychedelic' shows on RBC. Today she has a surprise set of music - much of it new from the UK and elsewhere.   Radio Base Camp is hosted by Steve di Costanzo every Tuesday morning on WPKN 89.5-FM in Bridgeport.  You can reach him at [email protected]
