Nicholas “Pumpkin” Alvarado is your new favorite music producer/DJ. His spot-on song selections, special remixes and original productions have made for unforgettable live sets that seamlessly span every genre and eschew the latest trends in favor of timeless melodies that will leave a ginormous smile plastered across your face.

Whether starting the party or closing it down, Pumpkin’s inspired mixes are always lovingly sequenced and aim to set the perfect mood. He’s played alongside fellow acclaimed house music mainstays like Lee Burridge, Justin Martin, Nick Warren and KCRW’s Jeremy Sole as well as progressive electronic music pioneers like Bluetech, Blockhead, EOTO and The Glitch Mob. Pumpkin has become an in-demand, fan-favorite at major music festivals like Coachella, Lightning in a Bottle and Sea of Dreams, where he closed the event after his musical hero, Trentemoller. Pumpkin’s acclaimed debut EP, “Love Letters,” featured collaborations with singer Katie Mowgli of the breakout band, The Mowglis and lyricist, EVeryman along with his sought after remixes from the likes of Florence + The Machine and Lila Rose.

He’s been part of the esteemed Pocket Underground family since 2006, when after playing in rock bands all his life, he found a new passion in the hypnotic rhythms of deep house music. Pumpkin honed his now signature sound by daring to incorporate the singer-songwriter, punk rock ethos and childhood nostalgia of his past, with the futuristic sounds of the present.

In everything he touches, Pumpkin’s colorful personality shines through and he loves nothing more than to have fun with his audience as his remixes for the likes Peter Gabriel, David Bowie and The Muppets will attest to. But whether you catch Pumpkin playing at a massive festival, packed club, underground warehouse party or a special sunrise set, you’ll never have more fun on a danceloor. Simply put, this is music to fall in love to.

Combining music, law, and politics, Civil Disobedience Radio hopes to mobilize citizens for peaceful civil disobedience in the face of widespread government abuse.  While the show initially began with a focus on challenging  the criminal prohibition of cannabis, seeking to restore it to its rightful place as medicine, remove it from the criminal justice system, and create economic development and new industry from the hemp fiber,  recent events both nationally and in North Carolina have caused Civil Disobedience Radio to expand its scope.  The increasingly dangerous police state, and attacks on basic services, such as education and community welfare are the civil rights issues of our time.   

Inspired by the political essay of the same name by Henry David Thoreau, this is one of those times in history where law is wrong, government continues to abuse and imprison its citizens, and both must be opposed as our duty as citizens, lest we be responsible.

Host, Jen Foster is an outspoken, often hilarious, attorney, writer, educator, and musician. She specifically seeks to mobilize the music community for grassroots education and activation; thus, one of the main focuses on the show will be sharing the views of national and local musicians, allowing them to use their platform to affect social change. Legal musings, education, music, mobilization and even mayhem!

Jennifer holds a JD with Honors from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and has enjoyed an esteemed legal career as a federal appellate law clerk, an appellate public defender, death penalty activist, criminal and immigration expert, pro bono coordinator for legal aid and private settlement and holistic healing attorney in North Carolina, Georgia and California. Jennifer left the ranks of traditional legal practice in 2010 to form NC NORML and end cannabis and hemp prohibition as an urgent priority for economic development, as well as health, safety and welfare.

Jennifer decided to launch Civil Disobedience Radio after traditional lobbying regarding cannabis as medicine and industrial hemp development yielded laughter. The urgency for direct action is apparent in this depressed economy and increasingly militarized police state. Popular Mechanics called hemp in 1938 the new “billion-dollar crop:” building materials, textiles, ropes and fibers, nutritional products, and even fuel.

We can’t wait around hoping for change any longer. We have to make it happen. And we will.
