The Clean Up Hour, Mix 235 (October 13, 2023): mophead makes a small announcement

Heatwave - Drill

Tennis W Kevin - Demo

This is an archive of The Clean Up Hour, which should air December 22, 2023 on CKMS 102.7. Tonight's All Things Considered (which is not in 320kbps -- sorry, I didn't realize that until after I closed audacity, so my bad if the sound is a bit crunchy) pays homage to the one and only Keor Meteor. Beatmaker extraordinaire, his beat tapes were not only the soundtrack to my university career, but continue to impress me with their sharp world-building, banging beats, dope sample flips, and general sense of frustration and wonder with the world. If you ain't familiar, time to get familiar.

The Clean Up Hour, Mix 245 (December 22, 2023): All Things Considered 53 [Keor Meteor]

This is an archive of The Clean Up Hour, which should air December 29, 2023 on CKMS 102.7. Tonight's is the year's most coveted and prestigious awards show -- the Clean Up Hour's worst of the year! 2023 was a doozy, with 12 records I felt I needed to talk some shit about. 

Then, I played a small mix of some tracks that do not belong on the worst of list:

Mr. Muthafuckin Exquire (HUGHIE!) - Dot vs. Dilla
Michael Christmas - 24's Freestyle
G's US & Blu - Freaks
Serengeti - Untitled 3
Lupe Fiasco - 3,048
Pillz - City of Gold
Charles Hamilton - Child Safety

Finally, I did the year's last Mini All Things Considered on Curtis Plum, the Idaho rapper who signed to Strange Famous Records, dropped one dope fucking album called Call My Cellphone, then went off the radar due to bad mental health. I only found out about his music this year, despite him passing a couple of years ago; given that I've listened to his album a ton this year, I wanted to show love before the year finished. 

Bike Cop
More Than One Hat
Xbox Trife Life

Shoutout to everyone who rocked with The Clean Up Hour this year; looking forward to 2024!

1975 3lephant Wondrous Place a new rap festival called falling loud

This is an archive of The Clean Up Hour. Tonight's All Things Considered segment makes the case for Controller 7, the San Diego producer who has not only contributed to some significant, beloved work, but who has a solo discography that, I argue, more people should be diving into. Eclectic samples, tight drums, and diverse soundscapes make his projects a tour de force; if you're looking to expand your palette, this mix is for you. 

All tracks by Controller 7 unless listed otherwise.

This is an archive of The Clean Up Hour. Tonight, we kick off the year's odes with a look back at the first four months of 2015 -- a time of anger, with all of us going further down the internet rabbit hole without realizing how much it was going to cost us. In some ways, we haven't left those early months of that year, and yet, it's a whole world and lifetime away now. So, it's time to look back.

The Clean Up Hour, Mix 327 (July 18, 2025)

🎥 Vinyls clash, tapes talk back—when hip-hop and country share rent, things get magnetic.
A retro comedy showdown in 808s and analog hiss—genre wars have never sounded so fresh.

Step inside the “Twin Old Stores,” where a dusty record shop and a fading VHS rental spot hold more than just media—they hold grudges. This clever trap narrative fuses nostalgic storytelling with modern bounce, as hip-hop and country music go bar-for-bar, tape-for-disc, all under one leaking roof. Expect puns, punchlines, and pulsing sub-bass.

Perfect for fans of witty lyricism, retro tech themes, and lo-fi textures wrapped in high-energy trap rhythms. This is a concept piece that delivers humor, cultural tension, and magnetic charm—both literally and sonically.

👉 Think: Childish Gambino meets Tyler Childers at a Blockbuster DJ battle.
