Infinite Contact: The Science of Rap Beats. (May 10, 2025)

Infinite Contact: Too Dark to See Tomorrow. (May 10, 2025)

Hosted by DJ theo3

I’m joined by fellow radio weirdo and beat wizard Sean “Golden Child” Mangan of Golden Hour Radio (1st and 3rd Fridays 10pm-midnight) for an extra special program all about the beats. We’re gonna get deep into our favorite beats, break them down, demonstrate how they’re made, talk about what they mean, the history, the layers, the cuts, the samples, the engineering, the low end architecture—the advanced science and art of snapping necks.

Live vinyl and cassette blends to melt the exoskeleton and tap the wellspring of the infinite I AM presence. Deep dives into beats / raps / funks / souls / jazzes / psychedelica / synth moves / new age / experimental / electro jams, plus in-studio performances, interviews, and other sonic investigations & spontaneous transmissions broadcast deep from the quasar mindpiece of dj theo3 and his top knowledge on the phonograph. Set your entire empire on fire. Leave your problems behind and bump. Reach out to infinite_contact@aol.com to get put on/down.

Entrepreneur and carnosaur, DJ theo2 was dubbed the “Prince of Records” in ’76 by Disco King Mario (RIP) and helped invent the “deadly live wire” scratch technique. During the 80s, after traveling the world for sounds and gaining fame throughout, dealt with inner demons. Now, after an age out of sight & out of Mind, theo3 has respawned to reclaim his throne, in Full Force & stronger than Ever! With over 2.6 million records, theo3 is still the “Prince of Records!”
