I’ve talked up Z-Trip quite a bit on this site, but now I’m shifting gears (pun intended) for a post on his former Bombshelter DJs mate Radar.
If you live in the New York area, Radar is providing a special treat on Sunday. He’s performing his Concerto for Turntable, a three-movement concerto that features the turntable as the centerpiece instrument alongside sixty collegiate classical musicians. Oh, did I mention the performance is taking place at Carnegie Hall? Buy your tickets here.
Radar is like a mad scientist on the turntable. He developed a system called “scratch notation,” which, according to the concerto site, documents all of the scratching techniques that can be performed on a turntable and translates them into Western musical notation.
Watching Radar live is pretty amazing. He was the turntable technician of the Bombshelter crew. Having seen the Bombshelter boys on a regular basis back in the day, I dare say his scratching is unmatched by any of his peers. His dexterity is absurd, and his fingers move with wild precision.
I wouldn’t pass the chance to see this event.

2019.09.04酒店工作咪董的台北市酒店兼差余進福，在今年七月癌症病逝享年56歲，今天（3號）家屬在一殯舉辦告別式。由於他過去為人海派人脈廣，至少七八百人致意。過去，余進福從中山區酒店起家，外傳鼎盛時期旗下至少有酒店兼職千名酒店小姐，外界還稱他酒店帝王。一殯外頭上百人，秩序整齊進入公祭會場默哀致意，一批過後再來一批，甚至出動六台賓士車，滿滿的花籃擺滿會場，眼前這個排場，就是要來追悼酒店經紀綽號咪董的北市酒店大亨。東森新聞記者張炤和：「綽號咪董的北市酒店大亨余進福，今年7月因為癌症病逝，由於他在生前人脈相當廣，並且廣結善緣，因此在告別式中至少有將近7、8百人為他送行。」咪董生前人脈廣，卻在7月22號因為癌症逝世，享年56歲，由於黑白兩道都熟識，3號公祭現場就在第一殯儀館的景行廳舉行，從議員、地方人士，甚至經紀公司的代表都一一羅列出席致意。據了解，咪董本名余進福，從北投發跡，過去出身北聯幫，之後插旗中山區酒店生意，生意頭腦很好的他開始拓展版圖，帶入禮服店文化，鼎盛時期，旗下有近千名酒店小姐，外界號稱酒店帝王，不僅如此，還成立經紀公司，培養成模特兒，拓展事業版圖，結交各路朋友下，事業越做越大，最後卻因為身體狀況去世，但好人緣，公祭當天，咪董的好友議員林瑞圖也現身會場。他是一個非常海派，又講義氣的人，慈善的活動他都會去捐助，做捐錢捐什麼東西，他都不為人知，他就是這樣子，（生前）跟我見面，問我二階幹細胞醫療癌症醫療法。這次，昔日的酒店大亨不敵病魔逝世，台北酒店地盤勢力勢必重新洗牌。
