Bang Le' Dex ft. Tony Soul EP. 7.30.2025
Today on Bang Le' Dex: He’s journeyed from city to city, country to country, building a life in rhythm. From tiny after-hours lounges to massive festivals. From the underground to the world stage.<br><br>House Music changed everything for him. Since making the full switch in 2008, he has become a trusted name in the culture — a connector, a curator, and a voice of soulful integrity. A son and grandson of legendary DJs, his path has always been one of legacy — honoring it, preserving it, and pushing it forward.<br><br>With countless Top 5 House releases and decades behind the decks, he’s nowhere near done. Now, as founder of Rhythm TV and Maison Music Nola, he brings together sound, style, soul, food, and film in a way only someone who’s lived it truly can. You can catch him holding down the weekend airwaves on 102.3 WHIV FM New Orleans — broadcasting globally from the soul of the city.<br><br>As we are proud to have him join us this week, making his debut appearance right here on The B, please welcome our main man DJ Tony Soul! <br><br>This is one you don't wanna miss..<br><br>As always, expect a journey<br><br>Do join..<br><br>Hosted by Taigo Onez<br><br>Today : : 30 JUL : : 2pm-5pm (CST)<br>On WHPK 88.5 FM (Chicago)<br>LIVE stream @ https://whpk.org/, bangledex.net, and The TuneIn Radio App.

Bang Le' Dex ft. Bernard Badie EP. 7.23.2025
This week on Bang Le' Dex: Bernard Badie is one of a handful of producers to emerge from Chicago in the late 1980s during the early beginnings of House Music and whose track ‘Time Reveals’ is an undisputed Chicago House classic.<br>Bernard’s journey started at Chicago’s 89.3 FM WKKC back in 1986 as a hot mixer and broadcaster before stepping into music production in 1990 initially as ‘Jackin' Bernard Badie’. Following advice from Ray Barney of Dance Mania, Bernard set up his own label, DJB Records, where he showcased his own productions. In 1994 Bernard released under ‘Bernard Badie’ for the first time with the classic ‘Time Reveals’ and a busy period followed throughout the rest of the 90's including the well supported album ‘Sound Traxx’, released on the Distance label. <br>Since the millennium, Bernard has remixed for the likes of Ron Trent, Larry Heard and various independent label owners such as Roger Sanchez and has created several timeless classics like ‘Tonight’, ‘Truth Hurts’, ‘A Time To Dance’ and ‘Imagine’. Throughout Bernard's career, he has had dealings with a long list of the ‘who's who’ within House Music.<br>Whilst quality over quantity is his key ethos, it’s also the variety of Bernard’s music which makes him stand out from the crowd. From smooth soulful vibes to filtered French House to jackin' funky grooves through to serious driving late night beats with the odd downtempo track thrown in for good measure. This has seen him work with some household names in the form of vocalists Robert Owens, Dajae and Darryl Pandy whilst licensed to labels such as Cajual, Defected, Distance, Tony Records and countless others.<br>We are entirely excited to have him lace us with some wonderful House as our guest this week<br>This is one you don't wanna miss..<br>As always, expect a journey<br>Do join..<br>Hosted by Taigo Onez<br>Wednesday : : 23 JUL : : 2pm-5pm (CST)<br>On WHPK 88.5 FM (Chicago)<br>LIVE stream @ https://whpk.org/, bangledex.net, and The TuneIn Radio App.<br>Original Photo Credit: Khalil Davis @ Razorsharp Studios
