Hello and welcome to episode 38 of Crate Diggers, a music and interview podcast using vinyl records as a jumping off point for conversations between artists and other cool people. Hosted by Portland DJ, Verbz and engineered by his brother Steez, the Crate Diggers podcast is a Space Gods production. Episode 38 of Crate Diggers features a beloved Portland rap nomad, Myke Bogan of EYRST records. Myke Bogan, coming off the release of his album bogan.bandcamp.com/album/pool-party">Pool Party, is consistently lauded as one of the most talented artists to claim Portland. A product of the various locales and lives he’s lead from a stand-out athlete at the University of South Dakota, to his days in a Rose City chronic cloud, to his life as an artist on the rise in LA; Myke Bogan put together a playlist of music that has inspired him at different stages of his life. As a show that has prided itself on eclectic playlists, Myke might have put together the most diverse mix of music to date with songs by Blink 182 and Nirvana to Drake and Biggie. Special thank you to EYRST records for having us in their studio. Check out Myke Bogan’s latest project, Pool Party available on EYRST records. Find Verbz every First Thursday of the month at Kelly’s Olympian in Portland, OR as the resident DJ of The Thesis, Portland’s premiere monthly music showcase.
