Midnight Dread on Facebook ya dig? The program erupted in 1979 from its progenitor, “The Reggae Explosion” KTIM AM/FM radio show, which ran from 1974-1977 on the same commercial North Bay Area spot on the dial. Later it was heard on KQAK & KFOG, major San Francisco rock stations.

Forward Exactly 33 Years; Midnight Dread KTIM Radioactive Mixology!

33 years to the day of its original Dread-cast late Sunday night/early Monday morning February 4th 1980 I mastered & digitized this eighth ever radio program off its original dolby chrome cassette. Musical curative curation that still needs airing. Several unique live-on-air radio mixes using as many sources as possible appear; supered & layered dub-wise selection without objection. Mostly recent releases. Good times for conscious sound judgement. Listen for the Pink Floyd mystery phone booth clue if you want to witness the world premiere of  “The Wall” that Thursday at L.A. Memorial Spots Arena courtesy of KTIM! “Let’s Make A Profit Out Of Our Problem” by Max Romeo & “Man Hungry” by Sugar Minott are a just a couple of its highlights:
