Air Tight 157| Toxic Policies and Underground Hits

from Air Tight

Air Tight #157 has arrived.  The Alex from Green Coast Radio brings a fresh mix of underground hits and independent music that cuts through the noise.  This playlist features Van Morrison, Deer Fang, Bakar, Red Lotus, and more.  It's a solid blend of eclectic sounds, dance tracks, and independent artists you won't hear on mainstream stations. In the news, The Alex talks about the recent deal between Warner Music Group and the AI music platform Suno — a move that could shift how music is made and licensed.  He also covers how MTV has officially stopped airing its all-music video channels, closing a chapter in how many of us first connected with new music.  For fans of college radio, freedom of expression, and independent culture, this episode hits home. Listeners outside the U.S., Mexico, U.K., or Canada — make sure to set your VPN to one of those regions for uninterrupted access to Green Coast Radio.  The signal runs best there. Don't miss our video series Unknown Airwaves over on our YouTube channel — it's where we highlight more underground music, fringe stories, and visuals that dig deeper than the surface. And if you're into protest culture, fringe art, or just want a shirt that doesn't suck, hit up GreenCoastRadio.com and click on Station Gear.  We've got original designs and exclusive prints for music lovers and counter-culture heads alike. Air Tight #157 keeps the underground alive. It's for people who still care about freedom of speech, freedom of sound, and finding music that actually means something.
