🎧 Smuggling Vinyl, Afghanistan & Macaulay Culkin?! | DJ Criminal | The DOD45 Show (Series 3 Re-Release!)

💀 Spotify tried to erase us, but we’re BACK! They pulled a ridiculous move and terminated The DOD45 Show podcast account—but joke’s on them, ‘cause now we’re re-releasing ALL our past episodes (2+ a day until they’re ALL back up!) This episode originally aired Sept. 28, 2022, during Series 3—the season where we really found our groove. By then, we had figured out the pacing, nearly locked in the format, and smoothed out the rough edges from Series 2. Still, looking back from beyond Series 7, it’s wild to see how much we’ve evolved! 🔥 In this one, Tai & Adrienne sit down with globe-trotting turntablist DJ CRIMINAL! They dive into: 🌏 Living in Thailand & navigating life abroad 🎧 Working as a private contractor in Afghanistan (you won’t believe this one) 💿 Smuggling vinyl across international borders—because, of course, he did 🎶 His album The Smuggler’s Candle ft. Slug (Atmosphere) & Illogic 🎬 Macaulay Culkin played a character based on him in a Seth Green movie?! 🐦 China once slaughtered 8 million sparrows—and Tai somehow finds a way to tie that in 🔥 Plus, this episode marks the DEBUT of our fan-favorite segment, “A Question From Dibbs”—a chaotic addition from Mr. Dibbs himself that’s kept us on our toes ever since. 💡 Did you know? DJ Criminal once packed a full record store’s worth of vinyl into suitcases to smuggle them out of a country just to get samples for his beats. Absolute legend. 👀 Want more DJ Criminal? 🎧 Bandcamp | 📷 Instagram | 🎵 Spotify 🎶 Theme music by Mr. Dibbs 🎨 More from Tai: ArtByTai.com 🎤 More DOD45: DOD45.com 💥 SUBSCRIBE, REVIEW & SHARE—because Spotify tried to bury us, and we’re not letting that happen. Let’s show ‘em what’s up. 💪🔥 #DOD45 #PodcastReRelease #DJCriminal #SmugglerLife #HipHopCulture #ArtByTai
