At these times of globalization where each have been able to be confronted with the attempt of hypnotisation of these advertisements " This is a disc... Universe Sale ", it is good to notice that there are still zones where one can promote the music which the one loves and which one wants to defend, in a independent way. The net have allowed of developper communications, without or with few of investissments financiers, who allow to touch thousand people. It is considerable, notably in this music's formated universe.
There are still , also, people who defend values different from multinationals, in a sense from artisans of the sound, Joe Kelley is one of those there and he celebrates this year these 20 years of radio.

Those that voyage across the funky network often and in its least hidden recesses have already heard speaking about this show: " The Upper Room with Joe Kelley " spread on live365.com, including myself but I did not know in which point the values which they defended deserved to be known of all.
It is made thing, let's beging presentations:
Their crédo, with Gi Dussault, is to defend creativity in funk or in other music styles and 80 % of their programming is dedicated to the promotion of independent artists. " Because of the good music whenever any category, stays of good music. " Dixit Gi.

One can there listen to big names of funk (Bernie Worell or The Time) which give evidence Joe Kelley, more and more of their confidence as well as other talented musicians who appreciate freedom offered in this show, they all can there express all the facets of their talent and their creativity is not checked there because there is no history of money behind. It is a way of honouring these circumvent persons which have no more too much their place in the musical industry next to the fresh flesh which this machine packages and make us consume.

The same principle allows artists not well known to be spread on a radio show without paying to be diffused (hey yes that works so, saddened). One is far from the compulsory sizes of our Nrj (french radio) and other big one radios.
Here are persons who believe in values and defend them there being faithful for their principles. That to add except that it is for not commercial purpose; there, one is close to the ONG ( Non Gouvernemental Organization ), let us declare this radio of public interest!
Keep Da Funk Alive!!!
