From static to symphony, Exile sculpts radio
waves into a sonic masterclass. More than just
an instrumental album, Radio is a concept-driven
exploration of media, meaning, and memory.
Originally released on February 24, 2009, this
marks the first ever vinyl reissue, arriving nearly
17 years later as a definitive return to one of
Exile’s most celebrated statements.
Built from snippets of live AM and FM
broadcasts, Exile turns the dial into a living
archive, flipping talk radio, call-ins, and late night
paranoia into the album’s backbone. The voices
shape the mood, shifting between humor, dread,
and hope as the sequencing moves like a scan
across stations. Anchored by Exile’s signature
drum swing and soulful chops, each track lands
fully formed, with transitions and recurring
motifs that keep the world of Radio dialied in.
Remastered for this vinyl reissue, Radio delivers
a noticeable upgrade in definition and balance,
allowing the details in Exile’s sample work to
come through with more precision.
The tracklist is also expanded with bonus
material drawn from Exile’s 2010 companion
project, AM/FM, a creative reinterpretation that paired guest vocal
features over Radio’s instrumentals. Highlights include “Love Line”
featuring Blu, remixes by Knxwledge and Samiyam, and the vocal
version of “It’s Coming Down” featuring The Alchemist and
Evidence.
With this deluxe vinyl pressing, Coalmine Reissues presents a
thoughtfully curated tribute to a modern producer classic.
