Hailing from the epicenter of Space City, Radio Galaxy is the eclectic kindred of H.I.S.D. and the Peace Uv Mine collective. The group is spearheaded by the songstress Khimmy J aka Spacebunny Jefferson, and the thumping sound comes courtesy of King Midas and DJ Cozmos, who both are known collectively known as King Coz.

Many, many years ago in a world identical to ours, a cosmic adventurer named Khimmy J (aka Space Bunny) set out to discover the mysteries of the universe. As an inhabitant of Space City, located on Planet Peace Uv Mine, Khimmy always felt that there was a greater force at work. She spent years in The Gold Room observing the cosmos, waiting for a sign. Then it happened one day: as she was scanning the deepest recesses of Radio Galaxy, her instruments detected a faint thumping sound that seemed to originate from beyond its borders.

Khimmy’s mission became clear – she had to travel to the edge of Radiogalaxy to find the source of the thump. Her journey took her to fantastic new worlds that no one from Planet Peace Uv Mine had ever laid eyes upon, as well as a number of strange, fantastic creatures. As she drifted further into Radiogalaxy and closer to the thump, she noticed a wide trail of destruction before here. The corpses of some of the more powerful creatures, including The Caldwell, The Maxwell, and the all powerful Luther, laid battered and broken, with their remains scattered across the universe.
The trail of destruction led Khimmy to Kong City, home of the most powerful and evolved form of life in Radiogalaxy. They went by many names, but the only name ever spoken was that of their leader, King Coz. King Coz was an immensely large gorilla-like creature, covered in a coat of golden fur and possessed unimaginable power. King Coz took a liking to Khimmy, and revealed all of the mysteries of Kong City in due time.

The greatest of these mysteries is revealed after a lengthy stay in this magical land, where King Coz introduces Khimmy to the source of the thump, the all-powerful being known as…. well, you’ll have to listen to the story to find out. The end of this wonderful tale remained unknown for centuries, but is now revealed to you in this fabled tale of Radio Galaxy.

D. Rose – “Play It Cool” from Ethos Music Group on Vimeo.

I was talking to Kay at SXSW earlier this year while we were walking down 6th St, amidst thousands of drunk wannabe musicians. We were catching each other up on what projects we both had planned for the coming year, when he suddenly broke out with “I know this sounds crazy, but…”

 If you know Kay, then you know that statement is usually followed by some kind of wild, left-of-center idea.

“Yall really need to do a video for Play It Cool.”

“Word?” (A very typical reply from me.)

“Yeah,  and I was thinking – I know this sounds crazy – you oughta have these background singers just pop out the background every time you get to the adlibs. I think it would look kinda crazy.”

I’m not sure what facial expression I had, but I know that it took a minute to process. It did sound crazy, but I usually turn crazy ideas into personal challenges. I agreed to do it.

When it came time to do the treatment for the video, I decided to build on the idea and throw a curve: What if you were being followed by background singers in real life?

Here’s what I really like about D Rose: I told him the idea, and without hesitation he was on board. I told my partner in crime, Big Mon – and got a sideways look – but he was down, as always. Kay was cast because the video was basically his idea. I originally cast Scottie Spitten and King Midas as the other two “P.I.C’s”, but got Savvi on board at the last second because Midas had an obligation that came up.

We had a short window in which to shoot the video because 1) It was hot outside, and 2) It was about to rain. I wish we had more outtakes, because it really was a lot of fun. Thanks to C.J. for volunteering to co-direct. His input really helped to shape the video as well.

Anyway, i’ve said enough. Enjoy the video.
