Transmissions From Deep Ellum is a podcast that goes deep into the creative process of one of the world’s most talented and genre-defying super-bands, Snarky Puppy.

Captured during the recording of their latest album, the Grammy®-nominated Empire Central, Transmissions From Deep Ellum takes you behind the scenes as they build the soundscape that will become the album tracks; then, into the room as the album is recorded live at Deep Ellum Art Company.

From the unique songwriting process to the rehearsals, where the band performs songs for the first time without music sheets, to the recording process and final song selection, you’ll get an unforgettable look inside the creative process of one of the world’s most renowned jazz super groups.

1992: The year of big-butt anthems, achy-breaky hearts, and Madonna’s Sex book.

In this podcast, journalist Jason Lamphier (Entertainment Weekly) looks back at the major hits, one-hit wonders, shocking headlines, and irresistible scandals that shaped what might be the wildest, weirdest, most controversial 12 months in music history.
