In this episode, GerryPthaDJ sits down with Felice Navidad to reflect on her seven-year run with Determined Radio—a journey rooted in love for Chicago’s local music scene. From interviews with standouts like Christopher Taco Toney and DJ MileHigh, to pushing the wave for breakout acts like the MAKO Girls, Felice gets candid about the grind, the gratitude, and what’s next. 💜

We tap into the real conversation about the 312 Music Awards, spotlighting artists who got DJs actually wanting to spin their records—yes, we said it! Chicago got a wide-open lane for “shake your ass” music, and names like LSTREETZ and Shawnna are already breaking into platforms like NBA 2K. 👏🏾🔥

Bootcamp Radio announces a new host transition as we double down on our flagship: Fab 94.5 The Hitz. We also sound the alarm on a recent Lollapalooza scam—read the fine print, y’all. Don’t get got. 🧾🚫

Felice opens up about the bittersweet closing of their event space and what’s ahead, with eyes on Navy Pier and a dope Mexican venue for future shows. Through it all, her heart stays focused on community outreach with StandUp for Kids - Chicago. 💪🏽💜

And don’t forget—Journey Soul will be at Reggie’s on Sunday, July 20th, alongside Boy Floyd and Taco. Tap in with Determined Radio every Wednesday, and follow @JourneySoul on Instagram to keep the vibes going. 🎶📲
