52 weeks ago Dialectic was born. Hope you've enjoyed the last year as much as we have!
This is a special anniversary episode, with a selection of our favorite tracks from past episodes. Happy Anniversary!
Is gentle as a ROOOOOOOOSE
In the melodic words of our boy Lenny Kravitz, you've got to let love rule, and love sure rules this show. Dan and chase bring in the V day season with some ooey gooey records selected for your beautiful ears.
XOXO
In the words of James Brown: "I feel goooood!" And that's what this week is all about, feeling good and being happy. So if you're feeling down in the dumps, angry as heck, or awfully anxious, this is the episode to pull you out of the doldrums. Don't believe the Beatles, happiness is not a warm gun, it's Dialectic!
Taking a break from our rigorous theme schedule to give you a little slice of what Dan and Chase have been listening to. Featuring some sweet tunes and an extensive Zolas shoutout (the drummer was at the station). Hope you enjoy a little peek into what we've been jamming in our ears.
It's not you, its us. We had a great time together, but It's just time to move on. We need to pursue our own path for a while.
F*** that. Dialectic will never leave you, but if someone did, we're here with a playlist to get you through it. Come lean on us friends.
It's been a heck of a year. From Trump almost getting impeached, a banana with duct-tape selling for $120'000, and the climate slowly continuing its slide into chaos, it's safe to say that 2019 was one for the books. In honour of the end of the year, Dan and Chase have compiled a few songs from their most listened to songs of the year. Thanks for listening, and that's wrap on 2019. See you next year!
Despite some technical issues, this episode is pretty alright. Dan decided to take a sledgehammer to the mics before going live, so that was fun.
Good luck on finals everyone! Hope they aren't as stressful as our recording.
Set your dins up a notch, its ski season baby!
Plug in your iPod nano and hit play on this week's set. In honour of the start of the ski season, Dan and Chase have slapped together some bangers to hype you up on the slopes.
Rocky Balboa once said: "it ain't about how hard you hit, it's about how hard you get hit and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done!" Well, this episode hits pretty dang hard and it's all about winning. Whether you're winning at life or sports or at checkers against your grandma, enjoy while Chase and Dan take you to the heights of glory.
Désolé, nos français est très mauvais. Mais cet épisode est très bon.
(Sorry, our french is very bad. But this episode is very good)
Are you suffering from a bout of excessive happiness? Well don't worry because Dan and Chase have you covered. Keep everything a bit more sad, but not TOO sad with this melancholy episode. Bon Appetit.
A man once said, "I know the human being and fish can coexist peacefully." - George W. Bush
Well we're proud to say this episode went swimmingly.
Bush is from neither of our hometowns, thankfully. But all of these great bands are! Check it oooout.

When you get that feeling... we got that sexual healing.
S.O. to Jason and Adam for the suggestion.

There's nothing quite like seeing a band live. The energy of the crowd, the voices of everyone there harmonizing, and the live sound that really puts you in the moment. Recreate that same feeling right here with Dan and Chase! Okay maybe not, but we definitely did feel that for these bands at one point. Tune in to hear a small selection of the bands we've seen in person. And you better believe there will be an encore next week! Follow us @dialectic_radio on Instagram
Get ready because Dr. Dan and Chase M.D. just prescribed a HEAVY dose of nostalgia for your ears. We recommend two ear buds and some car-karaoke for this week's playlist. If these songs don't cure your music-related maladies then double your dose because this week's theme is "Bands from Our Childhoods". Follow us up on Instragram @dialectic_radio.
*disclaimer: this episode has been known to cause severe headbanging, uncontollable singalongs, and possible death... maybe. Please contact your radio hosts if problems persist. Headbanging lasting longer than 4 hours after dosage is rad but I'd be concerned if I were you.
Y'all ready to hit the open road? Buckle up for this week's show featuring songs to blow out your car stereo. We checked the oil and Dialectic is running smooth with an episode including some great alt-rock and 90's throwbacks to roll the windows down and cruuuuuuise. Life is a highway, and we are gonna ride it all hour long.
This week it's time to cover up, that's because the theme is... covers. From classic songs to lesser known covers, Dan and Chase bring some selections that they hope you'll appreciate. Enjoy these songs by artists who didn't write them, and a tribute to the late Daniel Johnston tucked in there as well.
Ever feel like you're in a movie, staring longingly out a window, as drops of rain slowly cascade down the hazy glass? Well, gosh do we have the playlist for you. It may not have been raining when this episode was live, but if you're sitting at home dreary from the rain, flip on this episode and mellowly jam out to these songs. Dan and Chase showcase their takes on "Songs for a Rainy Day", take that as you will. Enjoy.
Guess who's back, back, back? Back again? Dialectic is back and we are definitely not chopped liver. As the end of the summer is upon us, Dan and Chase look back at the songs that kept them feeling good all summer long. This episode is a mixed bag of bangers and chilled out tunes, we hope you enjoy our summer jamz!
Hope you're feeling unique today because Dialectic sure is. We are the one and ONLY. Tune in for our last show before Chase goes back to beautiful Boise Idaho where he'll be housing all 16 members of Broken Social Scene. Meanwhile, back in Canada, Dan will be training his fleet of polar bears to sound exactly like Celine Dion. Keep up with us on social media, and stay tuned for when we come back HOT in the Fall.
What defines "groovy"? The 70's? Smooth beats? We sure don't know, but these songs definitely fit the bill. Tune in for all your head moving, "ooooh" saying, moving to the grooving needs.
Grab a pillow, a warm blanket, and get ready for a good cry. This week Chase and Dan get emotional as they play a selection of their favorite sad songs. From new Vampire Weekend, to classics like Mazzy Star, this is an hour of sad but amazing music. Last song got cut off, but if you want to check out the full track, its Against The Bottom by Grieves.
Break out your harmonies, cause Dan and Chase are bringing you some deadly duos. We may not be singing ourselves, but it's probably better that way. Drop us that big follow on Instagram @Dialectic_Radio
This week, guest Jason Village is coming at you with a never before seen theme. You think you know these artists, but how well? Jason, Chase, and Dan play some popular alternative and rock artists, but showcase those songs that the public skipped over. Shame.
Our first guest episode! In this show Dan and Chase are joined by the lovable Cass, who actually chose the theme 'Female Vocalists' for this week. Enjoy as Chase, Cass and Dan take you on a tour of some phenomenal female-led bands and female artists.
Lay back. Let your hair down. Kick off your blundstones. And get ready to chill out with the boys Dan and Chase. This week's set brings down the BPM, and brings up the good vibes. But don't sleep on this one, Dan keeps you guessing. Enjoy.
Listeners start your engines, and prepare yourselves for speeeeeeed. Ludicrous speed that is. That's right folks, this week Chase and Dan are getting fast. It's going to be a wild ride, so buckle up.
Grab your acoustic guitar and pop a seat around a campfire, it's time for some hard-strummin hits. Dan and Chase go unplugged this week with a variety of stripped down tracks.
Stop, drop, and rock n' roll. Chase and Dan are back at it again with some DROPS. This episode includes a variety of jams from a 90's throwback to a Weezer cover (more like say it IS so). Best paired with a smooth red... followed by a shot of 151.
The first ever episode of Dan and Chase's Dialectic. This week's theme is "bangers" and the boys play a list of new and old alternative, from small local bands to world-renowned artists.
