The Den

EVERY MONDAY

For years, Live From The Den has been the heartbeat of Sensimedia’s Hip-Hop Station, delivering a raw, unfiltered dose of the culture every single week. Hosted by Toronto heavyweight DJ Straight Goods, the show is a global gathering place for true hip-hop heads—where boom-bap classics, underground treasures, and tomorrow’s anthems collide.

Each episode digs deep into the crates, blending ’90s golden-era staples from Nas, Mobb Deep, Gang Starr, and The Roots with cutting-edge drops from today’s innovators like J. Cole, Freddie Gibbs, and Griselda’s finest. The result is a set that feels both timeless and brand-new—bridging the past, present, and future of the art form.

But Live From The Den is more than just a playlist—it’s an experience built on authenticity. With his straight-shooting delivery and lively energy, Goods keeps listeners locked in while engaging with the audience, sharing stories behind the records, and championing local MCs who deserve the spotlight. Loyal fans from across the world tune in every week, creating a real-time community around the music they love.

Whether you’re crate-digging with him live, catching the archive, or vibing with his audience through the stream, Live From The Den is hip-hop in its purest form—straight from the source.

STRAIGHT GOODS
SILVER FOX INT.

DJ Straight Goods is a Toronto legend—a selector, curator, and founding member of the influential Silver Fox Sound, whose work has shaped the city’s underground hip-hop scene for decades. Known as much for his encyclopedic knowledge of the culture as for his razor-sharp blends, Goods has earned his reputation as both a tastemaker and a true technician.

Coming up during the heyday of mixtape culture and community radio, he cut his teeth at basement jams, warehouse parties, and college stations where every set was about making a statement. From those grassroots beginnings, Straight Goods built a career rooted in authenticity—supporting local MCs, holding down residencies, and sharing stages with some of the genre’s most respected names.

His long-running show, Live From The Den, has become a cornerstone of Sensimedia Radio, where Goods weaves together dusty vinyl rarities, boom-bap classics, and forward-thinking releases. The program reflects his dual role as both cultural archivist and champion of what’s next, connecting generations of hip-hop fans through the records that defined—and continue to define—the movement.

For Straight Goods, DJing is more than just spinning records—it’s about storytelling, preserving the roots, and pushing the culture forward. With every set, he brings not just music, but history, substance, and soul to the decks, proving why he’s considered one of Toronto’s most trusted voices in hip-hop.
