DigiTiki, host of The Quiet Village
The host: DigiTiki welcomes listeners to his South Seas “hut” to share a Mai Tai and indulge in all things Tiki: Exotica, lounge and hapa haole music, news and interviews. DigiTiki is actually the soft-spoken and highly knowledgeable Mark Riddle, also known as Marty Lush of The Tikiyaki Orchestra
The music: Les Baxter, Yma Sumac, Martin Denny, Eden Ahbez, The Surfmen, Hawaii Calls, Gene Rains, The Vanduras, Herb Alpert, Billy Mure, The Blue Hawaiians, Lisa Ono, Milt Raskin, Cal Tjader, Augie Colon, Bing Crosby, Ernie Menehune, Jerry Byrd,
The show: Rare and unreleased tunes dominate most Quiet Village shows. DigiTiki has an uncanny ability to come up with songs and artists you’ve probably never heard before. Interviews with fellow musicians and artists tend to get interesting after a few Mai Tais. Among the more memorable interviews were with Hawaiian music legend Ernie Menehune, and the first hostess at Disneyland’s Enchanted Tiki Room. DigiTiki is at his best on special theme shows, including such gems as “The Music of 007,” “Music for a Spookilau,” “Gilligan’s Island,” and “Classic Moon Tunes.”
