March 18, 2021 marks the 150th anniversary of the Paris Commune. Despite it's brutal demise at the hands of France's Third Republic, The Paris Commune was hugely influential on contemporary theoretical giants such as Pyotr Kropotkin and Karl Marx, and continues to be a source of inspiration and valuable lessons for those of us who dream of and work toward a more just and equitable world.

To commemorate the Paris Commune on this special anniversary, we released a new single called Withering Roses. We hope you enjoy the song and share it with your friends!

Withering Roses

This mix was recorded while doing a Facebook stream live and direct from the Swanpound. If you don't like bangers then the selection of tracks contained in this mix probably isn't for you, but, if you do then you're gonna love it! Like the guy from those Men's Warehouse ads says, "I guarantee it!"
