For this episode and for the followings, I wanted to give the floor to some artists I admire and respect a lot. I believe everyone has ideas, a voice, opinions they want to fight for. I believe we can aspire for a better future world through music. Today, I have invited @c-m-d to record a Mixing for a Cause podcast.

MFC 8 : CMD – A world without police 

CMD (@c-m-d) aka Cyan (@cyan-dj) is a Montreal DJ and producer whose live performances and DJ sets reveal a veteran talent for creating aesthetic links between various styles.
Her commitment to finding and sharing new music is reflected in her radio show modular systems on CKUT 90.3 FM and her guest mixes for various podcasts.

As a producer she has releases on Jacktone, Low Noise Productions, and Fur Trade. The talented musician DJs widely and has shared bills with artists like Nina Kraviz, Robert Hood, Kevin Saunderson, Lotus Eater, Gunnar Haslam, Avalon Emerson among others. 

This accustomed artist to world-renowned events such as Piknic Electronik, Igloofest or Mutek Festival is one of the pillars of the Montreal techno scene.

Today in her Mixing for a Cause mix, CMD wanted to express her feelings regarding police abolition. 

CMD : “Calls to defund and dismantle city police departments are gaining momentum in response to recent violence perpetuated by police and the racist legacy of policing in Canada and the US. Alternatives to police and prisons have been advanced for decades by the abolition movement, particularly through the work of Black feminist scholars and activists like Angela Davis, Beth Richie, Mariame Kaba, Ruth Wilson Gilmore, Robyn Maynard and many others. I have been learning about the history of this movement and its aims, and the wider history of policing as a form of state violence used against Black and Indigenous peoples. I want to encourage everyone to resist the law and order narratives we've been fed for decades to imagine a world without police, and to support abolitionist organizers and actions.”

Antifa is my cousin.  I heard some people were looking for her.  Since I like to be helpful when I can, she was in Alexandria last time I talked to her, three weeks ago.  I think she mentioned going to Zurich in the near future.

Is it 1984 already?!?!

I have not been able to recover access to my other account [https://soundcloud.com/ha-kekong] for a couple of years.  I have tried a few times to get back into it but SoundCloud doesn't trust me.  Same phone number, same email addresses, and they still claim that they can't verify my identity.  I created that account about three years ago as a substitute to my regular account which SoundCloud temporarily closed.  They closed it as part of some upgrade procedure in their system, the result of a bug that affected many accounts, about two years ago.  Since SC did not inform its users I didn't know if that was permanent or not, so I created that other account which I can't access.  Don't be mad if I have not replied to your message in the past two years, that's because I never got them ; ) ... You can always reach me here though.
...

This one here (957729823) is for regular folks.

I love you, both.

...

You can't see it because of the angle with which I took the shot, aiming down, but beyond those blocks is the sea.  To the left is the Mediterranean, to the right is the Atlantic Ocean.  No it's not Gibraltar, but a little bit further West. ... Actually I checked recently and it is further North more than West, I thought I was facing South when in fact I probably was facing the Atlantic ocean, which is why I suppose the waves were of a decent size where we were.

I then went ahead and butchered his work with a borrowed helmet.
... Sorry Joe. =(
...

I'm trying to promote what I think is good music, so if you want to help out a bit I'd rather you [like] or [repost] my *playlists* rather than my field recordings, if you don't mind, unless you are a die hard fan of those things. Thank you ; )

I speak French, so if you send me a private message, and that you are a francophone, please write in French, thank you.  ... I mean, you don't absolutely have to, but I would prefer it. 

All my field recordings (except for when I record a person) are public, freely downloadable by anyone who is able to click on the button.  I encourage anyone interested to use them in any way whatsoever, on purpose or accidentally. No need for permissions or credits or any other kind  of administrative maneuvers.
...

Anarchists give me hope.

I'm a big fan of EFF.  Love ya EFF.  (no connection with the above line)
... and of course Richard Stallman and Linux and all the others.  Bless yous.

Now don't be lazy, go find out what it is this "EFF" that I'm talking about.  I'll give you a hint: it has to do with computers.

You have a nice day now.  Hugs & Kisses.
