Trailing down the dusty highway at dusk, soundtracked by Western-flavoured downtempo sounds. Lapsteels, anachronistic electronics, and deconstructed country ballads.

A round-up of the original (and best?) iteration of emo – early "emotional" hardcore music, an offshoot of 1980s DC hardcore punk, that quickly morphed into a sound of it's own, characterised by a heart-on-your-sleeve earnestness, and a wider set of influences from math rock, post rock and more.

For someone who wasn't born there, Kenny Dixon Jr. aka Moodymann might be the most Detroit guy to ever exist.  Moving to the motor city from LA at only three weeks old, he has never "truly" left since. His music channels the musical legacy of Black Detroit – transplanted Delta blues, gospel, Motown and Fortune, Stevie Wonder, the Electrifying Mojo and the Belleville Three – with an unassailable verve. His dust-spackled opus "Silentintroduction" has hummed continously in the background of house music since its release in 1997, inspiring generations of producers.

In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Japan became the birthplace of a distinctive and intense form of psychedelic music, emerging from the underground scene and centred around pioneering labels like PSF Records. This movement was marked by a raw, dissonant, and fuzzed-out sound that combined elements of noise, free jazz, and traditional psychedelic rock. 

This two hour show documents the sounds of several key bands that played a significant role in shaping this unique musical landscape such as Fushitsuha, Les Rallizes De Nudes, Shizuka, Acid Mothers Temple and more.

Dust To Dust - The NTS Guide To Ambient Americana Vol 2 211024

'Somewhere along the line Coltrane’s soprano sax runs out of steam. Now it’s McCoy Tyner’s piano solo I hear, the left hand carving out a repetitious rhythm and the right layering on thick, forbidding chords. Like some mythic scene, the music portrays somebody’s - a nameless, faceless somebody’s - dim past, all the details laid out as clearly as entrails being dragged out of the darkness. Or at least that’s how it sounds to me. The patient, repeating music ever so slowly breaks apart the real, rearranging the pieces. It has a hypnotic, menacing smell, just like the forest'

Midnight Marauders w/ Marshmello - Roy Ayers Special 090325

Few artists have straddled the worlds of jazz, R&B, funk, and soul as confidently as Roy Ayers – ask four people what genre he's known for and you may receive four different answers. 

Beyond being a world-class vibraphonist, and penning the life-affirming anthem "Everybody Love The Sunshine", Ayers life and music was rich with diversions – touring with Fela Kuti, performing with Whitney Houston, countless studio collaborations, and endless innovation on his solo records.

After years of underwhelming dance floors and sadness at the disinheritance of blackness from techno and house music especially on the LA scene, we’ve begun a social experiment, coalition, cloud formation; entitled “rave reparations”. The initiative aims to help build relationships between local black DJs, specifically queer / femme / bipoc and house/techno promoters who are largely not of these communities. We also call on support from these lesser marginalized bodies in conscripting venues and fiscal support for parties thrown by the aforementioned groups.

Midwife’s multi-instrumentalist and recording engineer Madeline Johnston presents “Machines of Loving Grace,” a monthly transmission featuring her new finds and old favorites with a focus on the golden age of DIY community, cosmic sentimentalism, world music, and experimental pop. “Machines of Loving Grace” is a gateway into Johnston’s process and personal soundtrack.

Inspired by the Richard Brautigan poem, Midwife’s curated playlists explore the idea of “a cybernetic ecology;” acoustic and electronic sources reflect on our humanity as well as our animalistic nature in the context of a digital landscape.
