This month’s Carhartt WIP Radio show features @deforrest-brown-jr, a writer and cultural theorist based in New York, who also makes music under the name @speakermusic.

In 2022, Brown Junior released his first book “Assembling a Black Counter Culture”, which in his own words, is a “historical science-fiction book about Black contributions to the electronic music industry.”

The book opens with a map from the album “The Quest”, by legendary Detroit electronic duo @drexciyaofficial, composed of James Stinson and Gerald Donald – who are the primary focus of this month episode’s mix. 

Created by Brown Jr., “The Myth of Drexciya” is a mix which features a sprawling selection of Drexciya’s discography from 1991 to 2002, revealing the “sonic fiction of the underwater civilizations’ aquatic invasion of the surface world.” 

The mix is accompanied by an interview with Brown Jr., who discusses collaborating with Detroit visual artist Abdul Qadim Haqq on his recent book, the influence that Drexciya have had on his work, and the best scenarios to enjoy their music in. Read the talk at www.carhartt-wip.com/journal/music.

Next up with the Catharsis Cast #39 is no other than @blind-observatory!

Blind Observatory is a DJ, music producer, designer and visual artist who's body of work is orbiting around topics of science-fiction, futurism and astronomy.
Conceived as a philosophy of treating dance floors as the "observatory for the blind", the name stays a constant reminder and loose set of rules for David when investigating both, the infinite freedom and loneliness found in the universe. 
This unique approach and a deep understanding of a night's flow make him a true master of riding the thin line between melancholy and euphoria, earning him the reputation of a DJ's DJ. 
Since 2016 he is running the small label @gravitationalrecords, not only as an outlet for his own music but a hub for like-minded artists.
David's sets are best described as cinematic journeys into the unknown. 
This is so well represented in this journey he created for us.
Tune in & tune out!

Anunaku's music is characterised by its fusion of traditional and contemporary sounds, drawing influences from various genres such as techno, bass music, and musical styles from different parts of the world. 

His productions often incorporate intricate percussion patterns, atmospheric textures, and hypnotic rhythms.In 2019, Anunaku released his debut EP, "Whities 026," on London-based label Whities (now AD 93). The EP received critical acclaim and was praised for its innovative sound and unique approach to rhythm and melody.

Since emerging (to most the world) on Ben Klock's Klockworks label, Ukrainian producer Etapp Kyle immediately caught attention of Berlin's techno cognoscenti, with a sound that seemed perfectly fit for the Berghain school: taut, slyly melodic and just the right amount of funky. Over the past ten years, he's refined his sound to a science, but also opened it up: his records on Ostgut Ton, particularly 2020's Nolove EP, showcase a mastery of sound and space. This is techno you can sit in, and let it wash over you.

As a DJ, Kyle is generally associated with a functional, if atmospheric style of techno (and, more recently, electro), but on his RA Podcast he invites us into something of a different space. In a way, this mix represents the spirits of his productions, with a wide-open soundscape touching on everything from '90s techno and trance, including some goodies from Canada and Denmark, along with core electronic acts like Future Sound Of London, Autechre and today's modern electronica poster-boy, Skee Mask—BPMs and genres be damned. It's a mix that veers from melancholy to emotive to ecstatic, sometimes even silly, and it's a real pleasure, capturing one of techno's more creative and restless voices.

#132 brings a very special, beautifully crafted live set by a talented Australian local who resides on the coast nearby Naarm/Melbourne, Miris (@montyhartnett).This set was originally planned to played in the Planetarium (my favourite stage) @ Hopkins Creek Festival 2022, however sadly the festival was cancelled due to unforeseen weather events. So, this was recorded live in the studio.

Monty has a lovely distinctive dubby techno focused sound, infused with the warmth of old school house.. a softer alternation of Australian bush techno, but just as full of pure dancefloor groove. He is also one of the hands behind the local imprint Vessel (@user-901026239). 

Thanks for sharing this beautiful live set Monty <3
