Limited and hand-stamped collaborative publication between Séance Centre, BlackMass Publishing, and The Strangeness of Dub. Includes a published transcription, collaged booklet by Yusuf Hasan, and cassette.

In April 2022, Brandon Hocura huddled in the Séance Centre inventory closet to block out traffic noise and recorded a three hour conversation with Edward George. The exchange was modelled on The Wire magazine’s Invisible Jukebox where artist’s improvise responses to a number of songs, drawing out themes, memories, and theories from their sonic praxis. In this case, the discussion sprung from George’s lauded TheStrangeness of Dub series as well as his longstanding work with Black Audio Film Collective and Hallucinator (Chain Reaction). 

From the introduction: “In the 1996 film The Last Angel of History Edward George plays the Data Thief, a sonic archaeologist who travels back in time in search of fragments of Black musical technologies that hold the keys to the future of mankind. In life, as in fiction, he is a theorist of vibration, reading the melodic codes and subaltern tales embedded in sound for clues about the past, present, and future. In The Strangeness of Dub, he uncovers and elevates the discourses encapsulated within dub music — he reads King Tubby, Burning Spear, Don Drummond, and Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry alongside Foucault, Benjamin, and Derrida. In this capacious methodology of listening, knowledge is non-hierarchical and non-linear — Jah Shaka is as much a metaphysician as Wittgenstein.”

Edward George is a writer and broadcaster. Founder of Black Audio Film Collective, George wrote and presented the ground-breaking science fiction documentary Last Angel of History (1996). George is part of the multimedia duo Flow Motion, and the electronic music group Hallucinator. He hosts Sound of Music (Threads Radio), Kuduro – Electronic Music of Angola (Counterflows). George’s series The Strangeness of Dub (Morley Radio) dives into reggae, dub, versions and versioning, drawing on critical theory, social history, and a deep and wide cross-genre musical selection. Edward George lives and works in London.

BS083 - Passage through the blue mist w/ Prince of Gosplan
@dekatmemwa

Prince of Gosplan (the alter-ego project behind the De Kat Memwa guestmix series) joins our own podcast with a sonic collage to explore and re-assess personal memories, emotions, events and places.
His "Passage through the blue mist" mix ties altogether classical music and jazz, melancholic poetry, Eurasian folk, spoken word and field recordings from his St. Petersburg native city. A blend of sorrow and hope: lending emotional depth while hinting at a spark of light in the darkest corners of the soul. Far from freezing you in time with cumbersome memories, this spiritual passage through the blue mist shall trace a movement from anxiety and loss toward an inner renewal.

Here are a few words from Prince of Gosplan about his mix:
"This is probably the most personal thing I’ve done under the Prince of Gosplan name. It’s a space where the imagined and the intimate blur — where I try to process memories, emotions, and places by shaping them into a kind of sonic essay. Maybe I’m overcomplicating it, and all these semiotics only make sense to me. In the end, it’s just a selection of tracks that were mixed in particular order, but the process itself feels strangely therapeutic to me. And that’s reason enough to keep doing it.
This particular mix was also shaped by impressions from reading diaries, works of autofiction, and essays — stories where protagonists face emotional challenges, yet eventually find the strength to move forward. That narrative arc resonated deeply with me. In fact, the cover of the mix features a frame from Hedgehog in the Fog by Yuri Norstein — a masterpiece that I see as a quiet meditation on getting lost, confronting inner fears, and coming out the other side altered, maybe softer, maybe stronger. Each sonic fragment in this collage carries part of that transformative journey. It flows through symbolic phases: drowning; resurrection; fragile and quiet joy; sadness and disorientation; then movement, searching, and finally rebuilding with a hope for better. And yes — blue is my favorite color. It holds sorrow and light at once, and to me, that’s where transformation begins."

Klang-Zeit [04.04.25]

Hello greetings welcome, and relax.

Due to a series of unfortunate events, a very late night session at the HQ. New things (to me), favourites and things you were tired of hearing me play out, 12 times ago. The usual.

BREW RECORDS w/ Robert Bergman [02.04.25]

Track ID: @alextackenberg

The latest episode of De Kat Memwa comes from Alex Tackenberg, aka Alex from Galax—a long-time figure in the underground music landscape of the Metropolregion Rhein-Ruhr, and a steady resident in some of its most important institutions over the past decade: Acephale, dublab.de, and the ever-iconic Salon des Amateurs.

Over the years, I’ve found myself repeatedly drawn to Alex’s mixes, each carrying that distinct Köln–Düsseldorf fingerprint: raw, punky, hypnotic, fuzzy, melancholic, and always stylistically adventurous. And crucially—played as slow as possible. A true DJ’s DJ.

About a month ago, I stumbled upon a guest mix Alex recorded for LIO Press, and it pierced right through me. At this point in my life, I’m mostly inspired by sonic collages, mixes that weave storytelling with spoken word and evoke a melancholic tranquility. Naturally, I felt compelled to invite Alex to contribute to our series—his sensibility fits right in.

This mix, in particular, feels incredibly resonant. It reminds me of a nearby bird sanctuary where I often go for mental health walks—a space of stillness inside the noise, where clarity slowly returns.

Below, Alex shares a few words about the mix he called 'The Garden of My Own Space':

'For some time now I have been thinking about the coming of spring in the urban space—a confrontation between city structures and the places within them marked by trees, plants, flowers, and the sounds of an unreal nature in the town. And yet, these spaces serve as a retreat for each of us.

Virginia Astley’s From Gardens Where We Feel Secure and Emily Dickinson’s nature observations and poems formed a metaphor, a cohesiveness of my thoughts and feelings. They provided the framework to express these feelings musically.'
