Rare and Under Appreciated Independent and Private Press 45s.

Street Glide Volume 8

Star Creature

Tim Zawada - Street Glide Volume 8 (All 45s - Rare Groove, Soul, Disco, Boogie)

Join Edward George [The Strangeness of Dub] and Dhanveer Singh Brar [Teklife, Ghettoville, Eski] for the first of three live journeys into the mesmerising and troubling sound world of D’Angelo’s Voodoo. Released in 2000, this album marked the apex and perhaps limit of his musical career, and by extension, the apex of RnB, Soul, and Funk’s impact on American society since the 1960s.

With curtains drawn and nothing on screen, the cinema will serve as an environment for close listening to the sounds and ideas flowing out of what is arguably Black American music’s most generative encounter with the wider diaspora.

Sound provided by Pavilion’s new speaker system which will soon be available for creative and community use.

Listening to D’Angelo is a three part project commissioned by performance, possession + automation, a three-year project funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC)

Edward George is the co-founder of Black Audio Film Collective, the writer and broadcaster behind the radio series ‘The Strangeness of Dub’ (Morley College Radio), and the host of Sound of Music (Threads Radio). He is also part of the multimedia duo Flow Motion, and the electronic music group Hallucinator. George’s ‘The Strangeness of Dub’ dives into reggae, dub, versions and versioning, drawing on critical theory, social history, and a deep and a wide cross-genre musical selection. His live music collaborations include the improvised music group, The X Ray Hextet and turntablist Mariam Rezaei. In November 2023, George was the recipient of a Paul Hamlyn Foundation artist award. He lives and works in London.

Dhanveer Singh Brar is a writer, researcher, and teacher focussing on questions of race, culture, aesthetics, politics and theory from the mid-twentieth century to the present. He has published two books, Beefy’s Tune (Dean Blunt Edit) (The 87 Press), and Teklife, Ghettoville, Eski: The Sonic Ecologies of Black Music in the Early Twenty-First Century (Goldsmiths Press). Dhanveer is also member of two research and performance projects, “Le Mardi Gras Listening Collective” (with Louis Moreno, Stefano Harney, Fred Moten, Fumi Okiji, Paul Rekret and Ronald Rose-Antoinette) and “Lovers Discourse” (with Edward George). He works as a Lecturer in Black British History at the University of Leeds.

GT029 with @jadalareign

JADALAREIGN! Even if tonight’s guest didn’t style her professional name with the “shift” button, we would still be shouting it from the typographic rooftops. Here’s an artist frequently spotlighted for her sophisticated-yet-improvisatory style; her depth of musical knowledge, especially regarding sounds of the Black diasporic dance floor; and (to turn her own phrase back on her) impeccable curation of both her own sets and the bills she assembles for Brooklyn electronic institution Nowadays.

Judging by this week’s conversation, Jada would much rather lift up the creators who inspire her, and whose work comprises her (yes) impeccably curated Groove Trackers mix. This honor roll includes tracks inspired by the jazz, funk and soul of her youth, as well as names familiar to anyone who has followed American (i.e. largely Black) electronic music from the back yards of Chicago, to the warehouses of Detroit, to the fields of the Greater Midwest — and on to New York, Europe and beyond.

But Jada’s sound-world is ultimately borderless: “I’m very free jazz with all my creative pursuits. Anything goes you know? Just ultimate freedom is how I like to dress, how I like to play my sets, how I like to live my life, really.” The dance music arc is long, but it bends towards freedom, and JADALAREIGN is definitely ahead of the curve.

Episode 029 of Groove Trackers airs Friday 12 September at 9 PM on 89.9FM WKCR, New York, or worldwide at wkcr.org.

"It’s been six years since I’ve sat down to make a mix, so I’m thankful for TINPE for the opportunity to think about a few of the places, eras, sounds, and traditions that have inspired me over the last few years and try to draw some connections between them. Thanks for listening and I hope you enjoy."
