RAGGA FOR DWELLER | STREAMED ON REFUGE WORLDWIDE

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.

NTS RUSH: HiTech 290525

@hitechdetroit 는 게토테크(Ghettotech), 하우스, 랩, 마이애미 베이스를 뒤섞어 강렬한 퍼포먼스를 선보이는 디트로이트 출신의 3인조 전자 음악 그룹입니다. 전자 음악에 다시 원초적인 에너지와 유머, 춤, 그리고 모쉬핏을 불러오는 것을 목표로 하는 이들은, 데뷔 후 발표한 두 앨범 《HiTech》와 《DÉTWAT》으로 The Fader 선정 올해의 앨범 Top 10, Pitchfork 선정 2023년 Top 50 앨범에 이름을 올리며 단숨에 주목을 받았습니다. 언더그라운드 씬과 평단의 뜨거운 반응, 그리고 Earl Sweatshirt, Danny Brown, Pink Siifu, Show Me The Body 등 힙합과 인디 씬 아티스트들의 전폭적 지지 아래 독보적 존재로 거듭난 HiTech는 Berghain, 파리 패션위크, Coachella 등 세계 각지의 다양한 무대를 넘나들며 디트로이트 사운드를 다시 세계에 각인시키고 있습니다. 지난 DMZ Festival 의 메인 무대를 앞두고 SCR 스튜디오에 도착하여 레코딩한 그들의 셋을 공개합니다.

A mix of Ghettotech, house, Rap & Miami base, HiTech are a mission to destroy stereotypical “bottle service” club culture by bringing raw energy, humor, dancing and moshpits back to electronic music. In the process, they’ve become one of the most talked about live acts since their debut. Comprised of MCs/producers King Milo, Milf Melly and DJ 47Chops, HiTech released their albums HiTech & DETWAT on FXHE label, hitting The Fader’s Top 10 and Pitchfork’s Top 50 Albums of 2023 lists, racking up fans including Earl Sweatshirt, Danny Brown, Pink Siifu, Show Me The Body & Crystalmess and playing much lauded shows everywhere including Berghain, The Lot, Rinse, The Face’s Rated and across PFW. Hilarious and raunchy, HiTech are also outspoken and principled. With a summer full of festivals and news that HiTech and Detwat are being re-released on streaming services this summer, HiTech are bringing Detroit back to the global stage. and Hitech visited SCR Studio before their debut in DMZ Festival, and recorded their set and we are happy share it to the world!

Imagine Soundtracks w/ redkoffee: Michiko to Hatchin 020825

The first Carhartt WIP Radio show of 2026 is brought to you by @black-rave-culture, the Washington, D.C. collective composed of James Bangura, Nativesun and Amal. The trio first connected in 2020 at the height of the global pandemic, as swathes of Black Lives Matter protests swept across America, and further afield. During this time, making music together became a way of processing grief and navigating the world around them. From these sessions, Black Rave Culture officially formed with a broader mission: To educate, while reclaiming and celebrating the Black origins of electronic dance music.

For this month’s episode, the trio have created an exclusive mix that channels their signature East Coast influences while also incorporating UK bass and sound system culture, as well as rhythms from Africa, Portugal, and Latin America. Accompanying the mix is an interview, where the trio reflects on how D.C.’s challenging scene fuels creativity, their approach to sampling as a storytelling tool, and why performing together is like playing musical chairs. Read the interview at www.carhartt-wip.com.

در روح و جان من، می مانی ای وطن
به زیر پافِتَدان دلی، که بهر تو نلرزد
شرح این عاشقی، ننشیند در سخن
که بهر عشق والای تو، همه جهان نیرزد

در روح و جان من می مانی ای وطن
به زیر پافِتَدان دلی ، که بهر تو نلرزد
شرح این عاشقی ، ننشیند در سخن
که بهر عشق والای تو ، همه جهان نیرزد

ای ایران ایران
دور از دامان پاکت دست دگران،
بد گهران
ای عشق سوزان،
ای شیرین ترین رویای من تو بمان،
در دل و جان
ای ایران ایران،
گلزار سبزت دور از تاراج خزان،
جور زمان
ای مهر رخشان،
ای روشنگر دنیای من به جهان،
تو بمان

سبزی سر چمن،
سرخی خون من،
سپیدی طلوع سحر،
به پرچمت نشسته
شرح این عاشقی،
ننشیند در سخن
بمان که تا ابد هستیم،
به هستی تو بسته

ای ایران ایران
دور از دامان پاکت دست دگران،
بد گهران
ای عشق سوزان،
ای شیرین ترین رویای من تو بمان،
در دل و جان
ای ایران ایران،
گلزار سبزت دور از تا راج خزان،
جور زمان
ای مهر رخشان، ای روشنگر دنیای من به جهان،
تو بمان
