Join Graham Jones, author of The Shock Doctrine of the Left, for this 8-part exploration of socialism, science, and spirituality. In this second episode, Jones looks at spirituality by first tying down what he means by the term. Then, he explores the thought of Marx & Engels and investigates revolutionary South American theology movements. Finally, we get a crash course in a number of religious thinker's metaphysical systems.

Hot on the heels of their Marble Bar set, we are happy to have Duck Trash for this week's edition of our mix series. Equal parts ethereal, jacking, psychedelic and groovy all while delivering some warnings of an apocalyptic future throughout. It's like a dance party atop a high rise while the sun explodes.

ARCMIX007 - Duck Trash

Our landmark 700th episode in partnership with Detroit’s Blueprint presents the first in a new three-part series exploring the untold history of Detroit techno from the perspective of the women who built it.

The history of Detroit techno is often recounted in waves. First there was the Belleville Three—Juan Atkins, Kevin Saunderson, Derrick May—closely followed by a second cohort of artists who further developed the sound in the '90s. Names like Carl Craig, Octave One, Robert Hood, Jeff Mills and Mike Banks are among those that have been codified in the official annals of techno history.

But there's another, lesser known story that is seldom told about the women who grew the scene right alongside them. Equally esteemed artists like DJ Minx (the founder of Women On Wax Recordings), K-Hand, DJ Cent, Stacey Hotwaxx Hale and more ran labels, collectives and DJ nights that aren't bestowed with the same credit as those from their male counterparts, and have consequently been lost in the chronicles of time. For the 700th episode of the RA Exchange, we counter correct this gender inequity with the first episode of a three-part series hosted and produced by the all-female Detroit collective and party series Blueprint. 

Alanna Greenlee, Janisa Nelson and Crystal Mioner embark on interviews that illuminate an alternative history of Detroit techno that unfurled alongside these better-documented techno waves, tracing the birth of a woman-led community that put mutual support at its heart and fought to earn respect from their male peers and the scene at large. Listen to the episode in full.

n I rarely ever get jealous
maybe when ur out, hanging w the fellas
n I like ur white t
ya it suits u nicely 
I don't like the girls that u hide behind me
n I kno that I can b ur wifey
babe, ya maybe just treat me kindly
im bad I look like outer space
u kno tht im kinda at a state
even when im out of line
I say it straight
I kno that they dnt rlly like me, they wanna hate
ur side piece is always callin me 
but baby I don't fight 
ya that shit don't even sound right
don't sound right
