Darwin meets Memphis: A Chopped 'n' Screwed Account of the Independent Music Scene in Darwin, Australia 2010-2020

This first episode is a plunderphonic account of the music scene in my hometown over the last decade or so. It’s intended as a sort of “scene report” on what little of a scene there is: a collection of Aussie hip-hop tunes, garage jams, and reggae songs, plus a few field/archival recordings thrown in there to give some atmosphere and (possibly) context to the music. To anyone from Darwin, hopefully you hear some familiar sounds somewhere in the chaos, and to anyone from elsewhere hopefully this is an interesting introductory document to a music scene you probably haven’t heard much from before.

Sampled artists: 140×3, Birdwave, Emerald Sun, Gaia, Jigsaw Collective, Kayoss, Luke Kohler, Rambutan Jam Band, The Logical Hazard, Bong Ramilo, George Rrurrambu, Room 105, Palmo Stingah, Schmitty, Sietta, Vox Crocs choir, Xenura, two unidentified guitarists performing at Charles Darwin University, unidentified persons interviewed and recorded at Lee Point and the Kulaluk land lease

WARNING: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander listeners are advised that the following program may contain audio of deceased persons.

During the 1988 bicentennial year, the Radio Redfern program played a pivotal role in informing and educating the public about First Nations responses to 200 years of colonisation. These recordings capture 17 hours of the Radio Redfern broadcast on Radio Skid Row (2RSR 88.9FM) during bicentenary protests on 26 January.

Radio Redfern was the main source of information for people wanting to join the protests. The Sydney march attracted more than 40,000 people and was the largest protest in the city since the Vietnam moratorium. The broadcast included interviews and music from First Nations artists.

In this clip, Tiga Bayles calls Charlie Watson in the Radio Redfern studio during the last musical performance of the rally at Hyde Park. Bayles is concerned by the arrival of a bus full of police. He describes the scene to Watson and then talks to a police officer and a sergeant. Bayles and Watson urge listeners to contact police liaison units and parliamentarians to help prevent police violence at Hyde Park.

Maureen Watson and her son, Tiga Bayles began broadcasting on 2SER in 1981 to bring local radio into the Redfern community. They subsequently moved to Radio Skid Row (2RSR) in 1984, where they set up the Radio Redfern program, producing 10 hours of programming a week. Operating out of a terrace house on Cope Street in Redfern, it expanded to 40 hours of programming per week until its closure in 1990.
