Hama “Tarhanam Remix (Fruityloops version)” (exclusive)

Chelsea Faith Dolan aka Cherushii was one of the victims of the devastating fire at Oakland's Ghost Ship on December 2nd, 2016. To remember her dear friend, Santa Fe-based producer DJ and longtime NFOP contributor Evelyn aka Experimental Housewife made a mix of Cherushii's work that we broadcast on Berlin Community Radio on December 19th. The whole two-hour show is up on Mixcloud as usual, but we've decided to post Evelyn's mix here as well.

Please consider donating to help the families of the victims: https://www.youcaring.com/firevictimsofoaklandfiredec232016-706684

Save D.I.Y. culture everywhere.

"I met Chelsea in October 2013 when she was touring with Maria Minerva. We hit it off immediately and stayed in touch. We managed to visit each other every 3-6 months. It's one of those friendships that transcends chronological measurement: we most certainly are long lost raver bffs and were only able to meet as late as 2013 in the most random of places (Montana). 

I love her so much. She's such a good friend. I was just here visiting her in mid November. So glad we got in one last good hang."

*one of our mutual favorite songs.
**chelsea started writing this song when we were in Berlin together. I was super late to walk over and meet her at the house where she was staying because I was jet lagged and berlin lagged and just slow. much later she when i was obsessing over the track she revealed to me that it was technically written "for and because" of me. really special song to me. I'll cherish and revere it forever.

No Fear Of Pop: Notes on the future of music.

No Fear Of Pop was founded in Berlin in late February 2010. It is a website about music of whatever genre and of whatever origin that seeks to transcend the habitual preconceptions about the "modern" in contemporary popular culture. The music written about will be pop in the broadest, most liberal sense of the term, rejecting accustomed dichotomies between the underground and the established - read mainstream. We believe that the music that you'll find on this site is not to be missed within the context of the pop tropes of today and tomorrow.

No Fear Of Pop is written in Berlin, with contributions from the UK, the US, Canada, and Australia.
