Not Modular

Bleep Mix #69 - Mr. Mitch - On My Own In The Club With The Lights Off

"At this time of year in Glasgow the nights get darker, it gets colder and it gets harder. You might think that is the case for any city transitioning into winter but there’s something about Glasgow that when this transition happens it feels like a real punch in the stomach. So while picking out records I’ve tried to concoct something of an antidote to this annual feeling. It moves from September into October and November into December with the pains/pleasures I have over those months. It’s turned out quite personal, perhaps more than I had originally intended but I like the vulnerability in it."

DJ PYTHON DROP (WET)

To finish up with May at Fake Rolex, we host a sometimes liquid, sometimes deep drumming selection from Elise (@el-se), a DJ that oscillates with prolific talent through genres as UK techno, electro, ghetto house, jungle and between. 

‘I did this podcast a month ago from now when we were still deep into the lockdown here in Paris. Like a lot of people, this period went with a lot of mixed feelings about the future, ups & downs. It was in a bit of a lull moment that I tried to share some kind of “floating acceptance” that I was into on that quarantine day 49’

After 5 years in the Shanghai local scene where she was involved as a DJ, live performer, and occasional promoter, Elise moved to Berlin to focus on her music production, releasing an EP at Man Band Records (2018)(@man-band). 

Now based in Paris, Elise continues to push her sound forward and signed an opening reshape on François X's new imprint Dement3d XXX (@dement3d), with some promising releases in the works as well as a monthly show on Rinse France (@rinse_france).

Recorded in Paris 29/04/2020

Fantasias for Violin & Guitar

Maarja Nuut & Sun Araw – Clams

During Jeremy Corbyn’s time as Labour leader, much attention was part to the economic vision that the party developed for the United Kingdom, but less to his personal interest in the arts, and how that shaped both Labour’s cultural policy, and their programme as a whole. In this interview, Juliet talks to Jeremy about his interest in the socialist cultures that formed around the 20th century Labour Party and the Popular United government in Chile, the arts policies the party developed under his leadership, the concept of cultural democracy and his determination to unlock the creative potential of the UK’s young people, #Grime4Corbyn and Culture for Labour in the 2017 and 2019 election campaigns, what the reaction to his fondness for James Joyce’s Ulysses says about the British media, how socially engaged artists might react to the 2019 election defeat and the job losses amidst the Covid-19 pandemic, and plenty more.

A full list of references for the programme can be found via our Patreon at www.patreon.com/suite212, and is available to $3 subscribers.
