Downstream with Ash Sarkar and Aaron Bastani

This episode features a wide-ranging conversation with Montreal’s Roger Tellier-Craig, known for his work with Fly Pan Am, Godspeed, Le Révélateur and others. In 2019, Fly Pan Am released C'est ça, their first record in 15 years, but their 2020 tour plans were derailed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Tellier-Craig discusses his fascination with music as a studio art, the unexpected creative opportunities presented by quarantine, and the hyperreality of our present in which our fragile sense of reality seems poised to collapse at any moment.

Interview recorded in Montreal, May 2020
Produced and mixed in Montreal, March 2021

SP* Episode 18: INTO THE UNCANNY VALLEY - with Roger Tellier-Craig [podcast]

Anton Spice is a broadcaster and journalist from the UK. He is founding editor of The Vinyl Factory online magazine, co-runs Dislo Publishing, has written and produced music documentaries, has contributed words to multiple publications and liner notes, and appeared on NTS, Worldwide FM, Dublab, and now - Friendly Potential Radio. 

"Like any good daydream, this mix isn't particularly linear. Instead, it moves between scenes, moods and sequences, loosely inspired by the title of Takami Hasegawa's only album L'Ecume de Jours (itself named after Boris Vian's 1947 novel, Froth on the Daydream). When I first heard the track of hers I've included, it totally blew my socks off - a jazzy little ballad, tinged with melancholy and outrageous orchestral flourishes. It has a baroque, melodramatic quality that I think you get in a lot of the less mainstream pop, synth and new wave from the mid '80s. On the one hand, the rhythms and melodies are punchy and full of confidence, and then on the other, there is a naïve, nostalgic strangeness to the song-writing, so aware of its own fast-fading youth that it almost melts away completely. If there's a feeling I wanted to capture with the mix then it is this contrast, between vivid technicolour and hazy drift."

Ep 239 w/ Anton Spice (UK)

With the prospect of another potential Labour by-election defeat in Batley and Spen next month, Jeremy Gilbert joins PTO to talk about the prospect of the Labour Party facing further erosion in its support and whether the Keir Starmer project is even about winning elections or if the goal is simply to defeat and marginalise the Labour left.

Lodown presents: Beppe Loda "BL76"

Jack and Geraint are joined by longtime friend of the show Matt Zarb-Cousin; former spokesman for Jeremy Corbyn - and, subsequently, one of the few reliably left-wing pundits to get a hearing in the media - current spokesman for the Clean Up Gambling campaign, aide to Rebecca Long-Bailey on her sadly unsuccessful leadership campaign, and, most importantly, repeat RP guest. In his first appearance since 2017, he talks us through his issues with the milquetoast strategy currently being pursued by Keir Starmer; one that he claims strongly resembles that of David Cameron. We look back on some of the successes and failures of Corbynism, and hopefully touch on a myriad other subjects that should *ahem* boil some centrist piss.

EPISODE 178: Foursquare And Seven Years Ago

Bonus Episodes

Nearly 12 months ago some said that we were on the verge of entering a new Roaring '20s. How prescient they turned out to be. 

One pandemic and a global economic freefall later, all the assumptions we started out with in January have turned to dust. In their place are pressing questions. Did Boris Johnson's landslide breathe a new lease of life into the Conservative Party? Has coronavirus changed politics for a decade? What does the explosive rise of BLM mean for the anti-racist cause?

Downstream hosts Ash Sarkar and Aaron Bastani are joined by NovaraFM's James Butler to discuss the year in review and what comes next.

Downstream: The Year In Review 2020

On Monday a British judge ruled that Julian Assange should not be extradited to the United States on charges of espionage and computer hacking. Yet despite that verdict the judgment arguably represented a blow to freedom of the press, with the judge accepting the substance of the case made by the US State Department. 

On Downstream, Aaron Bastani is joined by Yanis Varoufakis, former Greek finance minister and prominent supporter of Julian Assange during his time in prison, as they discuss the meaning of the outcome and what next for the founder of Wikileaks.

Downstream: Does the US Want Julian Assange Dead?

The last few years have heralded the rise of the influencer: social media users who have, in essence, found a way to get paid for being themselves on the internet. But has this commodification of the self poisoned the public sphere? Or are we witnessing the end of gatekeeping - and the beginnings of a new, more democratic kind of celebrity? Moya Lothian-McLean, politics editor at gal-dem magazine, joins Ash Sarkar on Downstream to crack open the influencer industrial complex.

Downstream: The Influencer Industrial Complex w/ Moya Lothian-McLean

A year after the World Health Organisation declared Covid-19 a pandemic, with Britain enduring more than 100,000 deaths since, major questions remain unanswered. Why was the response of the UK among the worst in the world? How is it possible that the death toll of countries in Europe and North America is so much higher than poorer countries such as Thailand and Vietnam? And when will things go ‘back to normal’?

Aaron Bastani poses these questions to Richard Horton, editor-in-chief of the prestigious medical journal The Lancet and author of The Covid-19 Catastrophe: What's Gone Wrong and How to Stop It Happening Again.

Pablo R. Ruiz, DJ and producer deeply familiar with different heartbeats: the percussive Latin pulse and the Motor City beat.
As a DJ he started out in Santiago De Chile.
His music has been released on labels like Shigeto’s Portage Garage Sounds or Nicolas Lutz's Lutzifer imprint. His mix for Müstique x Mutant Radio was done, as he puts it, “100% improvised with zero preparation. "I opened my record bag and mixed records that were in there from last time I played. It was recorded during a snowy Detroit Sunday night.”
