TANK Mix: Li Yilei

Long standing NTS DJ's and curators Jack Rollo and Elaine Tierney, commonly known as Time Is Away, step up next for the 47th edition of the Off The Record mix series. Having been recognised for their vast knowledge of folk, esoteric and eclectic sounds which is displayed in their curated compilations for labels like A Colourful Storm and Efficient Space - they have also been known to dig deep into more clubbier sounds like house, rare leftfield and DIY electronics. For their mix Jack and Elaine focus more on the latter but bringing tracks that would pay homage to more melodic sounds. We had a brief chat with Time Is Away about the mix and what they have coming up.

Off The Record Mix Series 47: Time Is Away

Magnus Fiskesjo talks about Uyghur refugees in Thailand that have already spent ten years in prison. Thailand must decide whether or not to send them back to China, where the risk of torture or execution is high.

Update since the show aired: On Feb. 27, 2025, Thailand deported over forty Uyghur refugees to China, despite a pending court hearing for next month, which was set aside and was perhaps a lie to begin with. The shameful deportation was done under the cover of night, in buses with black-out windows, to prevent the press from seeing the prisoners [https://prachataienglish.com/node/11322]. A Chinese plane flew them direct from Bangkok to Kashgar in the Uyghur region, where the concentration camps now await them. 
Thailand has now violated both the UN convention on torture, which it signed, and the principle of non-refoulement, sending refugees in harm's way. Thailand's betrayal of human rights also overrides the Thai politicians and lawyers and others who tried to protest, and argued that refugees had suffered enough, languishing in Thai jails for over ten years, with five dying, including two children. It is obvious it was done only to obey China, where state media celebrated getting their hands on the refugees.

《The Viewing Party》 considers various perspectives of 'viewing' as precipices of action. Between observation, the experience of mediated reality and the reverberations of relation, what is to be done? As one of the first texts by Lenin, "What is To Be Done?" turned out to be less of a call for collective mobilization, more of a threshold between misunderstanding and the laying bare of insecurities. There is a flux of things amidst our attendance to the viewing party, and sometimes, things just happen.

Featuring the voices of 李思怡 LI Siyi、李心路 Lulu LI、瀋賓 Biin SHEN、譚争劼 TAN Zhengjie、顏峻 YAN Jun、and 小鄭 Little ZHENG.
