Ask Berlin's network of revered deep diggers who their favourite "DJ's DJ" is, and there's a strong chance you'll hear one name immediately pop up: KRN.

Phil Kearney, AKA KRN, is one of those rare types who has built a reputation away from the limelight. Formerly a resident at The Ghost's Hoppetosse party as well as a Get Perlonized devotee (plus, full disclosure, reviewing events and working at RA in the mid-2010s), he's well-versed in both wiggle and waft. The hubbub around KRN can be put down to the fastidiousness of his approach: he unearths rare gems from the roots of the underground, before mixing it up with a deft hand.

Kearney's RA Podcast, sweetly subtitled "Dadhouse," is an ode to his partner and newborn, as well as a window into his personal palette. He starts in serene IDM territory, before shifting into playful grooves and tactile house oddities. Good lucking ID'ing many of the tunes—we asked for a tracklist but, deep down, already knew the answer. We know this, too: one listen and you'll be hooked.

Island of Exiles

In the wake of the Supreme Court’s decision on Arizona’s racial profiling law, many are asking: Is it possible to enforce section 2(b) of Arizona’s infamous SB1070 without using racial profiling? With perspectives from organizers, legal experts, and law enforcement, this call will tackle this question and draw on examples of policies such as Stop-and-frisk and unwarranted surveillance that encourage racial profiling across the country, as well as offer solutions that address all forms of racial profiling. Expanding the discussion beyond immigration, this call will look at what 2(b) means from a racial profiling lens, and share strategies on how to connect communities impacted by discriminatory policing. Keith, you won't want to miss this discussion! RSVP HERE
Speakers:
- Chief Ronald L. Davis, Police Chief, E. Palo Alto, CA
- Omar Jadwat, Sr. Staff Attorney, ACLU Immigrant Rights Project
