You Look Real Good (ChaachGolden45th)

"I want more risks." The French DJ and producer talks about groundbreaking musical practices, musique concrète and her forthcoming album, Juggling Dualities.

There's a history of groundbreaking musical practice that's lost in modern dance music, at least according to Hermione Frank, AKA rRoxymore. The French DJ and producer has been questioning the dominant modes of creativity for a long time. First, she learned from the world of free jazz and Afrofuturism as a child—her dad was close friends with pioneering spiritual jazz musician Sun Ra. She then went on to study musique concrète, the avant-garde school of sound collage pioneered by Pierre Schaeffer. 

Today, Frank makes music that's geared more towards the dance floor, and in this RA Exchange, she uncovers how she brings her background pushing musical boundaries into more "listenable" contexts. She also dives into working with the now-defunct collective Room 4 Resistance—an intersectional feminist party for Berlin's FLINTA community which also hosted workshops dedicated to fostering systems of care—and why she's moved on from Berlin, a city that she once viewed as a hub for creativity, accessibility and as the nucleus of political, risk-taking art. 

Frank has a new album, Juggling Dualities, out July 17th on !K7. It sits at the fringes of New Age and dub, taking a sideways look at wellness culture by meditating on the importance of self-care while simultaneously poking fun at it.

This month's show is inspired by summer and the incredible weekend I had recently attending the experimental music festival Dripping in Sparta, NJ.

Electroménager avec Olly & Yanni - 28 Juin 2025

I got the crazy idea to take the vibe I experienced at the SF/Bay Area's legendary full moon parties and transport it to Detroit. At the time, there was a perfect space for it; so I went for it. The rest is history. Lincoln Street Art Park was never the same again.

Hessle Audio with Pearson Sound feat. Richard Akingbehin (Live from Open Ground) - 21 July 2025

Full tracklist: https://bleep.com/bleep-mix-307-on-u-sound

The versatility of On-U Sound shines in this generous mix from the label crew, “90 minutes of deep cuts, lost classics and non-label Sherwood productions, recorded using two turntables and a stack of original vinyl.” There’s the classic fluttering horns, hot sticky bass and guitars, from the likes of Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry and Dub Syndicate, and then there’s the leftfield grooves of African Head Charge with whirring, rattling, thunking drums and percussion, the drilling industrial soundscape of Mark Stewart & The Maffia. Sitting in between are the psychedelic jazz dub fusions of Playgroup with slick dextrous bassline and ricocheting drums, the reggae inflected synth funk of Shara Nelson, and Little Annie’s sensual spoken word drowning in idiosyncratic desire.

Playing tracks for people, helping to illuminate the path to better music, has been Silpher's passion ever since he started making Industrial and EBM mix tapes with a single cd player and tape deck, early in his teens.  

In the fall of 1992, Silpher discovered the Oregon rave scene.  It was love at first sight, reorienting his focus directly on everything related to Electronic Dance Music, starting with helping to found the University of Oregon's campus radio station (KWVA), as the Electronic Music Director.  Since then, in addition to consistently introducing his listeners to the outlying frontiers of Electronic Dance Music, Silpher has promoted events, owned and operated a ServoDrive / Sound Physics Labs sound system (Stylus Systems), owned and managed a record store (Stylus Grooves), designed party flyers, and is always down to teach anyone how to spin records.

The electronic dance music scene is in Silpher's blood, and he can't see ever living without it.

Currently, Silpher resides in Portland, OR, making sound systems sound better.
