Hag of Beare

Many are my Sons

Rat-tat-tat-tat

Mount the Brooms, Witches!

Kali is a Goddess

I Sing the Anthropocene Deathwish

Tears Streak the Reddest Rouge

He Shows Me

Dear Frank O'Hara

This mix is presented by Justin La Rose, who’s nascent label, Sem Forma, will be launching their first release, Legendas by DJ Copan,  in early April. 

The title of the mix, Desordem é Progresso (Disorder and Progress) is a direct challenge to Brazil’s national motto of “Order and Progress”—an inversion that reflects baile funk’s enduring role as a form of resistance. From maracatu to samba, from Tropicália to baile, Brazilian music has always been a defiant force against societal order. 

This mix attempts to capture that energy in its most raw, brutalist form—an explosion of disorienting electronic polyrhythms that bend time and space, slapping you in your face while holding you with care. 

Spanning beyond the well-documented sounds of Rio and São Paulo, Desordem é Progresso dives into the fringes—Belo Horizonte, Fortaleza, Brasília—where hyperlocalized mutations of mandelão, bruxaria, and ritmada are forging new sonic territories. 

This mix isn’t nostalgia. It isn’t an artifact. It’s a snapshot of a ceaseless evolution—a present-moment expression of Brazilian culture that carries the throughline of resistance woven into the country’s artistic history.

Siren Recordings is a digital, multimodal platform that operates as boutique, studio, and archive. We seek to connect scholars, artists, and lovers of sonic poetry in an online community. Following Ed Sanders, we believe that perfection comes in the poetic triad: “the spoken text/the text as beauteously presented on the page/the text as performed.” We incorporate elements of sound and music into recordings of poetry performances to emphasize the affective, social experience of poetic work. 

We value experimentation in form, both contemporary and modern. We renew older poetic works by treating the archive as a participant in the work we are making; archival play ensures that our releases blend contemporary technology with influential poetry. These values seek to serve one, ultimate goal: to contribute to the siren call that warns of the diminishing time we spend in the archaic situation of gathering to hear someone speak.
