An analysis with journalist Ellery Biddle on clampdowns on digital rights when authoritarian regimes use it to silence oppositions. Listen on how internet shutdowns are affecting some wars and conflicts as well as how the nexus of tech companies and authoritarian regimes are herding political behaviour with little chance of any meaningful regulation on the horizon.

Digital authoritarianism

This mix isn’t just a playlist—it’s my voice. As a DJ, I’ve carefully curated every track to speak louder than words. Through each beat, each transition, I’m amplifying the struggles of Palestine, Sudan, Congo, and beyond. 

Hip-hop was born to be a weapon for change, a platform for resistance. I’ve poured my soul into this selection because the message is bigger than music—it’s about fighting for justice, lifting voices that need to be heard, and sparking change. The sound you hear? It’s the heartbeat of liberation. It’s the rhythm of unity, resistance, and resilience.

Every track reflects the spirit of protest. Every drop is a declaration that we won’t stay silent. Music, in its purest form, can transcend borders and create a wave of collective action. I want you to feel the urgency, the struggle, and the hope in each mix, and to take that energy with you.

Listen closely. This isn’t just a mix—it’s a movement. A reminder that we all have a role in making change, even when it feels like the world is standing still

Join me in using the power of music to make a difference. Let’s make noise for those who need us. No matter how small the step, every action counts.
