The 2nd Most Compassionate Hype

On August 9th 1969, Charles ‘Tex’ Watson, Susan Atkins, Patricia Krenwinkel and Linda Kasabian broke into the gated home of the actress Sharon Tate, which she shared with film director husband, Roman Polanski. Sharon Tate was eight and a half months pregnant and spending the evening having a small party with friends. The group broke into the house, murdering them and using Tate’s blood to smear ‘PIG’ on the wall

The next day the group broke into the home of Leno and Rosemary LaBianca, brutally murdering them and scrawling  ‘DEATH TO PIGS’, ‘RISE’ and ‘HELTER SKELTER’ around the living room and kitchen. Watson, Atkins, Krenwinkel and Kasabian were members of commune-cum-cult, ‘The Family’, led by criminal, con-man and musician Charles Manson

Drawing upon Robert Heinlein’s science fiction novel Stranger in a Strange Land (1961), the Scientology of L. Ron Hubbard and the Beatles’ White Album, Manson had set out to incite an apocalyptical race war. Set against the context of a thriving counter-culture committed to love and peace, these murders seemed to jar

The humanitarian spirit of the sixties counter-culture had been upset by a dark and haunting intruder. Yet this ‘intruder’ seemed somehow to have emerged from the counter-culture itself. Manson had been living in the Haight-Ashbury area, home to many radical communes and counter-cultural dropouts, and his influences seemed to emerge from similar origins

Charles Manson and the Tate/LaBianca killings seemed like mythic renditions of the darker side of the Sixties dreams of Love and Peace. Fifty one years after these murders we will be joined by James Riley to discuss the darker side of sixties counter-culture

James Riley is the author of The Bad Trip: Dark Omens, New Worlds and the End of the Sixties, which tells the story of the 60s through a plethora of references covering Charles Manson, the British Beat scene, Timothy Leary, LSD, Kenneth Anger, Jeff Nuttall, Peter Whitehead, Alejandro Jodorowsky, Roman Polanski, the Beatles and many more

Riley is Fellow of English Literature at Girton College, University of Cambridge, working on contemporary literature, popular film and 1960s culture. He has lectured internationally, makes film and performs spoken word shows

Visual and Graphic Artist, writer, and spiritualist for over 40 years. I like to experiment with new developments in all creative technologies and fields, pushing the limits of what is and isn't possible to achieve. My current experiments with music include the use of AI as a composing and performance platform for my writing and arrangement ideas. As a writer and poet, this technology is a great voice for augmented self-expression, expanding the creative process to new heights.

With a foundation in performance and formal classical music, IN2IT stepped into the electronic music scene in the early 2000s as both a DJ and music producer. His passion for rhythm, dance, and sound led him to purchase a sound system at age 23 and begin hosting renegade forest parties—sparking a lifelong devotion to music and associated gatherings.

Now living on the unceded ancestral lands of the Sinixt, Ktunaxa, Secwepemc peoples, IN2IT continues to channel that same fire. As co-owner of North Lake Sound, he carries forward the spirit of those early gatherings. He has continued to progress and sharpen his music production and DJ skills over the years. He plays at a variety of British Columbia rave and dance events, and has been featured in Shambhala Music Festival's Village Stage Jungle Rinse Out in 2024 and 2025.

His sets move through a wide spectrum of dance music, with a sharp and soulful focus on DnB and Jungle. For him mixing is storytelling, promotion, and self-care - a way to share the artists and tracks he loves most, and a ritual that feels as much like therapy as it does celebration.
