Sean Pittman is a lawyer, political advisor, and the author of the book "Disaffected":  an eye-opening explanation of how America’s political system is designed to benefit the few at the expense of the many and how the power of voting is the one true solution to address the critical issues we face today.

Sean joins the show to further talk about the context of his book, and speaks on how the information in his book currently relates to the presidential election in 2024.

Disaffected’s vision for this EP was to create an evocative sonic journey, crafted in the face of our contemporary disillusionment. This collection of four tracks embodies the struggle to maintain a collective sense of hope and beauty amidst the stark realities of a post-industrial landscape. Each piece weaves a narrative of resistance and resilience, inviting listeners to find euphoria amidst chaos.

These tracks embody a thematic exploration of finding moments of transcendence and resilience against a backdrop of societal disenchantment. This EP is both a call to reclaim beauty and a testament to the enduring spirit of hope.

It's been over two years since I called it quits with my radio show on deadbeat. Hard to believe it's been that long, but a lot has happened in my life. Despite that, and having less time than I used to, I still listen to and think about music constantly.

 I've been fortunate enough to find love, meaning and happiness for the first time in my life, and the opportunity to experience good music how it's meant to be experienced: in the club and in nature, loud enough to speak to your body via vibrations, on speaker stacks that cost as much and take up as much space as a large vehicle.

 Through all of the lows I've experienced, music has always been there to comfort me and lift me up, when nothing else was. I am forever grateful to music, and to the artists who create it & give me a way to express myself that comes easily and naturally. This is a collection of some of the tunes that moved me the most last year, as well as a few I just can't seem to get enough of. 

This is the start of my path forward, creatively and otherwise. No more going back. All of the struggles are worth it. 

Thanks for taking the time to listen if you did. Also if you happen to be in the position to do so, please book me so I can melt faces with the music I've continued to amass over the last 15 years, and share the sounds that I think need to be shared a lot more often. If you are in the Seattle/PDX area and you like this kind of shit please reach out regardless. I would be grateful to meet more like-minded people with a similar love for real heaviness.

[Premiere] Disaffected - Safe With You (out on XXIII)

Stream / Buy: https://found.ee/xTHCZi

Bristol-based duo Disaffected join the OBSCUUR roster with Overpressure—a powerful four-track EP that channels the raw intensity of UK rave heritage into a modern techno framework. Known for their emotionally charged DJ sets and genre-bending sound rooted in breakbeat, garage, and electro, Disaffected now take a deliberate leap into techno territory without losing their signature edge.

Crafted as their first full techno release, Overpressure captures the duo’s mission to fuse rave-ready energy with deeper emotional weight. Pounding kicks meet broken rhythms, creating a sense of tension and release that mirrors the emotional highs and lows of the dancefloor. It’s both introspective and explosive—club music with something to say.

From pirate-radio grit to euphoric breakdowns, this EP is a nod to the past and a statement for the future—music built for movement, unity, and reflection long after the lights go up.

With Overpressure, Disaffected cement their place among the new wave of UK artists pushing techno into fresh and emotionally resonant spaces.
