We have paired kerosine’s mix with a work by Julie Mehretu, “Among the Multitude VI.” This suite of works follows Mehretu’s interest with spotlighting contemporary political crisis. Using images that document the active migrant detention centers at U.S. borders and the violence of far-right anti-immigration protests. Mehretu remains dedicated to drawing attention to critical social and political concerns across the world through her work.

There's an old Brian Eno quote that is inevitably referenced when talking about the Velvet Underground - something along the lines of "They only sold 30,000 copies of their first album, but everyone who bought the album started a band". It's slightly inaccurate (they sold a lot more copies), but the message is clear: few bands have had such an outsized, potent, and wide reaching effect on the musicians that followed in their footsteps. 

Their stubborn desire to continually approach songwriting from the left field, and continuous sonic reinvention reverberated for decades, influencing punk, post-punk, art rock, ambient music, even notably influencing real political revolution in Czechoslovakia. 

Two hours of The Velvets' best, selected and mixed by Claire Rousay.

A remarkable figure in the annals of 20th Century R&B, rock, blues and pop, the songwriting of Belfast's Van Morrison sounds like no one else. His sprawling, organic arrangements touch on the the music of Black America that first inspired him, the traditional themes of Irish folk, and a form of pop mysticism all his own.
