I could probably write a thesis at this point about the sonics of suburban ennui and self-discovery — for now it’s mixes like this that help me realize that no I was not truly alone out in the suburbs, there were other kindred spirits scattered hither and yon. @diletamtl is one of said spirits - a dear friend and absolute mind bending dj / selector / artist / whatever who has developed a keen sense of atmosphere and world building. "Ducking Life: a record of urban seclusion" est une heure d'ennui cinématique, familiar to many that grew up in suburbia at the start of the end of history.

"This one is mostly cinematic synth-heavy slow beats: downtempo, industrial, post-punk, slowfast motorik, experimental atmospherics - with a couple unsettling emotional favourite "centerpieces". I tried to capture the feeling of (sub)urban disconnection - walking aimlessly for hours and feeling like an outsider in your own hometown, with a melancholic warmth in your chest, terrifying thoughts and beings smashing around. (Also about feeling like a ducking duck)."

Les larmes du progrès w/ Malta Corrosiva (15/03/24)

In December 2023, French collective Parole d’Honneur and other left-wing associations invited Judith Butler to give a talk about Palestine, antisemitism and zionism. The event was canceled after Paris. Mayor’s Office threatened the venue to withdraw fundings in case it hosted this round-table. It was eventually rescheduled in March 2024, in a private space, in Paris’ suburbs. Judith Butler exchanged with Françoise Vergès, Michèle Sibony and Olivier Marboeuf about antisemitism, zionism and the ongoing genocide in Gaza. This show features an edit of Judith Butler’s intervention.
