Bourgeois Speedball lives in ruins. Sculpting compositions from crumbling synthesizers, samplers, and the soundscapes of Bay Area rebellions, Bourgeois Speedball organizes sound within the decaying landscape of globalized neoliberalism. Musique concrete, footwork, and queer house recombine to fashion experimental tunes for communist dance parties and worlds yet to come. 

Bourgeois Speedball’s songwriting process begins with field recordings culled from the soundscapes of struggles for social justice in the Bay Area, from students fighting against tuition hikes to recent struggles against racist police brutality.  Field recording opens up an entirely novel horizon of sonic possibility: smashing windows become mottled bass kicks; crowd chants become the building blocks for nebulous polyrhthymic terrains; footsteps become glitchy and meandering hi-hats.
