Love is the Message: Dance, Music and Counterculture
This is an excerpt of a full length episode currently only available to patrons. To become a patron and support what we're doing from £3 per month, head to www.patreon.com/LoveMessagePod.
In this patrons-only bonus episode, Jeremy and Tim have a conversation about what music they're listening to at the moment. We had planned to listen to 6 or 7 tracks, but the conversation was flowing and so we only managed 2. Tim and Jeremy discuss the British jazz revival, taking in labels like Gilles Peterson's Brownswood and venues like the Total Refreshment Centre; their own recent experience of throwing parties in East London; developing a more global musical palette than that offered by David Mancuso; and the changing patterns of migration that feed into interesting syntheses of international musics.
This is the first of a rough series of more conversational, unplanned episodes reflecting on what's been on our record players recently and what we've been up to that we'll be releasing to patrons to say thank you for your support. Hold tight for news about a live seminar series with Tim and Jeremy - more info when we have it.
The two tracks discussed are:
Lokkhi Terra mmets Dele Sosimi - Afro Sambroso
KOKOROKO - Abusey Junction
If you like the clips we played, we'd encourage you to support the artists and buy the tracks, both of which are available on bandcamp.
Produced and edited by Matt Huxley.
