I love Drexciya. And it's really cool to be able to hear from James Stinson still in 2018, thanks to Andrew Duke. And it's pretty amazing that Andrew Duke did that interview. It's a priceless artifact. I could go on!
Resident Advisor didn't credit Andrew Duke when they first posted the video, and why is there a white woman's british voice narrating? It's off putting. They're using the voice of the colonizer to tell the story of brilliant, musical escape from enslavement and forced labor. Escape from the colonizer. Oh here goes Denise, making everything about race. But this actually all the way super duper is all about race and racism. And how much electronic music culture coverage is based in europe, the birthplace of imperialism and colonialism? A lot. Music fans and writers should be more concerned about preserving and protecting and respecting the culture that made this music. Why didn't they ask Cornelius Harris to narrate? Why didn't they ask John Collins to narrate? That would be meaningful to artists and fans alike.
