Yo 313, Some archival radio recordings from The Electrifying Mojo and The Wizard are available on the below mixcloud channel. When I heard about Mojo some 5 or so years ago there were really minimal recordings online, despite the measure of his influence. I was pretty thrilled to discover more

Did anyone watch Movement’s Needle Drop about social change? I love Seth Troxler. It’s pretty timely. I mean, you always gotta be educating about human rights. And, it’s so fun to listen to artists talk about their art. Denise -- Denise Dalphond, Ph. D. ethnomusicologist schoolcraftwax.work

I'm really looking forward to checking out those links from the first two emails. Thanks to Andrew and Denise for sharing. Are there any particular favourites from those who have got into them? Sjoerd it seems absolutely WILD to me that you can ostensibly say 'keep politics out of dance music'

Sometimes articles written by others can help our understanding of the stories behind musical activities. But I honestly think the best way to understand the ideas of the musicians is to just listen to the music. All the academia in the world won't give you anything better than the amazing

I rarely chime in on the list but trend towards paying attention when I can. For many, it can be really difficult to cut through the 'noise' that happens on a daily basis, as we are 100% inundated with information about nearly any and every subject we could be interested in, and some we're not.

On the one hand, Denise has valid points. On the other hand she attacks people who have done nothing but good for the Techno community, has never minimized the contribution of black artists, and has never centered themselves in the discussion. Denise, you need to find a way to make the points
