  1. I would like to thank the White House's list of objectionable Smithsonian exhibits for calling my attention to this dope AF art exhibit which, unfortunately, has since closed:

    From the Deep: In the Wake of Drexciya with Ayana V. Jackson

    It is nicely profiled in this magazine article:

  2. Great article by Helen Scales on how the mythical subaquatic empire of #Drexciya is inspiring a real movement to memorialize the horrific Middle Passage.

    Drexciya: how Afrofuturism is inspiring calls for an ocean memorial to slavery

    "The alternative Black history of a deep-sea civilisation has planted the seed for proposals to memorialise the 1.8 million Africans who died in the Atlantic"

  3. James Stinson (one half of #Drexciya) is also 'The Other People Place'. This is the opening track from the album 'Lifestyles Of The Laptop Cafe' - which everyone with a penchant for #detroit #techno should listen to. Really beautiful deep transcendental grooves.

  4. “What will the implications be for humanity? Who will benefit and who will suffer? These are the important questions that we as a society must seriously ask ourselves. We are all atomic and subatomic particles and we are all wireless”

    the first time Drexciya played in Italy my partner and I do the warm up. The grandeur of this Maestro in Italy was not yet understood, and we were among the few in Italy to play these things. The event was organized in Bologna at the millenium club. Epic night. 2003. After finishing our set it was an honor for us to receive your congratulations.

  6. Drexciya “Black Sea” 2020 repress (Clone Aqualung Series) NL
    45RPM
    Side 2 has a locked groove at the beginning so you just hear silence unless you catch the groove closer in. It also ends with a locked groove and there is a large gap of deadwax before the second track aptly titled “Wavejumper” in essence you have to manually jump the wave to get to that track. The track title info is etched into that deadwax in between cuts. This is art.

  7. #UCBerkeley BCNM (Berkeley Center for New Media)
    Last weekend we heard some intellectual takes on #afrofuturism #AncientEgypt & #BlackVisualArts
    This block focused on #illustration in album and #comicbook art. The highlight was hearing #AbdulHaqq talk about some of his cover designs for #DetroitTechno releases and the books of #Drexciya which are very scarce. More importantly he had a few copies for sale! We got both volumes and 2 prints!

    Inspired by #Drexciya 's Aquatic Invasion album. Have some mermaid-underwaterfolx flooding those greedy two-legged bastards.

  9. Todays slice of total genius is from techno and electro pioneers Drexciya. 'Black Sea' is a track I loooove playing out - just pure distorted energy with elegant warm pads.

    I would pitch it down a bit though, it was a bit too fast for what I normally play.
