  3. This morning's #workout #music is from Phelimuncasi in concert in 2024. Great energy and an excellent, if unintended, exhibit of white privilege to punctuate their politics.

  14. If bugs me how generic the title is, and how hard it is to find information about it, but Geato’s “In Loving Memory (feat. Vibez)” has to be the most joyful Gqom track that I know about. #gqom music.apple.com/album/in-lovin

  15. Gqom is meant to be heard very loud, and I can’t wait to hear it very loud and cry more tears of joy. #gqom

  16. Apple Music’s “Gqom Nation” playlist is wildly great. Tears of joy every time I re-visit it. #gqom music.apple.com/playlist/gqom-

  17. Gqom continues to be thrilling for being both joyful and ominous at the same time. #gqom

  18. If you’re interested in Gqom and other contemporary African electronic music, be sure to listen to Taxi Sampler 01 (and watch the linked documentaries). #gqom amf.didiermary.fr/taxi-sampler

  19. Today's #BandcampFriday ? So I have a t(r)ip for you. A big rabbit hole to jump in.
    Hakuna Kulala is a record label from Uganda with an immense output of great stuff. #polyrhythmic #afrofuturistic #grime #tribal #trap #gqom #techno however to call it.
    Ever since the person who draws these ingenious graphics <kid gringo> ended up in my workshop with an emergency of an overly dusty laptop and pointed it out to me, I keep coming back to it, delighted by every release.

  21. Olen tänään jo kuunnellut eteläafrikkalaista #amapiano a ja #gqom ia sekä #LataMangeshkar in #Bollywood-klassikoita Palak & Palash #Muchhal in ja #BirminghamSymphonyOrchestra n esittäminä BBC Worldiltä, ja nyt #DJbunuel on aloittanut ohjelmansa Yle Vegalla soittamalla ranskalaista, saksalaista & italialaista musaa.

    Ei #MaailmaKylässä, vaan maailma kotona.

    Ja kun kyseessä #ElBunu, voi musiikkimatka viedä seuraavan kolmen tunnin aikana aivan mihin vain. AH!

  22. An#Introduction for a new instance as I'm fleeing #MastodonLol 's collapse. Hiya I'm a DJ and a scholar (professor/teacher/researcher/writer) into #Djing #abolition #scifi #disabilityjustice #criticalracetheory , #laborjustice #anticolonial (or un- or de- ) moves, and thinking about #quantification #ethics (I am NOT an ethicist or philosopher), (critical) #IPlaw #technology and other structures of power. I try to live my values as best I can, stand up for whats right, build and connect, support and develop structures of #care, (that requires that we) dance and eat good food. I write about #pirateradio #surveillance #soundsystemculture
    I'm based in #philly . I learn from, love, and am newly a home-sharer and #caregiver to my elderly and awesome mother. Currently mourning a beloved #dog (I do also love #cats and #capybaras ). I play and listen to many genres, longtime faves include #jungle #dancehall #dub #ukgarage #kuduro #gqom #dembow #soca #rocksteady #breakcore #champeta #cumbia #footwork for djing I lean strongly towards heavy #bass and broken/swung/triplet beats.
