GOOD MIX

Dekmantel Podcast 171 - The Maghreban

Posted by 0 site •

R&S-signed producer The Maghreban (above) makes Dekmantel a "masterful mega mix of sounds and scenes and styles [from cosmic disco to horror soundtracks] that really shouldn’t go together, but they do."

GOOD READ

Ta-Nehisi Coates for The Atlantic on Kanye West in the age of Donald Trump:

"Kurt Cobain’s death was a great tragedy for his legions of fans. Tupac’s was a tragedy for an entire people. When brilliant black artists fall down on the stage, they don’t fall down alone."

Thanks for listening!
