Drexciya Special on Bass Agenda and more


This is a link for Bass Agenda's 3 hour Drexciya Special on Deep Space Radio. It was great being interviewed by Andy Barton and reminded that DRL has now been going for 15 years!

Part 1 - Interview & selections from Abdullah Qadim Haqq, the man behind the artwork for the seminal Neptune's Lair album and the forthcoming Book of Drexciya Vol 1.

Part 2 - Interview & selections from Stephen Rennicks, the man behind Drexciya Research Lab - the 'go to' resource for all things Drexciya and James Stinson/Gerald Donald related.

Part 3 - Interview with James Stinson, conducted and recorded by Andrew Duke in 1999, remastered by Alavux for Bass Agenda.

This is a new piece on Bandcamp, an excellent introductory guide to Drexciya's music by Albert Freeman.

I found the Aivina Vishnu Soundcloud, there are four tracks there not on the album on WeMe.

I asked a question on the DRL FB about who William Scott is (he is listed as 'liaison' and presented as a full member in the early Dopplereffekt records). One reader suggested one very interesting possibility. While it may just be a coincidence, a William Scott is said to have been the spark for the infamous Detroit riot of 1967, the legacy of which is still felt there to this day. It's a fascinating piece of Detroit's social history anyway.

Check out upcoming Dopplereffekt and Arpanet shows.

Great interview with DJ and producer Elena Sizova (Der Zyklus Renormalon collaborator).
