Peace & Love w/Jemima Dove

Between Samhain and Yule is a time of encroaching darkness; so make our days full of light, love, kindness and empathy. In being Kind, we have to be Truthful, and hearing the truth can be painful. In doing so let’s commit to a lifelong journey of understanding yourself and the world from a non-Eurocentric perspective. Todays’ episode brings together psychedelic soul, shoe-gaze, dream-pop, protest poetry, pastoral samples and folk myths and uncategorisable electronica.

A small collection of documentaries and footage focusing on music production in the 80s (plus some 70s but not too much) – the 80s was perhaps one of the most fascinating periods in electronic music because of the crossover of analogue to early digital and how the level of tactile physicality in effects production starts to disappear – now its just mouse clicks on laptops or pad sets…
