All the best stuff happening in NYC & virtually!!
RAGE (After Tokyo 2020) DJ Mars89’s new mix in response to the Tokyo Olympics—and in opposition to hollow celebrations of national identity and false displays of unity. Moving between speeches, industrial noise, deconstructions of traditional Japanese instruments, and protest music, Mars89 channels the widespread anger at the Olympics: a self-aggrandizing indulgence pushed through by the country’s elites during a pandemic, at incredible cost to the people. The mix is published as part of Unknown States, an issue devoted to the fictions that give rise to nations and nationalities. Listen here
