SUPERTOUCH SERIES by 3rdCrush published on 2023-03-28T20:14:54Z Episodes of my 4-hour show residency on Subcity Radio. Supertouch is a reaction to the processes that are grinding down creativity, freedom, and human connection, not just in the club scene in Glasgow, but virtually every arts scene in the developed world. Electronic music is more popular than ever, but the money comes in, and disappears. Club-goers don’t have enough of it, artists don’t have enough of it, and DIY promoters don’t have enough of it. Music becomes centralised, clubbing becomes gentrified, and art gets stagnant; breaking up healthy communities and becoming less safe. Festivals end up dominating, and quantity is prioritised over quantity. DJs don’t get longer than an hour (if that), and bands don’t get paid. The time constriction is arm-twisted further by conservative frameworks of the urban day-night cycle. It’s actively encouraged by shortening attention spans and the dominance of algorithmic, short-form content. All of this ultimately exerts enormous pressure on the real, lovely people that occupy these spaces, and the influence of capital on creativity is huge. Sound familiar? potentially the longest(?) DIY radio show in Glasgow / techno radio show in Scotland. This concept is heavily inspired by the work of @FreddyK and his “Virus” long-haul radio show from the 90s. Also, “Supertouch” is a reference to Bad Brains, because techno culture is inseparable from punk culture.
