Carhartt WIP Radio April 2023: The Myth Of Drexciya by Carhartt Work in Progress published on 2023-03-29T14:02:33Z This month’s Carhartt WIP Radio show features @deforrest-brown-jr, a writer and cultural theorist based in New York, who also makes music under the name @speakermusic. In 2022, Brown Junior released his first book “Assembling a Black Counter Culture”, which in his own words, is a “historical science-fiction book about Black contributions to the electronic music industry.” The book opens with a map from the album “The Quest”, by legendary Detroit electronic duo @drexciyaofficial, composed of James Stinson and Gerald Donald – who are the primary focus of this month episode’s mix. Created by Brown Jr., “The Myth of Drexciya” is a mix which features a sprawling selection of Drexciya’s discography from 1991 to 2002, revealing the “sonic fiction of the underwater civilizations’ aquatic invasion of the surface world.” The mix is accompanied by an interview with Brown Jr., who discusses collaborating with Detroit visual artist Abdul Qadim Haqq on his recent book, the influence that Drexciya have had on his work, and the best scenarios to enjoy their music in.
