BCB027 - Construction Time Again Apr 01, 2020

Show notes

It’s Season 2 of Base Camp Beta and we’re back from a break of what seems like 20 years. We talk about Coronavirus (obviously), its impact on underground music, and (hopefully) the death of the neoliberal order. We then dive into Depeche Mode’s undersung masterpiece “Construction Time Again” and try to imagine the eco-communist future we all deserve. *patreon* *patreon* *patreon* www.patreon.com/basecampbeta *patreon* *patreon* *patreon* Opening music: Beau Wanzer - Basement Dwellers basecampbeta808@gmail.com

BCB023 - 3 - Clubland And Its Discontents Part 3 - Veronica Vasicka And Stuart Argabright Nov 15, 2019

Show notes

Unfortunately the recording of the second panel with Sybil Jason and Ryan Martin got screwed up. The demons of the Zoom recorder strike again. So here is the third and final installment of "Clubland and Its Discontents" - a series of panel discussions exploring the dialectics of dance and non-dance in the New York Underground in collaboration with the Interzone festival. On this panel we talk about the late 70s and early 80s in New York with Veronica Vasicka of Minimal Wave records and Stuart Argabright of Black Rain and Ike Yard. Recorded live at Good Room in Greenpoint. Special thanks to Zara Wladawsky and Richard Gamble. Mastered by David Tatasciore.
