I would not have called this my favorite cut on the album, but tonight it is massaging my brain in a most pleasant way. I had to play it twice. Might even play it again.

Choosing to interpret this satellite imagery as proof of #Drexciya's ongoing presence in the Great Lakes. #techno #afrofuturism
Decided to go with some classic cuts this #BandcampFriday

Speaking of #BandcampFriday, here's some music you might give a try:
- #BeautyPill, a DC-based project that's basically Chad Clark spreading sonic awesomeness, often with amazing co-conspirators: https://beautypill.bandcamp.com/ (I'd start with Blue Period, Describes Things as They Are, or Cigarette Girl from the Future, personally.)
- #Elecktroids's "Elektroworld" is one of my faves of the many, many #Drexciya-related projects. https://cloneclassiccuts.bandcamp.com/album/elektroworld This same label (Clone) has many of the other Drexciyan albums / compilations.
- #CreationRebel's "Starship Africa" is more of a "dub from way out" sound than the rest of their albums. Even if reggae and dub aren't typically your bag, this atypical classic is at least worth a listen. https://creationrebel.bandcamp.com/album/starship-africa
Great article by Helen Scales on how the mythical subaquatic empire of #Drexciya is inspiring a real movement to memorialize the horrific Middle Passage.
Drexciya: how Afrofuturism is inspiring calls for an ocean memorial to slavery
"The alternative Black history of a deep-sea civilisation has planted the seed for proposals to memorialise the 1.8 million Africans who died in the Atlantic"

Another one for Past, Present, Future:
Drexciya - Antivapor Waves

This might seem like an odd selection at first. Sure, very futuristic sounds, heavy rolling bassline, but what's the deal?
Then you learn the guys behind Drexciya - Gerald Donald and James Stinson - created a whole world and culture in their music, the Drexciyans. Undersea dwellers. The descendants of drowned pregnant slaves, thrown overboard crossing the Atlantic, who survived and prospered under the water, away from humans and our prejudices.

“What will the implications be for humanity? Who will benefit and who will suffer? These are the important questions that we as a society must seriously ask ourselves. We are all atomic and subatomic particles and we are all wireless”
Would be remiss not to post some #Drexciya this #Juneteenth

the first time Drexciya played in Italy my partner and I do the warm up. The grandeur of this Maestro in Italy was not yet understood, and we were among the few in Italy to play these things. The event was organized in Bologna at the millenium club. Epic night. 2003. After finishing our set it was an honor for us to receive your congratulations.

Drexciya “Black Sea” 2020 repress (Clone Aqualung Series) NL
45RPM
Side 2 has a locked groove at the beginning so you just hear silence unless you catch the groove closer in. It also ends with a locked groove and there is a large gap of deadwax before the second track aptly titled “Wavejumper” in essence you have to manually jump the wave to get to that track. The track title info is etched into that deadwax in between cuts. This is art.

Last weekend we heard some intellectual takes on #afrofuturism #AncientEgypt & #BlackVisualArts
This block focused on #illustration in album and #comicbook art. The highlight was hearing #AbdulHaqq talk about some of his cover designs for #DetroitTechno releases and the books of #Drexciya which are very scarce. More importantly he had a few copies for sale! We got both volumes and 2 prints!
