In honor of pride month, DJ Miss Kitty is focusing on the fabulous queer/drag ballroom music scene of 1970s/80s/90s New York. We’re talking disco, house, vogue…WERKING IT!

“Ballroom, ball, or house culture has been a way for queer blacks and Latinos to respond to a society that devalued their lives and attempted to erase their presence. Through elaborate performances incorporating and commenting on race, class, and gender, the ball community has historically reflected the American Dream and one’s exclusion from it.” –BY LESTER FABIAN BRATHWAITE

Cause and Effect presents:

No, we’re not talking about the Pittsburgh pirates or the swashbuckling sort, today’s Cause & Effect episode takes a look at the Pirate Radio movement.

In 1964, there was nowhere easy for British youth to listen to rock ‘n’ rollers like The Beatles, The Who and The Rolling Stones. Commercial radio wasn’t yet an option, and the guardians of the publicly-owned British Broadcasting Corporation considered such music immoral, antisocial and unfit for public broadcast. Yet just three years later, on Sept. 30, 1967 — the BBC switched on the transmitters of Radio 1, the country’s first dedicated popular music station. What happened to change their minds? The answer to that question — and the story of how pop music came to the FM dial in the U.K. — involves illegal offshore broadcasters AKA PIRATE RADIO.

Drive around some parts of London today and you’re still liable to hear mainstream radio broadcasts drowned out by fleeting bursts of unfamiliar music. Pirate radio stations have been illegally hijacking the FM dial since the 1990s, but while the pirate scene is far smaller than it was in its heyday, the influence of pirate radio has endured and the movement is still thriving on a local scale, and a vibrant array of online-only stations are inspired by the energy and spirit of the pirates.

Finding Sounds Ep6: with Scim

“For ACCESSCODE TALKER”

4/15 @ OSB w/

Scim, Mina Mills, I.D.E., SPRIAL INSTINCT, and deskulling

Scim is a sound designer, programmer, and musician in Philadelphia by way of Chicago. Their music oscillates between sound exploration and total form, using the vernacular of electronic music as a tool for newness. We have had many conversations about the state of the art and I am happy to call them a friend. They are playing in Richmond April 15, details listed above. For this episode, they made a 34-min mix of music mostly from friends and synaptically related material.

Also in this episode is a 30 minute track selection from myself, deskulling, which includes recently released tracks, and some new artists I like. After that hour, I re-aired a mix/sound collage I made for last week’s guest ARIGTO in Dec 2021 called “Struggling Mass, Sagittarian Jupiter”, for their show zerrüttet on HKCR (linked below).
