Description

“Everyone whose listening… go off the grid!”Sage advice from this weeks guest on Lost and Sound - musical polymath King Britt, beaming in from San Diego. Right now, he’s taken a lifetime in DJing, producing, remixing and just being an all round presence in electronic music’s evolution into the realms of education. We had a chat about whitewashing in electronic music and the need to have access to the lesser documented history.Along the way we took in his roots from 5 year old King DJing at his Dad’s barber shop in Philly, the legendary Silk City in Philadelphia, forming partnerships with Josh Wink and Digable Planets, about his university course Blacktronica: Afrofuturism in Electronic Music - researching and honouring the people of colour, who've pioneered groundbreaking genres within the electronic music and even taking a trip into the future. His advice for future music? Go off the grid! What does that mean? You’ll have to listen to find out. Enjoy!If you’re listening the week this episode comes out and want to get involved, check out Blacktronika presents Sound for Humanity, a series of performances by six music creative artists, who were asked to think about sound, not only in its sonic definition (noun) but sound as an adjective (sound mind) and verb (sound the alarm), and how their choices will contribute in some way to humanity.
