In this episode Tim and Jeremy continue the story of the NYC Record Pool. We hear how the Pool invited the record labels to their inaugural meeting in the basement of David Mancuso's Prince Street Loft, the demands they made of them, and the egalitarian way they wished the Pool to be organised. These techniques of self organisation and collective self-assertion are set against the wider contemporary context of political and social movements of the New Left.
We also hear about feedback forms, the changing status of the DJ as a professional category, modern platform capitalism, and how the DJs of the Pool staged a sit-in protest at the offices of a record company who refused to play ball.
