Avantwhatever.net is calling for applications for the next round of our financially supported server residencies, happening Jan-March 2023. We collectively run a low power server on unceded Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung land, in an effort to build a shared online space and help people host their own stuff. Applications close Dec 14. More info at https://avantwhatever.net/#applications-title and boosts very welcome :)

You can now listen back to my 2 hours takeover of Space Africa NTS radio show last night, an extended version of my mix at Ohm Berlin from last August. From an oil field to a black hole to the waves of the Atlantic and Mediterranean, you go back and forward in time through mostly sounds of the afro / diasporic imagination 🌍🌎

For the context: I had done this selection at the occasion of the release event of DeForrest Brown Jr.'s book "Assembling a Black Counter Culture" here in Berlin, which I highly recommend to read. It reframes the history of techno with a focus on the history of Black experiences in industrialized labor systems, all the while detaching the word from the electronic dance music industry and repositioning the genre in the history of experimental music.

I have a radio show on @bffdotfm called Shadowtime. You can find it at bff.fm/shows/shadowtime.

I often collect short voice memos from listeners and my larger communities to intermix with music and audio storytelling.

For next week's Shadowtime I want to hear from you about how you stay warm in the winter - physically, emotionally...any favorite rituals or sweaters or candles or food or gatherings?

Send me a short voice memo here by December 6th: http://bff.fm/shadowtime-voicememo.

the digital lit publication i've been putting together for a while now is live! https://crawlspace.cool w six pieces of interactive/multimedia poetry ✨

Yet another article linking soya (and beef and palm oil) to tropical deforestation, yet failing to point out that just 6% of all soya produced globally is consumed directly by humans. The remainder becomes soya meal used as livestock feed (75%), and some biofuels. Further, next to none of the soya grown in the Amazon Basin, Gran Chaco or anywhere in the tropics becomes tofu. Articles like this feed myths that soy based human foods cannot be part of the solution https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/nov/12/food-firms-plans-15c-climate-target-fall-short-campaigners-aoe
