BCB009 — The Silence Of The Juuls feat Selwa Abd

This week’s Base Camp Beta, our ninth episode, features Moroccan-born, New York-based special guest Selwa Abd, better known by her musical alias Bergsonist, with bonus appearance by Greg Zifcak aka Wav Dwgs and part of Eats Tapes. We talk the vagaries of sharing and discovering music in the digital era, playing live shows with very little to no prior experience, going out on a Tuesday night to see your friends spin Krautrock records to a crowd of four (yourself included) at bars with names like “Daddy’s,” the encroaching tide of professionalism in underground electronic music, the dearth of actual physical community/social spaces for musicians and music fans, and Pick Up The Flow, a NYC-based attempt to remedy that lack of community, founded by Selwa herself. Music-wise, we talk a classic Wax Trax cut by Dwayne and cEvin from Skinny Puppy with Bill Leeb on vox; Model 500's “Pick Up The Flow,” the inspiration for the previously mentioned DIY sharing community; and contemporary trap and hip-hop from Morocco. Oh, and we talk about Gong. Yeah, Gong. Way to kill the vibe, Shawn.
