What would a new club economy look like? Part 2 with Richie Hawtin

The second part of our discussion facilitated in collaboration with Sonar +D and Ars Electronica.

Particularly excited to share this one, where we reflect upon what foundations of the club economy appear to be most exposed by the current crisis, discuss Richie's work with AFEM to help get producers paid, and speculate on the possibility of new and necessary economic relationships between DJ's and producers under a guild model.

Weird (but good) week

Hey all,

we decided to not post an ep this week. Basically last week we recorded an episode with someone (who I think is a pretty exciting addition to the discussion) in partnership with a festival, and miscalculated when we might be able to release it to you all. On top of that another discussion we had planned to record got postponed from their side. C'est la vie.

We figured that these things will happen, and rather than panic to pull together an episode from nowhere it is perha...
