#151: trust nothing sweet (with Merkeba, NYC)
This time on the pano I welcome into the fold the homie and NYC-based curator Merkeba. His project a Metal Snake came onto my radar during a birthday trip up to NYC (s/o always PTP), and it’s been steady in rotation ever since.
Merkeba’s music taste is excellent. His guest mix, in his own words, “attempts to trace the influence of dub reggae and dancehall in many underground music traditions around the world. We are the originators of so much of what ppl now call experimentation and imagination. Many homies in the mix as well.”
Lineage and origin, influence and appreciation. See above shout-out.
As always I open and close.
Stay safe and sane; see you next year,
Straw
