Black Audio Society
01.14.22

Please enjoy this introductory mix as the first episode of this project. With sounds ranging from downtempo and soulful Detroit house, to tech-house and garage, this mix aims to pique your interest while showcasing Gum.mp3’s personal taste. Related literature, recommended listening, and videos can be found below or on Dirty Bird’s website.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
B.A.S. is a collective effort lead by Gum.mp3 to evaluate the genealogy of black music.
The format is more like homies sharing with each other, and less like a music history professor boring you to death. With help from friends and peers, an assortment of reading materials, recommended listening, and questions to consider will be assembled. We don’t have all the answers, but we hope you’ll find them with us.
