Black Audio Society is a collective effort lead by Gum.mp3 for the conservation and enjoyment of black music. The aim is to identify sociopolitical context, analyze the development and mixture of genres over time, and imagine the future of black music in both theory and practice. Through guest mixes and periodic deep dives into the history of this music, B.A.S. serves as an alternative destination for black music discovery and appreciation.

This month’s episode features a recording of Swami Sound’s set from our joint performance at Warehouse on Watts for Farewell All Caps Studio, a celebration of the brand and community project spearheaded by Saeed Ferguson and supported by an array of Philly homies. For the first hour, I play some selects on vinyl.
