Tweet“Where’s The Daddy?” featuring M.I.A., is one of several previously unreleased tracks set to appear on Guns Don’t Kill People…Lazers Do (15th Anniversary Edition), an expanded reissue of the group’s seminal 2009 debut album, is coming November 15th on Mad Decent.
TweetOn his latest full-length, Low End Activist swerves towards weightless grime and suspended hardcore miniatures to tell a very personal story. The UK-rooted producer continues his habit of zeroing in on a distinct approach for each release, leaving a logical breadcrumb trail of soundsystem science in his wake as he channels decades of bass absorption into 14 atmospheric cuts that prize patience and precision over obvious club functionality.
Municipal Dreams plays out as a semi-autobiographical tour through the Blackbird Leys estate that the Activist grew up on. It’s a lived reflection on inequality and the ripple effect it has in working class communities, using the sonic palette to set the mood and scattering pointed samples throughout to spell out the story.

TweetRegardless of the medium, Radin’s practice is centered in an embodied knowledge formed by his background in dance as well as by growing up between the Caribbean island of Guadeloupe and France. For Radin, the Black subjects of his paintings, sculptures, performances, and films are carriers of memory and movement. Movement that tells a story of deep spirituality, inherited, linked to ancient knowledge, yet still evolving and alive.
Old Soul – New Soul ties into Radin’s core belief in the importance of intergenerational knowledge and listening between one’s elders as well as the new generation. The exhibition presents Radin’s practice through painting, sculpture, and performance. On the first floor, in the window space, one encounters an installation composed of wooden dominoes and Ka Spirit drums. This installation establishes the distinctly Caribbean rhythm of the exhibition. The sculptures are hand-carved from wood decorated with figures and staining, and embellished with appliqués. In their very essence, these works are intergenerational, as Radin’s uncle—a master in Gwo Ka music—first shapes the drum before the artist carves and paints it intricately by hand. The oversized dominoes also pay tribute to everyday life in Guadeloupe, as they remind us of the game played by people of all ages. Although deceptively simple in its rules, to play dominoes well requires both mathematic skills and cunning strategy.
