麻豆约拍

Jennifer Lucy Allan shares a mixtape curated by Time Cow, one member of the forward-thinking Jamaican collective Equiknoxx. Based in Kingston, Equiknoxx are a group of producers and vocalists who blend dancehall with eclectic samples, glitchy rhythms and other experiments in sound. The collective has been around for over a decade and is currently a five-piece, with founding members Gavin ‘Gavsborg’ Blair and Bobby Blackbird, vocalists Shanique Marie and Kemikal Splash, and long-time producer Jordan Chung aka Time Cow. Time Cow compiles the mixtape on behalf of the group, reflecting their varied influences and tastes, from Ennio Morricone to the dancehall vibes of Buccaneer, taking in Japanese psych, library music, French pop along the way.

Elsewhere in the show, there’ll be cosmic country guitar from Bobby Lee, experimental Tuareg folk from Sahel trio Les Filles de Illighadad, and some loose crooning dubs from Keith Hudson. Plus an unearthed live recording of Japanese underground musician Phew performing with sound artists John Duncan and Tatsuo Kondo in 1982 at Tokyo’s Hosei University.
