Playlist: Power of a Soundsystem
Power Of A Soundsystem – a Free Word event, part of our Finding Power In Isolation season. Now archived on our Instagram feed @freewordcentre
Our Finding Power In Isolation season finale brought the soundsystem to your phone. The Instagram live reflected on the heritage of soundsystem culture in the UK as a form of resistance and community and brought together intergenerational reflections on its legacy from memories to evolving sounds with musician and DJ Gladdy Wax, founder of CAYA soundsystem Thali Lotus, the uniquely eclectic DJ and producer Shy One, DJ and Presenter Texas Ranger and Radio Presenter Robbo Ranx. Hosted by DJ and presenter Erica Mckoy. See below for the captured session:
