  • What's club and dancefloor etiquette in 2024? (with Cassidy George)
    Oct 31 2024

    We love to go out to clubs and have a good time with friends and strangers alike. But anytime you're on a crowded dancefloor, not everyone’s going to be on the same page when it comes to appropriate behavior. The way we all act and interact can make or break a night, but these expectations can also be hard to pin down, and vary widely depending on the city, scene, and personal preferences. In this episode, 032c editor Cassidy George joins Juba and Kikelomo to talk about the best dancefloor etiquette, their unwritten rules of clubbing, and the different trends affecting how people party in 2024.

  • How do we feel about posthumous albums? (with Christa Belle)
    Oct 24 2024

    In September, the visionary electronic producer SOPHIE released what was promoted as her final album, three years after her tragic passing. And people had a lot of opinions on it – as they usually do with music that comes out after an artist's death, whether it's Tupac, Avicii, Lil Peep, DJ Rashad, Prince, or many, many others. There are moral and musical questions to consider. So this week, Kikelomo and Juba are joined by artist, curator and cultural commentator Christa Belle to talk through the complicated emotions posthumous releases inspire.

  • Can you copyright a rhythm? (with Oscar Atanga)
    Oct 17 2024

    That's what the Jamaican production duo Steely & Clevie are trying to do, with an ongoing lawsuit claiming ownership of the so-called "dembow" riddim – the basis for reggaeton worldwide. It's one of the most significant music copyright cases of the last decades, with significant and widespread implications for both the mainstream music world and underground dance music. To discuss the questions and possibilities that the lawsuit raises, Kikelomo and Otto Kent are joined by Oscar Atanga, a resident of the African Acid is the Future collective and Refuge Worldwide Berlin.
