Intimate Sounds of the Four Continents Episode #2 

Intimate Sounds of the Four Continents combines Lisa Lowe’s theories and music from around the world to create intellectually stimulating sonic experience. DJ Miu created this radio show with a mission to spread the message: “Freedom is Yet to Come.” I encourage listeners to take the time to read, write, and resist. We require inoculations that repel the seductions of corporate servitude. Cauleen Smith told us. Starting with reading Lisa Lowe’s writing. Reading is Fundamental. 

Episode #2

This month’s episode features Thao and The Get Down, Stay Down, Star Feminine Band, Taj Majal, and Tohur Aizawa Quartet. Sounds from Cambodia, Benin, Americas, and so much more.

With winter coming in the northern hemisphere, I was inspired by music that ponders, wanders, and lingers. A time of reflection of the change from mercury retrograde and the stillness in this Scorpio season and recent Scorpio eclipse and the current mars in retrograde in Gemini. All that to say, reflect on your desires, needs, and goals. Be honest, truly honest about where you are and where you want to be. Send compassion to yourself and those around you. Listen to this set and allow yourself to transmute these energies by meditation and sonic medicine.

About the DJ

My name is Paige Chung. I am a writer, skater, poet, and turntablist-in-training. My last project Nail Trap is juicier than your neighborhood gossip and my current project is hotter than your cousin’s mixtape. Based in LA, but I roll everywhere and go by DJ Miu. I am currently enrolled at the Beat Junkies Institute of Sound. 

Lastly, special shoutout to my DJ crew 730 Faders. Catch us throwing the next best party in LA and coming near you. And my deep study crew Quinnette, Zahara, Discott and the Soul in the Horn family.
