Techno producer, DJ, Internet provocateur, and operator of the MoMAPS5 account He Valencia joins Adam and Ben for a freewheeling discussion about neoliberalism's pulverizations of art, politics, and everything else in its path. He Valencia discusses the suffocating wokeness thrown his way in the electronic music world, versus the genre's history as a proletarian art form that transcended racial boundaries. Beyond that, we talk about Killer Mike's recent controversy by doing actual politics and being effective at actual politics (fuck the haters Mike, you a real one!), our class reducing daddy Adolph Reed taking petty snipes at queen Angela Nagle (what's up with that, Adolph?), and He Valencia's burgeoning friendship with pop music's last free thinker Azealia Banks.

(note: Adam mentioned industrial musician and artist Boyd Rice being connected to the alt-right, Boyd has never claimed allegiance to the alt-right and Adam meant to only emphasize what art world progressives have mislabeled Boyd as, the air quotes did not come through on the recording)

(Note: towards the end of the episode, Adam mentions that a gallery owning friend of his gets shit for now showing enough white artists, he meant black artists*)
