NOBODY IS LISTENING

What happens when the parties you throw for yourself end up meaning the world to others? In this tender and beautifully candid conversation, Kesh -musician, accidental promoter, and community dreamer reflects on how a string of DIY gatherings evolved into something much deeper.

Kesh talks on the significance of sound systems and shared spaces, and how music can be both loud and gentle -a place to have it out, and a place to be held. Kesh shares stories of the friends and mentors who shaped this journey, the power of creating inclusive spaces, and the honest chaos of building something magical.

Backstage at Loco Klub in Bristol, this episode features an exclusive interview with Stand High Patrol, the pioneering French collective known for their signature dubadub sound - a fusion of dub, hip hop, jazz, and steppa influences. Since forming in 2000, the group has built an independent path through the underground scene, running their own label and sound system. We speak with Rootystep and Mac Gyver about the philosophy behind Stand High, their production methods, and how they’ve maintained creative control over two decades of music.
