Description
Episode 12 contains the second part of my conversation with Christoph Fringeli. We discuss his move to South London from Basel at the start of the 90's and how he started a new record label called Praxis in order to release some of the harder electronic music he was making and hearing at parties and on the radio airwaves in the city. We also chat about Dead by Dawn, the legendary monthly party, held at the 121 Centre in Railton Road, Brixton during the mid 90's that combined all night techno mayhem with talks and writing from the subcultural and political underground. We finish our talk by recalling some early internet explorations and how Christoph started Datacide magazine to as he describes "release articles and cover experimental electronic music, from the avant-garde to hard dance music, its intersections with radical politics and counterculture, in-depth political and historical analysis and critique as well as experimental fiction, poetry and visual works".
