Agit Disco
a project by Stefan Szczelkun
by Stefan Szczelkun
23 playlists selected by stars of the London underground and beyond. People were invited to contribute a CD length playlist of songs that had effected them politically in their lives. Actual CDRs were made and exchanged in the process of accumulating the material. These homemade CDs provide illustrations to each playlist.
The idea was that the political nature of music is diluted by the commercial outlets and mass media selectors and has been for about a century or more. Our task is to extract this political music and to make it audible. The true nature of working class music is that it is much more political than is apparent to most regular consumers. We need to become much more active and articulate as selectors and not accept what is served up to us by the mass media.
There is/was a mirror on Youtube by Caroline Heron.
