We’re launching the Dance Policy YouTube channel! Head over to the link in bio or read the story online. In a Chicago stadium, in 1979, Rock n’ Roll fans gathered in their thousands to destroy disco records. Described as a “party that got out of hand” by some, and a “book burning” by others. Disco Demolition Night remains a divisive subject to this day.

Lawyer to Garage MC In 2002, MC Creed (@mccreedmusic ) took the legal professional George Lubega under his wing for 4 weeks to make him into a Garage MC. He needed to transform a straight edge, who held no experience in the underground scene, into a fully fledged MC, against three other contestants and three judges.
 The show, ‘faking it’ produced by Channel 4 took people from their professions into a contrasting role they wouldn’t otherwise find themselves in. It ran from 2000 to 2006, with 34 episodes. Absolutely great archive piece with some familiar faces, such as Pay As You Go Cartel, archive footage of London, and fashions of the year. All rights belong to Channel Four, don’t sue us please. This was 24 years ago chilllll.

INSIDE THE MIND OF MF DOOM SINCE THE RECENT BBC SOUNDS PODCAST WAS BAD, HERE’S SOME REAL INSIGHTS INTO DOOMS MIND, DELVING INTO GRIEF, FAILURE, SUN RA, HIS PERSONA, BENDING SOUND, AND KEEPING SANITY. TAKEN FROM AN INTERVIEW WITH SWEDISH RADIO, P3 SOUL (@p3soul ), CONDUCTED OVER THE LATE 2000s WITH SOME OTHER STUFF MIXED IN THAT IDK WHERE IT CAME FROM. I RECOMMEND LISTENING TO THE WHOLE 2 HOUR INTERVIEW, THE PRESENTER SOUNDS LIKE A REALL VILLAIN WHICH IS FUNNY. IT WILL GIVE YOU MORE INTERESTING INFO THAN THE BBC WILL. FOOTAGE EDITED & LAID OVER VOICE BY ME.

Budots: The Soundtrack to Y2K nostalgia If you’ve been anywhere near Instagram or TikTok in 2025, you would have seen Budots appear on your feed.  A viral trend made famous by a group of nurses dancing on Tiktok, its repetitive beats and off-kilter dance moves have become synonymous with Philippine culture and helped cement Budots on the global music scene. Writer @ellemdforrest traces the genres history , interviews pioneering musician @djlove_sherwintuna and seeks to understand it’s impact on Filipino culture. ✍️ @ellemdforrest Edited by @sophieyaubillington.director
