Raouf B Grissa

Theme (feat Dan Drohan)
RBGxDD 2023 via Uno Loop
a note about this track

"Theme" is the first single from the RBGxDD LP and it represents an homage to jazz, hip hop, and timeless afro grooves. The album features Raouf himself, Dan Drohan (Nick Hakim, Olden Yolk, Andrew VanWyngarden of MGMT), Jarrett Gilgore (Heart of the Ghost, Jaimie Branch), and Kafari (Sudan Archives, Pink Siifu). Raouf shares, "My friend / collaborator / fellow DJ in New York, Bobbie Johnston, and I started Uno Loop a few years ago. Initially, it was a platform to share vinyl mixes digitally and via cassette mixes, but it evolved to focus more on original releases and back catalog re-issue projects with older artists we’ve been able to meet over the years."

Children's Advocacy Center (click for more info)

The Children's Advocacy Center leads the local effort in supporting suspected victims of child sexual abuse, as well as providing community education to prevent such assaults.

Talking about child sexual abuse is emotionally challenging ... but what's even harder is ignoring the facts.

One in ten children will be sexually abused before they turn 18.

If a child tells you they've been abused... it's crucial that you carefully listen, believe them, and report it to police or CPS.

FEN FEN

Bad Taste
Fen Fen 2023 via Independent
a note about this track

Named in reference to a deadly weight-loss drug, Fen Fen is what happens when pent-up musicians form a band in a dystopian, pandemic-riddled world and ask an ICU nurse to "scream into this microphone". Their songs fluctuate from frantic and wild to menacing and fuzz-drenched.
