ELECTRONIC POLITICS
Hosted by Luis Hewitt / EXHERMITT
First Year Law Student at Mansfield
OVERVIEW
ELECTRONIC POLITICS is a show exploring the use of electronic music as a political tool, for all kinds of causes and throughout many eras. Beginning as one of the most inaccessible genres, electronic music has slowly developed into a powerful vessel for subculture, handing back the power of innovation to the people themselves outside oppressive structures of conformity.
Each week focuses on how a specific theme has been presented meaningfully across a wide range of electronic-based subgenres, or explores the history of a specific movement. Each episode ends in a request from the student body and beyond for a song with a personal political meaning, and each season ends with an interview featuring a pioneering electronic artist whose music has influenced the show.
Feel free to send requests, ideas and discussions to mans4819@ox.ac.uk
