We're living in strange times here in Toronto as things start opening. More than half of the city is fully vaccinated, and things are changing. We wanted to reach out to folks within the scene to see where they're at with moving forward.We recognize the folks who contributed their voices are from countries where vaccinations are generally accessible. Currently, the global south is experiencing an apocalyptic situation due to a lack of access to affordable vaccines. There have been efforts to waive the patents to these publicly funded, desperately needed vaccines in order to increase manufacturing and lower costs, but several first world leaders are actively blocking that effort. The ever-evolving variants threaten to undermine all of our efforts. Unless you have a medical condition that prohibits you from being jabbed, please go get vaccinated.This pandemic is a global problem and needs a global solution and until all of us are safe, none of us are.Our guests:DJs Arcanus & Motia of Xiled Radiohttps://www.xiledradio.com/Brian Graupnerhttps://thegothsicles.bandcamp.com/DJ Urielhttps://www.mixcloud.com/mistressmccutchan/sounds-ov-thee-shadows-mixtape-edition-with-uriel-may-2020/DJ Darkwavehttps://www.mixcloud.com/DJDarkwave/Mari Kattmanhttps://marikattman.bandcamp.com/Tara Van Flowerhttps://lycia.bandcamp.com/DJ Azy Batshttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYpDKDYdNkpAPtzkjW1_6EwClinthttps://bloodbells.bandcamp.com/releasesThe New Orderhttps://www.mixcloud.com/TheNewOrder/DJ Cyberpaganhttps://www.death-rock.de/DJ Mortasha Kinskihttps://www.mixcloud.com/DJ_Kinski/Steven Archerhttp://www.egolikeness.com/Matt Harthttps://matthart.bandcamp.com/
