Cabaret Voltaire are no one thing. Depending on which corner of the internet you found us from, you might know them as the caustic Sheffield noise act who preceded post-punk, the sinister electro-industrial outfit with a penchant for evangelical samples and anti-fascist agitprop, or the dancefloor-adjacent act who fetched up on Factory's Belgian satellite label and made something close to club music. You're all correct.This week, we have a guide. Phil Eaglesham — P6, former front person of Stretchheads and De Salvo, current singer in OMO, musical walking tour operator, man of broad and alarming musical learnings — is here to help us navigate one of the most complex and wilfully uncommercial bands to come out of the UK, via their transitional compilation Eight Crepuscule Tracks.We trace the band's origins in a Sheffield attic in 1973, chart their debts to dub, Black American music, and the sci-fi soundscapes that shaped a generation of working-class ears, and make the case that Cabaret Voltaire — despite their apparent difficulty — were one of the most industrious and fundamentally political bands of their era. We also get into their time at Western Works Studio, which functioned less like a recording facility and more like the gravitational centre of an entire Sheffield scene; their complicated relationship with Rough Trade; and their connections to Joy Division, Lydia Lunch, Clock DVA, and the bands that would become the Human League and ABC.Along the way, Phil brings original artefacts including a signed 1979 TG/Cab Vol/Rema Rema poster from Tottenham Court Road, and the original 12-inches the album is built from. We also ask what would have happened to Cabaret Voltaire without punk — and conclude they'd likely have ended up an academic footnote rather than a foundational text.

Link -InstagramLink-- Spotify Check out newest single here --- https://youtu.be/sio_SSI90U0?si=wP84yfFDBnCLvlL3BioManiac Mike is not the product of a polished industry narrative he is the result of pressure that didn't break him, but strengthened him. Born and raised in Cocoa Beach, Florida, Mike grew up surrounded by sharp contrasts. On one side were beaches, tourism, and visible wealth; on the other, struggle, survival, and constant tension. His upbringing was defined by instability rather than comfort, shaping a mindset rooted in resilience and self-reliance from an early age. The name “Maniac Mike” was not created for entertainment it was earned through lived experience. Multiple periods of incarceration became pivotal in shaping his perspective. Time spent navigating the realities of the system courtrooms, isolation, lost time, and broken trust left a lasting impact. Unlike many artists, Mike doesn't draw from observation or assumption; his music is grounded in firsthand experience. It was during incarceration that his connection to music truly began. In an environment stripped of distraction, he turned inward. Writing became more than expression it became a necessary outlet for processing reality and maintaining his mental strength. Upon release, he returned with a renewed sense of purpose and a voice defined by authenticity. Maniac Mike's music is not driven by trends or mainstream appeal. It is built on lived experience pain, betrayal, survival, and reflection. His sound carries the grit of Florida with a darker, emotionally charged edge, delivered through raw and uncompromising storytelling. His work is not designed for comfort, but for impact challenging listeners to confront the truth within his lyrics. He is not focused on becoming the biggest artist. His focus is on being the most authentic voice in the room. For those who have lived through similar realities, his music doesn't just resonate it reflects.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/creator-to-creators-with-meosha-bean--4460322/support.

YOUR RELATIONSHIP GOT SKILLS… BUT IS IT ANOINTED? Black Music Born Under Duress — Is Black Love Born Under Duress Too? Black music never eased into clean studios with suits nodding approval. It came screaming under duress—chains on wrists, whips across backs in cotton fields, night riders circling with ropes and torches, Jim Crow signs staring while you tried to hum toward freedom. Spirituals rose coded in the rows with the lash still fresh. Blues moaned from prison camps and shotgun shacks where rent was paid in blood and silence.

Grammy-nominated bassist and composer Melvin Gibbs contends that all music genres popular in the U.S. — pop, country, rock, dance, hip-hop and Latin — “either are, or are based on, or created using, forms of Black music.” In his new book “How Black Music Took Over the World,” Gibbs set out to trace the “rhythmic genealogy” of music from Africa through the Americas. And he unpacks why traditional Western notations and interpretations of music — even when well-intended — misunderstand the sense of time and kinesthetics fundamental to truly understanding how Black music works. Gibbs joins us with his bass to demonstrate the long reach of the African diaspora, and to ask who gets the credit for the music the whole world loves.

On this episode, Marc talks with Melvin Gibbs, author of "How Black Music Took Over The World," published today, April 14, 2026. It's a unique look at what Gibbs considers "the science of Black Music," a combination of musical theory, analysis, history, and memoir.  Gibbs has played in such diverse projects as Defunkt, Ronald Shannon Jackson's Decoding Society, Rollins Band, and the Punk-Funk All Stars, as well as collaborating with Arto Lindsay, Bernie Worrell, Marc Ribot, Vernon Reid, and so many more. He brings all this experience and knowledge to his book, combing through history, telling stories of his work, and analyzing how black music works rhythmically, melodically, and culturally. As he writes, "Even when culturally sensitive people analyze Black music, and they are able to properly situate it in its cultural context, they still have to wrestle with Western cultural hierarchies and tussle with the Western musical tool set. This book is my effort to reset that dynamic, to wrestle out of its straitjacket that confines analysis of Black music. I analyze the music on its own terms, using tools I've uncovered and methods I've either discovered or had passed on to me."We hope you enjoy Marc's conversation with Melvin Gibbs!

FacebookTiktokInstagramBioDJ, producer, and influencer DJ SoulChild AC is preparing to release his debut album Douby, featuring the single “Eat It Up (Get Up)” with Juiiciana. The project brings together Black artists from multiple genres under his creative direction, showcasing a vibrant fusion of hip hop, R&B, Brazilian funk, and house music.Few can match the drive and resilience of DJ SoulChild AC. Years ago, while working at a local Target, he spent his breaks at a neighboring Guitar Center where a friend worked. There, he taught himself how to operate DJ equipment. As his confidence and skills grew, he began earning respect from other DJs. Within months, he entered a competition. Although he did not win, the experience pushed him forward. Just three months later, he was DJing in nightclubs and had discovered his calling.In 2017, he expanded into music production. Determined not to limit himself to DJing alone, he began learning how to make beats through YouTube tutorials, starting with Ableton as his first digital audio workstation. Beginning his production journey later than many of his peers only fueled his ambition. Inspired by legendary artists who found success on their own timelines, he remains confident that his moment is coming.The name DJ SoulChild AC was born from a late night conversation with a fellow DJ. The nickname SoulChild reflected his deep knowledge of classic music from the 70s, 80s, and 90s, influenced by his mother's extensive record collection. Because the name was already in use overseas, he added AC to represent Atlantic City, the place that shaped him.His upcoming 15 track album Douby represents the culmination of months of focused work. The project celebrates the Black diaspora by highlighting Black genres and elevating powerful vocalists alongside his production skills. Among his favorite tracks are “Envy” featuring Nova The Rebel, “The Movement” featuring Jordan Isiah, and “Studio 54,” a pure house track inspired by his love for disco. He believes “Studio 54” has the energy to thrive in any house festival or club setting.Early feedback on Douby has been overwhelmingly positive. DJ SoulChild AC hopes the album will land on the Billboard Top 200, bringing greater recognition to his collaborators and opening doors for future partnerships. Unapologetically outspoken about his political beliefs, he previously lost DJ opportunities in New Jersey because of them. Now, he stands firm. This album is both a creative statement and a declaration of independence. If audiences want the music, they will get both the art and the artist.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/creator-to-creators-with-meosha-bean--4460322/support.

InstagramYoutube BioR&B artist and entrepreneur Parrish Allen reintroduces timeless romance and soulful authenticity through his music, blending smooth vocals, emotional depth, and classic influences. His single “Lay Yo Head Back” captures the essence of love, desire, and connection, delivering a sound that is both intimate and refreshing in today's musical landscape.Known for his rare balance of confidence and humility, Allen draws inspiration from classic R&B and vintage rock, infusing every song with heartfelt emotion and sincerity. His music speaks directly to listeners who appreciate authenticity, vulnerability, and timeless artistry.Raised in a musical family, Allen's passion for music began at an early age. His early career included performing with an R&B group on the verge of mainstream success, until an unexpected tragedy shifted his path. Choosing to prioritize family, Allen stepped away from the spotlight to raise his children and build a successful business. Years later, he returned to his first love, music, with renewed purpose and perspective.“Now it's my turn,” says Allen, reflecting on his artistic rebirth. Collaborating closely with his nephew, a songwriter and producer, Allen rediscovered his creative voice. What began as a single song soon reignited his passion, leading to a steady stream of new releases. Their partnership blends generational perspectives, creating a modern yet soulful sound rooted in tradition.His latest single, “Lay Yo Head Back,” from the album After Hours, is available on all major streaming platforms, along with a music video on YouTube. The track offers a sensual yet comforting narrative centered on relaxation, intimacy, and emotional connection. “It's about coming home, unwinding, and taking care of your woman,” Allen explains. “It's an invitation to feel good, to feel loved.”After Hours, Allen's second album in one year, delivers a mature sound inspired by mid 2000s R&B, offering smooth grooves, romantic storytelling, and feel good melodies that resonate across generations.Beyond music, Parrish Allen is a dedicated entrepreneur and community leader. As the founder of Parrish Entertainment LLC, he employs over 200 team members and has helped establish 17 group homes, reflecting his deep commitment to service, empowerment, and social impact.A passionate believer in second chances and lifelong dreams, Allen hopes his journey inspires others to pursue their purpose at any stage of life. “It's not about age,” he says. “It's about love for what you do. Once you have handled your responsibilities, go back to your dreams and move forward.”Up next is the high energy single “On Me,” accompanied by a newly completed music video. Promising an upbeat, dance driven vibe, Allen invites fans to get ready to move.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/creator-to-creators-with-meosha-bean--4460322/support.

In the mid-1970s, avant-garde musician and Bennington College professor Bill Dixon created a department called the Black Music Division. Along with fellow musician and professor Milford Graves, they taught performance and theory while bringing Black music into the academic sphere. Joining to walk us through this history is Michael Wimberly, a percussionist, composer and Bennington College professor. Last year, he organized a two-day symposium to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the division's founding with live music and reflections. 

My guest this week is Kristina R. Gaddy, who returns to chat about her new book, a collaboration with Rhiannon Giddens, called Go Back and Fetch It: Recovering Early Black Music in the Americas for Fiddle and Banjo.The book picks up on the research Kristina did for her previous book Well of Souls: Uncovering the Banjo's Hidden History (you can hear our conversation about that here). Crucially though, this volume doesn't just present a series of tunes as research pieces, it includes both banjo transcriptions and standard music notation, so people can play the music and give it a place in the current repertoire.We talk about why so little music was collected from black people in the Americas (fewer than 10 songs before 1861 were collected in the United States that we definitely know are from Black musicians); why these tunes were collected and how; how the way they were collected (and who did the collecting) shaped what was gathered and much more.As always, it was fascinating talking to Kristina.You can find out more about Go Back and Fetch It (and buy the book) via the University of North Carolina Press.For more on Kristina and updates on her research, follow her on Instagram and Substack Support the show===Thanks to Bryan Sutton for his wonderful theme tune to Bluegrass Jam Along (and to Justin Moses for playing the fiddle!)
