This episode features Jon Madof and Eden Pearlstein of the band Ruthless Cosmpolitians. They discuss their recently released concept EP Ruthless, the genesis of the band, and how the creation of the music was cathartic in the current political and social climate.

In this episode of our podcast we meet Jon Madof, New York-based guitarist and co-founder of Chant Records, a new label that's making waves with adventurous music across the spectrum of genres.

Solénoïde (07.09.2020) - C’est une figure culte du mouvement ethno-ambient qui va être l'objet du fil rouge de cette émission. Connu pour avoir composé plusieurs musiques de film et de danse contemporaine, notre lauréat du jour est l'énigmatique RAPOON (aka Robin Storey, ancien membre de Zoviet France). Nos pérégrinations se poursuivront en Norvège à la rencontre de BUILDING INSTRUMENT, trio distillant un élixir sonore au pouvoir mystérieux. Cette escapade nous conduira ensuite à New York pour apprécier une production Tzadik, "Adramelech" du collectif ZION 80, un mélange de jazz-rock et d’afro-pop et enfin nous nous rendrons à Berlin pour succomber aux grooves futuristes de BURNT FRIEDMAN.

Jon OC96 and Shlomo shmooze about life in the music industry, how exploring Buddhism led him to a life of meaningful Jewish practice, some lessons learned, and parenting. Catch a song of Jon's at the end of the episode, and visit https://www.jonmadof.com to hear more of his music with Zion80 and his other bands.

Guitarist, bandleader, and label owner Jon Madof talks about how music and spirituality are related, what it means to create your own kind of authenticity, the difference between a job and a mission, and whether or not an artist’s work can be separated from their personal behavior. Jon’s band, Zion80 released their most recent album on Jon’s newly formed Chant Records label, which he launched in late 2017. What does it mean to create a record label in today’s musical universe?

What started off as a friendly chat between two mutual admirers of each other's creativity quickly turned into something far more intense. As Jon Madof (lead guitarist of the band Zion80) started discussing how much of his music was inspired by Shlomo Carlebach, the talk turned into a discussion about the abuse allegations that have plagued Carlebach since his death. And, in turn, the responsibility of artists in the age of #MeToo.
