KK016: EZ Riser - The Slacktivist Established in August 2020, KRUNK KULTURE is a record label from the future by KRUNK. The Slacktivist by EZ Riser is our next EP on Krunk Kulture. The debut EP by EZ Riser marks the expressive & full-blown arrival of music veteran Sohail Arora. Unhinged, emotive & raw, the 6-track project power packs high-BPM sonic landscapes through the dancey terrains of jungle and drum & bass. Thematically the electronic music project explores the new-age notion of digital “slacktivism” - the lackluster support or effort shown by online individuals in the vague hope of social or political improvement. The rough & rowdy sounds of the EP arise out of the artist's reflections on the movement & his interpretation of its place in our culture. Sohail Arora launched his solo project, EZ Riser, in Oct 2012. Often known as a pioneer for pushing cutting-edge electronic music with a heavy emphasis on bass in India, Sohail Arora got exposed to Bass music during his days of working with Blue Frog & Zenzi2, the iconic music venues of Mumbai. As the founder of KRUNK, India's foremost alternative booking agency and events crew5, Sohail & KRUNK have been instrumental in producing and elevating some of the most prominent and most prolific talents in India. EZ Riser's musicality extends to a variety of bass-heavy tunes shelled out over the years. EZ Riser's track ‘444' was released under the 2021 Billboard Presents: Electronic Asia Vol.5 compilation, while his track ‘Solar Dub Power' was released via 2022's Bass Coast Festival compilation, 12 days. He has also remixed the hit indie singles ‘Take' by Anushka & ‘Pieces' by Nothing Anonymous in 2020. His breaks-heavy track ‘Trippy Feet' was released as a part of Krunk Kulture's ‘Ganga Jamuna - Flavours of the East' compilation and was selected in iTunes' 2021 top 100 Indian Independent Hits playlist. EZ Riser has also played at leading global bass music festivals like Bass Coast Festival (Canada), Outlook Festival & Dimensions Festival (Croatia), Magnetic Fields Festival (India), NH7 Weekender (India), Vh1 Supersonic Festival (India), Jungle Flash Festival (Slovenia), Modern Sky Festival (Finland) & many more.

(CW: sexual assault and eating disorders) This conversation with Morgan was such a gift ⏤ I could listen to this woman talk about life for HOURS... You're going to absolutely adore her.We dive into a variety of topics: her journey to write her first book, her exciting new venture, how she focuses on her INPUTS more than her outputs (which changed my perspective forever) and so much more.Morgan is an author & speaker. Her first book, Revolution Song, was released in June of 2021. Morgan was raised on the stage — dancing before she could walk — she found solace in exploring emotion through various artistic mediums. While attending Pepperdine University for classical music and dance, she began exploring poetry both as a form of expression and personal meditative practice. In an act of faith and rebellion, Morgan traded her dancing shoes for a pen and never looked back. Revolution Song is Morgan Hoog's debut work of poetry and prose. Her pages explore the winding journey of entering womanhood. Words, strung together with equal parts hope and heartbreak, explore all the emotions and moments that make us human: grief, loss, elation, joy, love, and anxiety. Revolution Song winds fluidly through the precious cycles of our lives, with the ultimate goal of helping us all arrive back at ourselves with love and compassion.

"Smalltime" is a mob story straight out of central casting—but with a difference, for the small-town mob, which stretched from Schenectady to Fresno, is a mostly unknown world. The location is the brawny postwar factory town of Johnstown, Pennsylvania. The setting is City Cigar, a storefront next to City Hall, behind which Russ and his brother-in-law, “Little Joe,” operate a gambling empire and effectively run the town. "Smalltime" is an American immigrant story that travels back to Risorgimento Sicily, to the ancient, dusty, hill-town home of Antonino Sciotto, the author’s great-grandfather, who leaves his wife and children in grinding poverty for a new life—and wife—in a Pennsylvania mining town. It’s a tale of Italian Americans living in squalor and prejudice, and of the rise of Russ, who, like thousands of other young men, created a copy of the American establishment that excluded him. "Smalltime" draws an intimate portrait of a mobster and his wife, sudden riches, and the toll a lawless life takes on one family. But it is something more. The author enlists his ailing father—Tony, the mobster’s son—as his partner in the search for their troubled patriarch. As secrets are revealed and Tony’s health deteriorates, the book become an urgent and intimate exploration of three generations of the American immigrant experience. Russell Shorto is the best-selling author of The Island at the Center of the World, Amsterdam, and Revolution Song, and a contributing writer at the New York Times Magazine. He lives in Cumberland, Maryland. Description courtesy of W. W. Norton & Company.

Russell Shorto - A Story of My Family and the Mob The Not Old Better Show, Author Interview Series Welcome to The Not Old Better Show. I'm Paul Vogelzang, and this is episode #520. Today's show is brought to you by Relief Factor. So many of The Not Old Better Show audience enjoy researching genealogy, family history, and ancestry. Our guest today, NYT best-selling author, Russell Shorto's new book ‘Smalltime,' A Story of My Family and the Mob, explores much more. Admittedly, Russell Shorto also had unusually rich material to work with. “Smalltime: A Story of My Family and the Mob” is a painstakingly researched, thoroughly entertaining, multi-generational look at Russell Shorto's paternal grandfather's career as a mobster in Johnstown, PA. Speaking of the mob, 5 time Academy Award-winning filmmaker of The Godfather series. Francis Ford Coppola says of ‘Smalltime,' “Great history mixed with lovely, lingering memories.” Shorto was born in 1959, and his grandfather, also named Russell Shorto, lived until 1981. They knew each other, but “Smalltime” could easily never have happened. We talk about 'why,' the mob's way of doing business, and the personal growth that comes from researching your family's roots. Russell Shorto says to do family history work you must have the stomach for it! Russell Shorto is known for narrative history, nonfiction books including “The Island at the Center of the World,” about the 17th-century North American Dutch colony New Netherlands, and “Revolution Song,” about the American Revolution. Yet the fascinating life of his own namesake ancestor might have remained unwritten if not for a chance encounter several years ago with an older relative who prodded him to look into it.

Russell Shorto joins us. In his new book, “Smalltime,” after much throat clearing and hedging about not being a memoirist, Russell Shorto — a master of historical narrative — digs up the facts on his family. Until now, Shorto has written books mostly about people he's never met, trying to get inside the heads of Peter Stuyvesant in “The Island at the Center of the World”; Baruch Spinoza in “Amsterdam”; and George Washington in his last book, “Revolution Song.” But the most fascinating characters in those books — for Shorto and for the reader — are always the ones that history has forgotten. An Italian-American whose family name was changed long ago from Sciotto, Shorto comes from a small-time criminal clan in Johnstown, Pa., people you have never heard of before. History has not forgotten them. It never knew them to begin with.

We've come to the end of our series on the American Revolution, but we can't say goodbye without saying hello to Russell Shorto. Russell adapted his book, Revolution Song, for this series on American History Tellers.If you were wondering why we chose these six people, what freedom meant for each of them, and why the fight we began then may still be something we're dealing with today, then this episode is for you!Support us by supporting our sponsors!
We discuss the American Revolution and the meaning of freedom with acclaimed historian and journalist, Russell Shorto, author of the 2018 book, "Revolution Song: A Story of American Freedom."Russell Shorto is also the writer of a fine new podcast series, "American History Tellers."As the nation struggles with a political crisis and national discord, this episode-- released during the week of the July 4th vacation-- has special resonance. We look at fundamental ideas of democracy and founding principles developed before and during the American War of Independence.As he did with "The Island at the Center of the World," which looked at the Dutch impact on New York, Russell's latest book examines American values, drawing deeply on personal diaries, letters and autobiographies to flesh out six important lives. They include an African-American man who freed himself and his family from slavery, a Seneca tribal warrior who became a wise and respected political leader, and George Washington himself. When he began working on "Revolution Song" six years ago, "I thought I was doing history," Russell tells us. "I thought these things were long ago settled. I didn't think I would be living in a time when freedom of the press, freedom of religion and freedom of speech would be even debatable or under attack.""The intertwined stories of "Revolution Song" give a sense of how far-reaching a phenomenon the War of Independence was," wrote a book reviewer in the New York Times.

In 1776, the British Under Secretary of State for the American Colonies was giddy. The Americans needed to be punished like children for their bad behavior. “Roman severity,” he called it, and then when he crushed the rebellion, the American children could come crawling back to their British parents, begging for forgiveness. It would be his crowning glory, he thought. It was not.Support us by supporting our sponsors!This Series of American History Tellers is written by Russell Shorto, author of the book Revolution Song.
