Taking its cue from a mix-tape culture that figured as a
circulation of desire and communicative enthusiasm, the Agit-Disco
project, initiated in 2007, now transmutes from an on-line project
and Cd-r distribution process into book form. Agit-Disco brings
together the music selections of its invited participants and
covers a range of genres and styles that are offered, here, as a
collective response to the remit: politics and music minus the
propaganda. The Agit-Disco selector is responding to living
self-knowledges; it is the report of a participant where music is
often part of the formation of an oppositional or radical self. Or
even just the survival of the human spirit and hunger for freedom.
Coming with the original selector commentaries this book may yet
well be further realised in the pulsing disco darkness. Agit-Disco
