“We have just gotten a wake-up call from the Nintendo Generation.” Twitter, DJ Culture and Iran
By Lady Foursquare | June 15, 2009
“We have just gotten a wake-up call from the Nintendo Generation.” - Cereal Killer from the movie, “Hackers.”
I am fascinated by the role that social technology and in particular, Twitter is playing in the new conflict in Iran. After thousands of Tweets on the subject Twitter has now moved their scheduled maintenance time to keep the service viable as a portal for suppressed news items out of Tehran. I’ve noticed lots of DJ’s, already immersed in the hive mind of the Twitterverse, joining the movement to share this information too.
Here are a few Tweets from Diplo, who has been particularly active on this topic. We’re so glad to see it and impressed to see so many producers and DJ’s we love embracing this trickle up channel for news. To our friends in Iran we stand behind you in your question for free and fair elections and media. STAND STRONG.

“It used to all be so simple…” Kool Disko Kurt – Dusty Records
By Lady Foursquare | June 12, 2009
Occasionally you see an old car, maybe a dinged up Studebaker or an ancient Ford 100 series truck from around 1953 on the road. It sticks out like a sore thumb in the traffic the Hondas and Nissans. It’s loud, busted up and as ancient as dirt. That encounter, while fleeting and rare, still gives you a warm feeling of nostalgia for an era gone by, whether you were personally a part of that era or not.
Kurt, though only in his 20’s, is the DJ equivalent of that experience.
There’s only vinyl here. There are no digital edits. Some of these records were begging for table scraps at the Last Supper. There’s no rush to play the next artist you never heard of six months before their first track comes out. In fact, unless you’re in a shitty warehouse in the mid-south part of these United States, you probably won’t ever see Kool Disko Kurt, who spends far more of his time being a cyclist and traditional architecture artisan than being a DJ.
It’s from that point of view that we arrive at this mix, “Dusty Records,” an appropriate title, to say the least. We think you’ll enjoy it as much as we did. It’s a fine mix for a nostalgic summer night…just like tonight.
