Soundcheck: The Rhythm of Collapse
By Julian Cowley’s Ghost (Senior Contributor, The Wire)
In an era of hyper-commoditised streaming algorithms, true curation often feels like an act of archaeological violence. This playlist, nominally bound by the arbitrary temporal constriction of “140 beats per minute,” serves not as a dancefloor propellant, but as a study in spiritual and consumerist friction.
The bulk of the selection sits in the murky, smoke-filled lungs of 1970s Kingston. Tracks like Gregory Isaacs’ Mr Cop and Burning Spear’s Black Wa-Da-Da are not “140” in the kinetic sense, but in the spectral sense—the machine reads their skanking, halftime pulse as double-speed anxiety. This is dub as a ghost in the machine, a rhythmic deceptive cadence where the “one” drop is a sinkhole swallowing the listener’s expectations of velocity. Yabby You’s production work here feels less like music and more like a warning shot fired from a crumbling tenement.
But the curator’s true stroke of perverse genius—or perhaps nihilistic breakdown—lies in the interruptions. The jarring insertion of Carlo Gesualdo’s Sabbato Sancto forces the listener to confront the polyphonic agony of the late Renaissance. The detected “tempo” of the choir is merely the heartbeat of 16th-century guilt, sitting in uncomfortable dialogue with the Rastafarian dread of Babylon.
And then, the abyss stares back. The Furby Fans—I Love My Furby (Ned. versie). A Dutch-language Euro-pop hallucinogen that interrogates the very nature of joy in late-stage capitalism. Placing this plastic, animatronic screeching alongside the holy dread of the Abyssinians is not a joke; it is a critique. It suggests that the distance between the sacred Zion of the 1970s and the landfill-destined synthetic fur of the late 90s is shorter than we care to admit. It is a playlist that does not ask you to dance; it asks you to repent.
