Shedding Histories is an evening session of reflective listening featuring a diverse selection of acoustic & electronic blends. The show will focus on exploring music as a root of knowledge, with hosts navigating through cultural flows which tell complex stories.
Expect multiple sets featuring lost, psychedelic and synthesised sounds, beautifully illustrated through words and visuals.
For the first Shedding Histories episode, our special guest will be the brilliant Mo’Min Swaitat - founder of Majazz Records and NTS resident. Over several years, Mo’min Swaitat has amassed an archive of rare tapes and vinyl from Palestine and beyond, spanning field recordings of weddings to revolutionary tracks and synth-heavy 80s funk. Many of these were acquired from a former record label in Jenin in the north of the West Bank. The Majazz Project is a research project borne out of the archive, focused around sampling, remixing and reissuing vintage Palestinian cassettes. It is a collaboration between Arab and non-Arab DJs, producers and artists interested in shedding new light on the richness and diversity of Palestinian musical heritage..
