BADBADNOTGOOD, MACHINEDRUM, JOY ORBISON + TOMU DJ lead a new-music-filled edition of the ABSTRACT SCIENCE podcast with hosts JOSHUA P. FERGUSON + HENRY SELF. JOSHUA runs down the latest in contemporary jazz-wise business before flipping into a string of breaks and bass heavy on the ’90s nostalgia. HENRY picks up on the moody deep-end of house + acid that makes its way into leftfield synth, breaks + afro disco. [aired 14 October 2021 on WLUW-Chicago 88.7FM]
