Infinite Contact: Non-Phallic Guitars (Audio)
I've always been uneasy about the guitar because of its connotations as a giant phallus reserved for musky virtuosos with spidery fingers. I reject your rockist aesthetic! In this transmission, I look at other modes of guitar expression, from finger-picking magic to avant garde loops to inspired and tasteful rhythm, mirroring my own personal odyssey to collect a personal canon of anti-gods and goddesses.
Live vinyl and cassette blends to melt the exoskeleton and see through your T2 frame. Broadcasting deep from the quasar mindpiece of DJ t.h.e.o.2 and his top knowledge on the phonograph. Excavating weak genres to reveal the real. All selections shall forever Bump & empirical empires shall forever Fall!
Entrepreneur and carnosaur, DJ t.h.e.o.2 was dubbed the “Prince of Records” in 1976 by Disco King Mario and helped invent the “deadly live wire” scratch technique. During the 80s, after gaining fame throughout, dealt with inner demons. Now, after 20 years out of sight & out of Mind, the Man is back, in Full Force & stronger than Ever! With over 2.6 million records, this Man is still the “Prince of Records!”
