Motte and Bailey – Episode June 19, 2024

This week's episode is themed around Juneteenth, showing the finest of experimental (and adjacent) music from Black artists, leaning way more into the electronic side than usual. Included is this month's edition of Top of the Castle, highlighting the amazing label Nyege Nyege Tapes, showcasing the best electronica and experimental music out of Africa. You can find their Bandcamp here. The rest of the episode is a smooth (by Motte and Bailey standards) blend of ambient, rap, industrial, digital hardcore and some punk (and metalcore).
