Club Management Slowcook Talks "Home Fitness" Compilation & Equalizing The Dancefloor
INTERVIEW BEGINS AT 5:17 China is still battling endlessly to contain the outbreak and it continues to spread rapidly around the world, with cases rising in South Korea, Italy, the UK, and even right here in New York City. more than 2000 people have been put into quarantine. We’re starting to wonder if the US government is equipped to handle the severity of this situation. Luckily, there are a few people who have a solution. For the first half of the episode, Shannon chats with Slowcook. Based in Leeds, England and Beijing, @slowcook is a resident DJ at one of Beijing’s popular underground clubs called “Zhaodai”. She’s also the founder of Equalizer, a party and workshop series dedicated to CIS, non binary and trans women in music. The workshops serve as a safe place for female DJ's to learn skills on how to rock it behind the decks. The collective has bought a slew of talented DJ’s to run their workshops too like Eris Drew & Octo Octa, DJ Moxie and Sherelle. Having been in Beijing since the virus hit, Slowcook has seen firsthand just how much damage the virus has done to the middle kingdom and wanted to take action to help. I spoke to her about how shes been holding up through things and her recent curation in collaboration with her team mates in creating the "Home Fitness" Compilation. It’s a 19 track project filled with breaks, experimental beats and 4 &4 bangers, with all donations going towards helping healthcare workers on the frontline of the virus.~ Tracklist“Daisy Chain” - Overmono“Floating Islands” - Nick León“Cut The Midrange” - Dubrunner Buy The Home Fitness Project - https://dcyy.bandcamp.com/album/home-fitnessFollow Shannon @Shannon1DJ (Twitter)@Oh_ya_girl (Instagram)BE APART OF THE PATREON COMMUNITY - https://www.patreon.com/clubmanagement1
