Dance Punk with T.I.T.S

Nnedi and Andrew of ‘electro tribe’ band, Trouble in the Streets, come on the Music Fringe to talk about their politically charged music style as well as the microgenre of Dance Punk. We talk about faux Christian bands, prog rock as a torture tool in Gauntanamo and the deep schadenfreude involved in the birth of LCD Soundsytem’. We hear about Trouble in the Street’s influences like bands, Hiatus Kaiyote and Animals As Leaders, while imagining what music that Ted Cruz likes to dance alone in the mirror too. Witness the reemergence of one of Austin’s most galvanizing bands, as we talk about T.I.T.S’s post-pandemic future.   Check out the playlist for this episode: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/25e0hiEzl6IV3YCOPsjPpC   Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/themusicfringe Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/themusicfringe Twitter - https://twitter.com/themusicfringe    Hot Pie Media is an on-demand digital audio/video entertainment network with interests primarily in the creation of original, relevant, and entertaining podcasts.    https://hotpiemedia.com See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tropical House with DJ Ferno

DJ Ferno comes on the Music Fringe to discuss touring with Jazzy Jeff, moving to Austin during a pandemic, and discovering his passion for House Music. We also delve into the world of Tropical House music that is egregiously dominated by affluent, amphetamined, finance-bro Europeans who co-opted Caribbean rhythms and tropical vibes to seemingly sell Carnival cruise tickets. We discuss Shazam etiquette, double claps, and the collaborative nature of the Austin community as we throw praise on Madonna, India Arie, and Chance the Rapper. Join the Music Fringe as we dissect the farce of a music genre that is Tropical House, and the vapid and commercialized shell of a scene that it has become.   Check out the playlist for this episode: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2wUVdfqFwm6nvkgaOZoh7d   Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/themusicfringe Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/themusicfringe Twitter - https://twitter.com/themusicfringe   Hot Pie Media is an on-demand digital audio/video entertainment network with interests primarily in the creation of original, relevant, and entertaining podcasts.   https://hotpiemedia.com See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Vapor Wave Dreamz with Jane Ellen Bryant and Daniel Leopold

Jane and Daniel come on the podcast to discuss their new project Jane Leo as well as the dystopian cyber phenomena known as Vaporwave music. We explore the genesis of Jane Leo, the genius of Iggy Pop, lifting weights to Lou Reed and find ourselves spiraling through Rugrats conspiracy theories, Thelma and Louise hypotheticals, and the possible birth of new genres like diaper wave and Kitchenware-wave. Dive down the rabbit hole with these two gems of humans!   And when in doubt, remember WWID (What Would Iggy Do)   Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/themusicfringe Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/themusicfringe Twitter - https://twitter.com/themusicfringe   Hot Pie Media is an on-demand digital audio/video entertainment network with interests primarily in the creation of original, relevant, and entertaining podcasts.   https://hotpiemedia.com See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
