Experimental techno in times of COVID-19
Filed under "this has been in drafts for a while, but I'm only now getting around to posting it.
Brianna Price, knwon professionally as B.Traits is a Canadian DJ and record producer who currently lives in London. I found out about her from the eponymous radio show she used to do on BBC Radio 1. The show aired on Fridays late at night London time, and 7:00 PM US Central Time. Price played the more eclectic, experimental techno that wasn't always my thing, but I liked discovering some moody, evocative pieces. Her show was a good soundtrack for finishing articles, and even better soundtracks for writing fiction.
Last Monday (April 20), I got a Facbeook alert that, the next morning (US Central Time) B.Traits would be livestreaming a set straight from her place, something that wouldn't sound out of place on her old radio show. She introduced the stream by saying that she'd play something nice and meditative, and there was that, but thankfully, it wasn't only that. Much like her old show, the music varied a great deal - different tempos, different moods, vocals, no vocals, etc. The only thing that was missing was that thing on BBC Radio 1 website that listed e information for every single track she played during each episode. I wouldn't mind streaming some of the pieces she featured, is all I'm saying.
I don't know how many people reading this might like this sort of thing (maybe againstathorn). But if any of this intrigues you, give it a listen:
