Gorgeous free mix of contemporary and archival "world music" and avant-garde soundscapes

Composer and producer Josiah Steinbrick — who has worked with the likes of Devendra Banhart and Danger Mouse along with releasing his own music — is also a rigorous record collector and curator of all varieties of outernational music — ancient and contemporary — and experimental/avant-garde sounds from around the globe. Through his Instagram feed, Josiah has turned me on to countless new artists, musical cultures, and sonic experiences. This week, ARP’s Cult Cargo program on NTS Radio presented Josiah’s mix of “pan-global contempo/archival selections from the past 12 months of vari-functional sculptural laments, hypno-pulses, and abstractions in HD.” Far fucking out. Listen below.
