·1 hr·5 clips
Jenny opens Genesis with chaotic greetings and jumps into discussing a 1979 Japanese band's experimental album.
The episode opens with Jenny introducing the show Genesis, broadcasting from Gan Ha'ir in cooperation with Akatze. She immediately plays Camera Hip Hop from P-Model's 1979 Japanese album In A Model Room, describing it as experimental and neo-wavy. Jenny explains that Japanese artists in 1979 faced treaty restrictions but still produced influential music like YMO. She then shifts to Dust Droid, an Australian trio from Melbourne, playing their breakbeat track Freedom from their recent EP Dust Album. Jenny notes the EP's confusing release structure and their Brisbane origins. Next, she plays The Wind Song by Italian ambient artist Gigi Masin from his 1986 album Wind, mentioning his recent releases and a 2019 performance. Jenny briefly references Radiohead's In Rainbows, playing Weird Fishes/Arpeggi and recalling their 2017 Israel concert. She introduces a new discovery, Felbm, with the track Beaufort, which she found in Radio Akatze's archive. The episode then focuses on Patrick Cowley, a producer from San Francisco known for his work with Sylvester and the gay club scene in the 1980s. Jenny discusses his releases on Dark Entries and his prolific output before his death at age 32. She plays tracks from his album Afternooners, including The Runner and One Hot Afternoon. Jenny also mentions Mark Hollis and Tok Tok's song April 5th from The Color of Spring. She thanks the team at Gan Ha'ir and Radio Akatze, ending with Alibaba from Istanbul by Turkish new wave band Cafe Türk from the early 1980s.
