Broadcast 28 is up for your listening pleasure. Starting with a short feature on Opal Tapes’ new release by Oakland’s own Russell E.L. Butler. Titled “The First Step,” Butler has taken a leap from the literary, thoughtful introspection of “God is Change” and walks fearless strides with his new EP. Highly recommended.

After is a brief interview with Dimentia. He is a great hardware-based producer in the Bay Area and has been a huge part of the esoteric Katabatik collective, an institution that has been bringing the most evocative in experimental electronic music. Dimentia and the Katabatik collective have been curating and cultivating the Bay Area’s thriving underground for well over fifteen years and it is an honor to be able to share their story in the studio. After is a DJ set featuring his love of local artists (Cube, Identity Theft), his own productions and artists that have been an inspiration for him and Katabatik. Enjoy.
