DIALECTIC currently presented by bP and guests
2 HOURS A WEEK OF GLOBAL MUSIC WANDERINGS
Unlike what is perceived as ‘World Music’, Dialectic Radio offers a clean slate of global sounds, free from the ulterior motives of consumerism. Presenting sounds enjoyed today around the planet, Dialectic celebrates diversity and diverse language through music, equally revealing the cutting edge results of the electronic revolution, alongside timeless trax from over our species’ history.
Australia, like a growing list of countries, has a strong trans-cultural makeup. Aside from our indigenous hosts, we are a nation of migrants born from an old world colonial power… Becoming part of what’s referred to as the western world doesn’t have to mean losing culture through assimilation though, nor the unique perception of life diverse linguistic capabilities provide.
Dialectic compliments traditional global music programming with a no holds barred blaze of modern street sounds. For younger listeners affected by the pressures of identity, this provides them the knowledge that stuff done in their mother tongue (and other kids’ mother tongues for that matter) can sound as cool as something made in the mainstream media factories.
Elsewhere on the planet, now liberated with the hand me down technological tools of the first world, the so called ‘third world’ are showing the rest of the world how it’s done with ancient rhythms reworked 21st century style to deliver infectious dance-floor based revelations.
Dialectic is a 2-hour program that flows with a non-stop style where music dominates and talk is limited, allowing the listener to sit back and absorb. The show features predominantly DJ sets alongside interviews & featured tracks from contributors from around Australia and the globe, most of whom are affiliated with the Uber Lingua movement, many of whom speak more than one language, either learned or inherited they can therefore tap into unique musical zones.
Alongside material from Australians, in the past 12 months Dialectic has featured contributions from places such as Mexico, Argentina, Scotland, India, South Africa, Botswana, Costa Rica, Reunion Island, Bulgaria, Brasil, France, Russia, Portugal, Switzerland, Macedonia, Indonesia, Spain, Argentina, Greece, Turkey, Sierra Leone, Israel, Kenya, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, Chile, Colombia, Angola, England, Ireland, USA & Wales…
Content for Dialectic is recorded at events, in studios and at supporting radio stations to make it one very vibrant and ever flexible radio project.
Dialectic is produced and presented by Brendan Palmer (AKA bP), a Sydney born – now Melbourne based multi-faceted media maker, DJ and artist who has had his fingers in Australia’s cultural pot for over two decades.
