Rave to the Grave podcast with Hervé Kalongo and San Farafina of Montreal’s Moonshine Crew. The post-border interdisciplinary collective talks about their journey from throwing full-moon loft parties in 2014 to wild international events in Kinshasa, Abidjan, Dar Es Salaam, Lisbon, Paris and beyond. We discuss the collective’s ethos, the music of Africa and the African diaspora and building a brand, creative hub and party institution. Plus we hear how not even power cuts, traffic, police and giant insects can keep them from a party, and we discuss our run-ins with Game of Thrones characters at the rave.

Vancouver’s Stacey Forrester, head of harm reduction at Bass Coast Festival, joins us for a frank and fun chat about drugs and harm reduction at festivals and beyond.

Canada’s Handsome Tiger on how he flipped from metal to dubstep, growing up mixed-race in Canada (his father is from Libya and his mother is Anishinaabe Métis), dance and ritual, and fusing indigenous culture with bass music.
