Through his studies in history, activism, and as a musician, Asher Gamedze explains on the first track how Turbulence and Pulse (International Anthem / Mushroom Hour Half Hour) is about the movement of time, musically and historically - and our impulse to continue to make it.

Announcement!

The Red Hot Organization will be releasing the first in a series of tribute albums to the legend, Sun Ra on 26 May 2023. The album is titled “Nuclear War” and features reinterpretations of Sun Ra’s 1981 song of the same name from Georgia Anne Muldrow, Irreversible Entanglements, Angel Bat Dawid and Malcolm Jiyane Tree-O. All musicians / groups we love and admire.

We are honoured to have played a part in this project by curating and producing a complete banger of a track titled “We’re Not Buying It (Nuclear War)”, by Malcolm Jiyane Tree-O (featuring Grandmaster CAP).

A big shout out to The Maestro (aka Malcolm Jiyane), CAP and the rest of the Tree-O for trusting us with this and absolutely smashing the brief.

We can’t wait for you to hear it.

In the meantime, the first single by none other than Georgia Anne Muldrow is out on all streaming platforms. Check it out!
