Cause And Effect: DJ Miss Kitty Vogue
In honor of pride month, DJ Miss Kitty is focusing on the fabulous queer/drag ballroom music scene of 1970s/80s/90s New York. We’re talking disco, house, vogue…WERKING IT!
“Ballroom, ball, or house culture has been a way for queer blacks and Latinos to respond to a society that devalued their lives and attempted to erase their presence. Through elaborate performances incorporating and commenting on race, class, and gender, the ball community has historically reflected the American Dream and one’s exclusion from it.” –BY LESTER FABIAN BRATHWAITE

End Of The Century presents:
Country Funk with DJ Miss Kitty
DJ Miss Kitty digs up some overlooked Country gems from the 70s & 80s that combine soul, blues, and funk into more edgy and catchy tunnnnnes. While today’s show includes a few well-known names like Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, and Dolly Parton, it mostly draws on more obscure artists who sang about mamas, broken hearts, prison, and gettin’ drunk but made it fresh with strong rhythmic grooves and funky ass bass.

Cause and Effect: Pirate Radio with DJ Miss Kitty
No, we’re not talking about the Pittsburgh pirates or the swashbuckling sort, today’s Cause & Effect episode takes a look at the Pirate Radio movement.
In 1964, there was nowhere easy for British youth to listen to rock ‘n’ rollers like The Beatles, The Who and The Rolling Stones. Commercial radio wasn’t yet an option, and the guardians of the publicly-owned British Broadcasting Corporation considered such music immoral, antisocial and unfit for public broadcast. Yet just three years later, on Sept. 30, 1967 — the BBC switched on the transmitters of Radio 1, the country’s first dedicated popular music station. What happened to change their minds? The answer to that question — and the story of how pop music came to the FM dial in the U.K. — involves illegal offshore broadcasters AKA PIRATE RADIO.
Drive around some parts of London today and you’re still liable to hear mainstream radio broadcasts drowned out by fleeting bursts of unfamiliar music. Pirate radio stations have been illegally hijacking the FM dial since the 1990s, but while the pirate scene is far smaller than it was in its heyday, the influence of pirate radio has endured and the movement is still thriving on a local scale, and a vibrant array of online-only stations are inspired by the energy and spirit of the pirates.
