Following "Bristle Pirates" and "London Pirates Radio Adverts" — air-check collections of pirate radio ads only, selected and cut up into mixes — comes the long-awaited vinyl LP release of "Brooklyn Pirates..", the acclaimed 2022 entry in the trusted Death Is Not The End pirate radio ad series, a cut-up selection of ads from Brooklyn, NY pirate radio between 2014 and 2021!!
A raw, rough-and-tough cut-up mix directed by Brooklyn-based radio producer and audio archivist DAVID GOREN, centered on the fiery Caribbean, soca, reggaeton and dancehall reggae sounds you only get in NY. It also captures the unique, hyper-local reactions of Brooklyn pirate radio to the early 2020s — the global coronavirus pandemic, the George Floyd case, the U.S. presidential election — making it an important social-history document that attests to the meaning and value of independent DIY community broadcasting in our times.
