This week at yur mum's house: how can house music defeat the prison industrial complex? Bring Down the Walls was a 2018 art exhibit and teach-in that answered this revolutionary call. The event concluded late into the night with classic house covers recorded by formerly incarcerated musicians and singers alongside New York’s underground musicians played that concluded with an EPIC dance party at Manhattan’s historic firehouse, Firehouse, Engine Company 31. The first half of the show features tracks from the benefit album, Bring Down the Walls, and you can still buy the vinyl on Bandcamp which benefits Critical Resistance!

Whether singing about sex, love, freedom, or liberation on this plane or some other one, house music will take you to church.

Also featured: poetry by the inimitable June Jordan who was speaking out our American complicity with the war machine way before any of the current carnage.
