Carter as late-night DJ experiments with different modes of storytelling, weaving together sonic readings of ‘the detail’ in Ernie Barnes’s Sugar Shack through song selections (jazz, soul and R&B), personal commentary and recitations of Black critical theory. Episode three, FREQUENCY, shares songs and rhythms that just keep coming back, whether as remakes and remixes, or as embodied memories.
