MBP #48 Mimi Page & ill.Gates

In the fallout from the grooming allegations against Lorin Ashton, a.k.a. Bassnectar, which led to his subsequent retirement from music, two longtime collaborators, Mimi Page and ill.Gates, released an open letter and a personal video, respectively, detailing their acknowledgement of the victims and their stories, but also revealing their own stories about Ashton's pattern of co-opting, passing off as his own, mis-crediting, and ultimately capitalizing on the music of smaller artists in the industry. This clout-based hegemony at the upper reaches of electronic music culture has been a topic Bill has wanted to discuss for a long time, so we were laser-focused on bringing Mimi and Dylan on to discuss.
Both Mimi Page and ill.Gates are fans of the work of RAINN, which has been helping victims of abuse for 25 years, and we encourage anyone who has the means to donate to this incredible organization that helps victims directly: rainn.org
