    It’s March 2, 2022 and festival announcements are popping up. Shambhala Music Festival has announced their 2022 dates after two years off. Closer to home, In Calgary, Sled Island Music & Arts Festival announced their first wave lineup yesterday. Today we’re going into the RDD archives. We’ll hear from Contra from Cartel Madras about what it was like touring in the United States exactly two years ago when the poop started hitting the fan. We’ll revisit my 2020 conversation with Festival Harm Reduction experts, Dancesafe. And we’ll also revisit my conversations with MUTEK Montreal’s artistic director, Alain Mongeau and performer/ producer Priori.Playlist: Plastikman, Chilly Gonazalez - Contain In Key
