Urbanomic PlaguePod Special: Guns Of Brixton
As the COVID era segues into something far more cursed, in this exclusive communiqué Anthony Nine drops a poetic-occultural dubplate mapping the fundamental lines of contemporary struggle in a world of politricksters. With a timely advocacy of the power and discipline of real magical practice against the insidious enchantments of ‘meme magic’ and the uncontrolled consequences of its tawdry cons, this impassioned reading touches on memory, the powers of bewilderment and misdirection, and our relation to life and death, past and future. Essential listening for survival in 21st Century Babylon. Anthony Nine is a writer and artist from the UK now based in Miami. His work explores intersecting themes of occultism, African Diaspora traditions, psychogeography, music and culture. The extended text version of 'Guns of Brixton' with additional content will be published in ‘Conjure Codex 4’ by Hadean Press this summer. He is the author of ‘Space Weather Report’, a colouring book account of the world of spirit, available from Revelore Press. His first novel, Dub Seance, a story of lived magic set in London, New Orleans and Miami, is forthcoming. He is also a contributor to Urbanomic’s book Audint—Unsound:Undead (2019).
