People Like Us - Late Junction: The Sound Of The Summer Mixtape

PEOPLE LIKE US - LATE JUNCTION: THE SOUND OF THE SUMMER MIXTAPE (320kbs-m4a/68mb/30mins)
BBC Radio 3 broadcast: 26th August 2022

Ice cream vans, cricket matches and inflatable kayaks. Throughout the summer we've been exploring the outside world, with listeners sending in their self-made field recordings capturing the sounds of summer. To round off the season, Jennifer Lucy Allan shares a special mixtape from People Like Us aka Vicki Bennett, weaving these recordings into her own unique style of montage. Bennett sees sampling as folk art in the age of mechanical reproduction, with all of the sharing and cross-referencing incumbent to a populist form. Since the early 90s she has been repurposing pre-existing footage to craft audiovisual collages, delving into the surreal with a dark and witty take on popular culture.
