INSTITUT 015 | live score | DJ BIGADIER SHAZBAD x BATTLE OF ALGIERS

Revolutionary cinema. Classic dub on vinyl. One of the defining films of anti-colonial resistance, reimagined through a live analog soundtrack.

Vol 15: DJ Brigadier ShazBad performs an all-vinyl live score to The Battle of Algiers (Gillo Pontecorvo, 1967), pairing roots, dub, ska, and global underground sounds with a landmark of political cinema.

This is the second live score of VOLUME 15 of the INSTITUT experiment. Every week, a different hypothesis. Underground at 620 Spadina Ave — around the back, through the lot to the steel doors, down the stairs, past the mechanical room, through the swinging wood laminate door...

Come early for Afro-Beat in Ableton with LeWolf at 5PM and David Sait × A Day Off at 7PM. Stick around — DJ Brigadier ShazBad performs live at 9PM, followed by LeWolf on vintage vinyl at 11PM. But RSVP even though it's PWYC so we know who to expect.

DJ BRIGADIER SHAZBAD is a selector, curator, and organizer whose all-vinyl sets draw from the places he has lived, including Tkaronto, Banjul, Istanbul, Sulaymaniyah, and Kingston. Blending early Jamaican ska, roots, dub, African jazz, Anatolian rock, Arabic funk, and Qawwali, his work explores the intersections of music, place, and resistance through vinyl and cinema.
