A riff on Jon Hassell's Fourth World series. Where Hassell focused on creating ritual music of potential societies that didn't exist; Ian Kim Judd seeks to evoke the notion of potential utopian societies that could exist. In these times of global instability and uncertainty, Fifth World seeks to posit an alternative, with scenes from an optimistic future.
From the host: "Happy new year everyone. Fifth World's inaugural offering for 2026 is a guest mix from the young upstart & NYC legend James Hill aka Contractor. Listen learn and love."
