doom is no excuse: New World Symphony Mix

"DOOM IS NO EXCUSE by SCRAAATCH returns! This mix centers around the song “New World Symphony” by Earth Wind & Fire, a cornerstone of our record collection. New World Symphony makes us believe in the possibility of a better world, it is a song that accompanies our longing for a world we can’t see yet. There’s an optimism for connection across cultures in Earth, Wind & Fire’s music. The band’s leader, Maurice White, described music as a “universal language”. Within the mix, we reflect on the urgent need for a new world and the dream of cross-cultural connection. We share songs that sample the record and/or resonate with the “New World Symphony” ethos and EWF’s development and interest in a jazz fusion sound. The interview clips we source touch on how Earth, Wind & Fire created a space for dreaming, and grounded the band in spirituality."
