Noise & Politics was a monthly series commissioned by Montez Press Radio focused on genres of experimental music. It featured a selection of new recordings, mixes, previews of new releases, label profiles, readings, interviews, prerecorded sets, and live sets of contemporary practices situated within underground music in the US and abroad, and also featured archival recordings that address the overlap of cultural, political, and economic practices during historical moments.
