Dangerous Dances and the meaning of the word slosh by Megan Orsico-production Lumpen Station, release in may 2023 Dangerous Dances and the meaning of the word sloshDangerous Dances and the meaning of the word slosh is an ode to an ambivalent love for mosh pits.It's about the delicious pleasure of being shoved and pushed by strangers. A moment where clashing bodies and raw sounds are in sync.A liminal space where pain, violence, playfulness and collectivity can maybe cohabit.A place where being soft and hard is welcomeA beautiful chaotic mess of sweaty and sometimes horny colliding beings In the Pit, bodies become fluid, liquidDon’t forget to pick them up if they fall though.« Slosh » sounds a bit like « Mosh » doesn’t it?Credits:Voices: Martian M.
