PLO Man appearance on Cashmere Radio Berlin before the release party at OHM for Mitch Speed’s book on Mark Leckey’s seminal work ’’Fiorucci Made Me Hardcore“ which commemorated the politics of the prefigurative and the ephemeral rapture of 90s underground dance music and street culture of the United Kingdom. In this illustrated study, Mitch Speed argues that by interweaving personal and collective memory, this work gives voice to the complexities of class and cultural transformation during Britain’s Thatcherite era. Oscillating between local and expansive resonances, Fiorucci made me Hardcore takes form as a homage, love letter, and work of criticism that eschews analysis, instead incanting the deeper implications of its subject.
