O.J.A.I.’s May Special is a one-hour musical survey systematically documenting petroleum’s presence across electronic and experimental genres, DIY music, corporate anthems, protest songs, R&B and archival found-audio. The selected tracks present petrol as an agent of velocity and infrastructural development, a conduit of libidinal surplus, a vector of institutional corruption and a catalyst of ecological collapse.
