This set from Ghanaian rapper Bryte blew my mind yesterday - which was a problem because I was driving. Listen loud and dance wildly - but not when you’re driving 😂

The latest single from Nostalgia Deathstar aka me and
@ghost-elektron.bsky.social
is on stealing platforms now. It’s called Human Resource, it’s about precarious employment and it’s already been likened to Crackdown era Cabaret Voltaire - this is dark audio warfare

'Human Resource', the first single from Nostalgia Deathstar's forthcoming second album will be released into the wild on Sept 6th. A pounding synth-hymn to the era of managed decline, strategic resourcing and the reduction of human value to spreadsheet cost analysis.

Honestly, when it comes to reunions I’m far more excited by the first album in 30 years from The Wolfgang Press

Been collecting vinyl for 50 yrs. But I’ve lost & sold & had records stolen over the years so my collection is much smaller than it could have been. Today, as I played a new copy of Bowie’s Ziggy Stardust album I realised it’s the 15th time I’ve bought the album! Anyone else a serial re-purchaser?
