I interviewed Florida rave pioneer Peter Wohelski about TRiP Magazeen, a DIY zine from 1992-94 that covered UR, Aphex Twin, Mixmaster Morris, Laurent Garnier and so many more. Newly compiled, it's a time machine from a lost, pre-internet world. futurismrestated.substack.com/p/fr-130-thi...

"His set is sweeping and vulnerable, touching on all eight years of his discography — including "nite flite," a dj blackpower cameo — with immense gratitude, family pride and a few tears." MIKE — Tiny Desk Concert: www.npr.org/2025/08/07/g...

in the new episode of the PUNK THIS WEEK podcast, @ninacorcoran.bsky.social and I get into new records by Golomb, Guyscrapers, and G.I. Bill (plus three artists that start with an L and not a G). This podcast post includes a photo of an exceptional slice of pie. Click for the pie, stay for the pod.

"When most hip-hop artists were still sampling James Brown drumbreaks, Sensational was freestyling over Karlheinz Stockhausen records. For three decades, the raspy-voiced MC has been dropping his trademark stream-of-consciousness bars over electronic-leaning, off-kilter beats."
