Kit Clayton live at Tarantella in September ‘25 tarantella-9.bandcamp.com/album/kit-cl...

Same goes for Trance Europe Express — this booklet had more relevant data than the entire internet in 1993. bsky.app/profile/spyk...

One of those albums from the early days of IDM that still transports me to that optimistic future we all dreamed of in 1993. RIP Ken Downie

Thanks to @turkdietrich.bsky.social for including my album in his Boomkat year end list. Still jamming that First Tone record here 🫡

The people at Delayed in NYC did a profile of the wonky little label that me and @dj-surgeon.bandcamp.com shepherd along: www.delayed.nyc/delayed-blog...

I made a music mix for the Music For Programming mix series - Enjoy. 🤘

Archive is up to listen back to selections by heroes and friends alike! wfmu.org/playlists/sh...

Thanks Philip! Always an enlightening read but also obvs love that you've taken the time to listen to what I'm doing. TIP!

The world’s a better place with @dan-bean.bsky.social & this album in it. Hardest working @bleep43.bsky.social er, collector & selector, Transcendence Orchestra & Old Technology founder with @dj-surgeon.bandcamp.com, bestest friend & most self-deprecating of the self-deprecators. Enter his brain.

What an album it is! Love this one

Congrats to @clavender.bsky.social for getting featured on Bandcamp's pick of the best experimental music of October: daily.bandcamp.com/best-experim...

I had a fascinating conversation with Steve Hauschildt about his great new album, his move to Tbilisi, and what's next for Emeralds 👀 futurismrestated.substack.com/p/fr-141-ste...

Published a long interview with San Francisco legend Jonah Sharp aka Spacetime Continuum and his son Jasper, aka Cahl Sel, one of the only intergenerational electronic music duos I know. Includes original photography and vintage rave flyers from Jonah’s archive, likely never published before.

RIP Jack DeJohnette

Not to be obsequious, but getting love from all you weirdos whose music I listen to isn’t something that goes unnoticed.

Damn. I love your tunes. This means a lot! Thank you 🫡

Matias Aguayo and Olof Dreijer are super nice humans. Nishkosheh set was fire of course. Happy 8th bday Jellyfish

This lineup… Extremely curious about what Kit Clayton is sounding like these days.

The listening party for Jo Johnson's new album – and kind of our label launch party – is tomorrow at 7 pm (LDN time). Thanks to everyone who's RSVPd so far. silverthreads.bandcamp.com/merch/altera...

Fall is great but I’m glad September has a few more 80 degree days on the horizon. Pittsburgh winters can be a lot.

Thanks as ever to Emile (Plant43) for thoughtful and beautiful design work and to John Elliott, the unofficial mayor of Cleveland, for introducing us to Nick in the first place and being an all round good sort.

old-technology.bandcamp.com/album/nothin... It's hard to imagine any album project not being the artist's labour of love, but Nick's really poured himself into his incredibly assured solo debut and you can certainly hear it.

Shout out to @moonbuilding.bsky.social for the review of my album today! Also big thanks to Jesse Dorris, Kiernan Laveaux, Johnny Zoloft, and @trevlad.bsky.social for playing it in their mixes and radio shows recently.

Thank you for the very kind bleet about this album, Jo! Huge thanks to @dan-bean.bsky.social @dj-surgeon.bandcamp.com and @plant43.bsky.social who all helped push this beyond what I thought possible. From the feedback, excellent mastering job, and art from Emile that just tied it together so well.

Such an honor to be able to share this album with everyone today.

Alterations Volume One by @jo-johnson.bsky.social is doing alright in the Bandcamp bestselling lists today. Thanks for all your support so far 🌠 CDs still available here: silverthreads.bandcamp.com/album/altera...

My new album comes out next week. I really do hope you like it and find something that fills you with feelings. Thanks @quietdetails.bsky.social for believing in my work. It’s been a long time since I’ve released anything. 😳🥰🤗❤️

Great mix. Thanks for playing a track off my upcoming album @dj-surgeon.bandcamp.com ! Out on Old Technology on 9/5 (Friday)

Colorado River Indian Tribes (CRIT) are seeking legal personhood for the river. CRIT is "trying to work within [settler colonial] laws to get some representation for a river that it sees as a living, beleaguered individual." www.kunc.org/news/2025-08...

ffs. RIP Jay Haze... really sad news

Thank you for including the song “Melting the Difference Engine” off my upcoming album on Old Technology @trevlad.bsky.social

2 person cabin rave report. The fire is now going nicely. Steph meanwhile is heating up the cdjs and I really wasn’t ready for the Dr Jeep track. Eating noodles outside and watching the bats circle.

Everyone has their own past and circumstances, and it seems to me that their music is shaped by those unique experiences. That’s why there’s no such thing as superiority or inferiority. What exists are individual preferences, and I believe it’s through those preferences that we form connections.
