Made this VST inspired by the Korg Triton glide. Big recommend if you want this influential glide effect, but applied to any sound you can imagine #vst #audio #plugin github.com/dbbldz/eskil...

Looking For the Perfect Break open.substack.com/pub/dutchdub...

it is almost impossible to not use AI as an engineer these days, but I manage by prompting Cursor to use self deprecating language and honestly it’s a great time

I am curious about the long term effects of being verbally abusive to AI chat bots. I regularly take my aggression out on them. previously I would trash talk myself for not being able to solve a problem so overall it feels like a net positive.

for some reason, spent some time trying to create a chrome extension to filter out much of the stuff I don't want to see on instagram. quickly realized the futility in that because I kinda don't want to see any of it. the only solution seems to be a mass unfollow of anyone popular.

We pushed updates to the Medicaid and Transgender Healthcare pages on unbreaking.org today to include new information from the amended House bill that passed on Wednesday night. Our goal is to provide a steady, durable, big picture understanding of all the attacks on these services and rights.

my productivity hack is to write down whatever you want to do on a piece of cardboard in permanent marker and post it to the wall. it feels so satisfying to cross things off. if you can possibly write directly onto the wall that's even better.

gonna try to do some hawaii island/local songs flipped into club tracks. feeling that vibe right now. haven't heard much stuff like that (or really any?)

so, Apple unfortunately did not accept my sick af motion artwork for "Trance Plants", so I made this Three.js version for your pleasure: dubbeldutch.com/tranceplants/

TRANCE PLANTS is out now dubbeldutch.bandcamp.com/album/trance-plants

I have most of July and early Aug off, trying to put together a midwest/eastcoast tour. Would love to kick it and play your party! Hit me up [email protected] Chicago Detroit NYC Philly Bmore Baltimore DC ETC If you know anybody I should talk to please feel free to put me in contact! Thx!

well fuck, trump’s tariffs made SD cards 3x more expensive 🫠 there are a handful of them still available at the preorder price dubbeldutch.bandcamp.com/album/trance...

tagging me in a DJ mix on instagram without ever approaching me always feels like a cheap tactic to farm engagement. I’d really love to be around people who want to build something sustainable and mutually supportive and move beyond these surface level transactions.

hopefully the amerikkkaners will be invited to live in Starbase and help figure out how to terraform mars.

Saturday w DJ Manny! Playing a chicago ass set 🤘

actually got out of my house for a change to peek beyond the veil of my dumb filter bubble and met some amazing people at a “DJ meetup”. There was a 15 year old who throws raves for kids, OG DJ heads, BIPOC LGBTQ ppl, “global” dance ppl, artists who travel to learn about other cultures and sounds…

Somewhere between the extreme copyright execution of UMG’s lawsuit against the Internet Archive and Musk and Dorsey’s AI progress motivated calls to “eradicate all IP” there are some producer DJs who just want to sell bootleg remixes on BandCamp.

TRANCE PLANTS PRE-ORDER IS LIVE (OUT 5/02) dubbeldutch.bandcamp.com/album/trance-plants Highly recommend choosing the SD Card format for max XP. There will only be a limited number (largely dependent on how many of these tiny hologram stickers I feel like hand applying with tweezers).

spending a very long time on a 9:16 video version of an SD card music format sales pitch. cramming as much textual and visual information as possible into these two minutes. #rephysicalizeit

please help me get a new car for work—life is kicking my ass right now!!! gofund.me/8bdcd473

Hey there new followers. Like if you’re not a bot? 😅

nice post and interesting framing of things from Shawn. definitely been trying to limit exposure to the 'slop' and 'branded' tiers lately. also, easier to do if you don't sing for your supper. firstfloor.substack.com/p/the-fractu...

might as well dubbel-dutch.tumblr.com

I’m a little burnt out on doomfluencers and crisis content creators across all topics. Not that the takes are always wrong or we must pretend everything is perfect. But there’s so much cynicism and not much solution. Ironically, the people shitmaking have nothing, but solutions.

I tried to write about empathy and ended up writing about fascism again

I want to believe gen alpha or beta can build a true anti-influencer platform. it could promote collective/supportive/generous actions over self-aggrandizing behavior, none or limited metrics, actively apply debuffs to content going viral, and help people build safe resilient online communities.

tumblr is making a comeback as a haven from influencerization and algorithms. feels like another clear sign that “content creation” is in a bubble. www.fastcompany.com/91310237/the...

Dutch Dubs #4 just hit your inbox. Unless of course you are not on the mailing list. In that case, I suggest signing up immediately to avoid further disappointment. forms.gle/s6vi8PF1MRuZ...

#tbt just remembered this one from 10 years ago. pretty weird they asked me, but it was definitely an honor. RIP Spoko!

in addition to boycotting boiler room we should put temporary sanctions on videos of people touching dj equipment in general. I think I’ve had enough of this:

can always tell someone is using ChatGPT when they write because nobody is really out here just casually using em dashes.

First time trying out Apple Music Motion artwork. Kinda interesting how strict they are with the formats. Like, what even is a ProRes 422 (LT) codec? Never used that for anything... I'm transcoding a h.264 to that with ffmpeg and it went from 200 mb to over a gig. Am I doing this right? 😂

TRANCE PLANTS MIX soundcloud.com/dubbeldutch/trance-plants-mix

some of these blends are going to clash, but gotta expect that with a mix of all original tracks. fuck perfect though. there is too much perfect technology assisted everything right now. I am still doing it in Ableton for efficiency (like most of my past mixes).

chaos released soon RET005 - Rare Earth Riddims: Remixed RET006 - Trance Plants

love how getting "verified" on bsky is verifying a domain. the handle is now @dubbeldutch.com 🔥

dropping one of those 100% own productions mixes this week or next. I made so many damn tracks and edits that people haven't heard. cut half of them to get it under an hour. I'm not DJing at the moment (outside messing around in the studio) and been a loooong time since I put a mix together.

here it is, your moment of hen

might pivot to growing plants full time. feel like AI would have a relatively hard time fucking that one up.

IG ad targeting is crazy invasive. One minute I’ll be having a conversation about ethics of payola in music and the next day will get shown ads about how to create a “subliminal narrative” or create an effective Meta/Spotify campaign (whatever that is).

Urgent Delete Now!!! I could not sign in at all this morning 😬…

seems like BandCamp discontinued their vinyl campaign service sometime last year bandcamp.com/vinyl/ seemed like a pretty good idea. curious to learn more about why...
