so LISTEN UP... had a bit of new year reflection, looked back at our increasingly impressive archive and had a little think about how these conversations have fed into the stuff I'm doing with current projects (particularly the "LITTLE ROOMS" manifesto and exciting things that are coming from that)

Saturnz Return by Goldie. I’m going in!!

@citizenhelene.bsky.social some times the Ronald Clown delivers the goods www.roland.com/us/products/...

5 Minutes to go….

Feb 13th I'm playing with @dalefrostmusic.bsky.social at @alphabetbrighton.bsky.social - this will follow a BIG ANNOUNCEMENT very soon

I’m doing a bandcamp listening party for my new album “dancing with the weather” this evening at 8pm. I had to postpone it from November due to a family bereavement. The album still sounds really fresh to me tudoracid.bandcamp.com/merch/dancin...

Hi @sararoseg.bsky.social did you have a neighbours blog and did you cover the 1990 series?

Oh HELL yes. The erasure of jazz-jungle as being "coffee table" or "student" by critical gatekeepers has been a genuine cultural crime. And, let's face it, racist af.

Two things can be true at once 1. Bereavement is horrible 2. Two months on and “Sea of Tears” by Goldie is really helping youtu.be/Q-8FKpsVkuk?...

Kindly fuck off

Seriously as an atheist I feel so much more kinship for any religious people whose faith inspires them to stand up to ice and the like than the new atheist crowd who have enabled these fascist thugs

Really cool interview with MC Tunes about his collaboration with 808 state. The avuncular rhyme that bites youtube.com/shorts/lsEzy...

I know you IDM kids don’t approve but you can’t beat a nice bit of sophisti pop.

ADDED 9TH CHORDS. Turning the simplest synth pop into the silkiest not-quite-jazz sophisti-pop since approximately 1985. No, but try playing a three chord trick with an added 9th on each chord. INSTANT SOPHISTI-POP.

No, you’re ruining YOUR promo by making niche jokes about trotsky

Something quite staggering that happened today. Back in the 2010s, I used to record covers of new order or Depeche songs out of a need to inhibit those songs Today I realised that the song I most wanted to play - was my own dancing with the weather part 4 tudoracid.bandcamp.com/album/dancin...

Other than Trump, is there anyone loving life in 2026 more than Quillette/unherd/“if only you were all as sensible as me” grifters?

I went in to work on New Year’s Eve and New Year’s day but it could have been worse- I could have watched the hootenanny.

@glitched.org have you done a tonverk ep ?

Saw another polynomial c “on an original SH-101” and felt all the tired “you kids” frustration expressed by @paulsdmcr.bsky.social I mean, ok I get that you’re going to get a rush from sequencing it- but does the whole internet really really need to know?

How did Drummond and Cauty make nonsense so profound?

Had my brain pulled in about one hundred different directions by Miranda Sawyer and @joemuggs.bsky.social discussing the KLf on ”talk 90s to me”. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t...

ChatGPT, show me the rose’s equivalent of a toffee penny.

Oasis, the musical wing of reform uk

@joemuggs.bsky.social says “make AI shit again.” I say “Martin Gore, fitting a door, 2022.”

every time I see a headline framing this as being primarily an issue of the student having controversial opinions, and not the student being an asshole with a right wing podcaster mom who wanted to ruin a trans person’s career for the clicks, I age another ten years

Before I forget to post about it: I'm on Soho Radio tomorrow night with a slightly Christmassy show 🎅🏽 Tune in at 10pm (pre-recorded, so no shout outs I'm afraid) Tune in via sohoradio.com

Some thoughts on Ken Downie. To be sure, I am more familiar with bytes/spanners/parallel/music for short films and adverts- but his influence cannot be overstated

I think the rise of reform Uk is clearly a (white) Gen X thing (shame on us). I’m angling towards an argument where our 1990s detached cynicism and irony is a precursor to our generation having SO MANY reform uk voters

The Employment Rights Bill that went through Parliament yesterday is something they should probably trumpet about, but instead we'll probably get a tik-tok of Starmer punching a baby seal in the face to make sure everybody knows he isn't woke.

Eight years ago today I made a good joke.

What did Arnold Schwarzenegger say before he went off to play some baroque piano music?

“Gated reverb”, nature’s pub cocaine.

A proper treat for you! 🎛️ New mini #BBCRadio3 series, every night this week 9.45pm #Electronicwomen From Daphne Oram to Laurie Anderson… only 15mins each night, before NightTracks kicks in HP x

Your Party could fix their problems in 5 seconds flat with this - “Taking inspiration from the situationists, we decided to launch Your Party with a 3 month performance art piece. The piece was a satire of centrist dads who say ‘peoples front of Judea’ every time someone left wing shows up.”

I’ve been practicing again bach’s well tempered clavier for a specific event. I read the notes and it turns out that Simon Reynolds and Mark Fisher were around in the 1700s complaining about bach’s lack of innovation

Who or What is your favourite Jam? Chris Morris -Jam Or Jam and Lewis?

I loaded in all the factory data from the korg website. The demo tunes are very sweet- basically Sylvester McCoy era doctor who incidental music.

It was apropos of this

I'm a little sad this hasn't had more spins you know. It's really good, and this Megadog vibe is very close to my heart....

@joemuggs.bsky.social is “cocaine off the M1” a thing? I feel not because the M1 came just at the start of the house era… pills off the M1?

it's that time of the month again

Meta AI relies on being well actually’d by idiots like me which is why you should avoid it

I’ve (very!) recently acquired a Korg M1. I’m really excited to make actual complete tracks with it- it has a built in sequencer and everything so I’m intrigued to make standalone M1 music
