Cats are and always have been cyberpunks

I'm never online here anymore, but came back to say I'm organizing the warehouse rave of the century in Berlin, October 2nd. Mad line up, world-premiere spatial audio setup never seen before at a rave and it will likely sell out. Grab a ticket while you can! ra.co/events/2191707

totally forgot about this platform. Is anyone still active here? anyhow, here's an album of transcendent and deeply atmospheric black metal full of opulent melodies cascading like molten obsidian. highly recommended, especially for headphones. bloodabscission.bandcamp.com/album/i-i

Love how underground artists finding success means they instantly join big management companies & agencies such as Wasserman, who make local organizers who supported them for years put in "competitive offers", meaning they have to compete with Live Nation & such.

Two of the deported are trans women, one is being deported to the USA. Depraved. "...three of the four deportation orders cite Germany’s national pledge to defend Israel – the country’s Staatsräson, German for reason of state – as justification" theintercept.com/2025/03/31/g...

Here's a sick mix to kick off this week by Berlin-based DJ Fukinsei! Caught her at 6am on Friday & it was easily the most radical thing I've heard all year thus far. A heavy-weight hour of mutant footwork, hardcore jungle and dubstep architectures! soundcloud.com/moltenmoods/...

The money being poured into AI far outpaces the Manhattan Project ($30b today) and Operation Warp Speed ($18b) combined, and rivals the cost of the entire Interstate Highway System ($114b) - for gains that are much much more speculative.

42 today. If you want to make an old man happy, please consider donating to PANZMA (Palestinian Australian New Zealand Medical Association), who are currently doing incredibly important medical work in Gaza. www.gofundme.com/f/ag2wpf-gaz...

We've taken the paywall down for this one.

MOURAE turns Galician folklore into a phantasmagoric queer mythological odyssey, rich with celestial elven energy and built on a foundation of glitched neural dreamscapes. neurodungeon.bandcamp.com/album/mourae...

This is very very good dance music. supersonicbootybangers.bandcamp.com/album/cookin...

Flawless mix, 10/10 execution by Animistic Beliefs 👌 soundcloud.com/gudurecords/...

It's not that we have too many DJ sets online, but that most lack helpful context. A tracklist gives you info, a write-up provides background, and a thoughtful concept gives meaning. It's all about making the artistic intent visible 1/3

NEW: Dataminr, an official X partner, is helping the LAPD surveil protests against the Israeli war on Gaza across both in LA and across the United States. This includes tipping the department off about protests that are still in the planning stages. theintercept.com/2025/03/17/l...

Moved to Berlin exactly 20 years ago today. I think I did quite well for a small town punk with a bad hair cut and a somewhat ok taste in music.

Apparently Tesla is making more money with Bitcoin and selling carbon credits than with cars

The ‘can machines do creative writing’ thing is mostly a distraction from the use of the machines to go through text and images to cancel grants and put people on deportation lists

After the enshittification of platforms we are getting the enshittification of media petapixel.com/2025/03/11/n...

Seeing the unbearable police violence against female protestors on Saturday in Berlin, I had to look at the statistics to understand how bad the situation in Germany really is when it comes to police brutality and justice for its victims. Spoiler: It's pretty bad. www.youtube.com/watch?v=K27F...

Hot take: we should leave billionaires alone and instead (1/2

This is definitely... something xato.bandcamp.com/track/touch-...

sxsw is so FUCKING BACK i can’t take it

lol

Cellebrite, the ubiquitous company that cops use to unlock phones and copy evidence, is now offering cops AI to summarize chat logs, audio messages, more. Civil liberties experts already concerned about AI hallucinating for cops www.404media.co/cellebrite-i...

Capitalism has so thoroughly colonized our collective psyche that cruelty has become not just a byproduct, but a perverse form of systemic gratification, rendering humanity addicted to its own dehumanization.

Germany is finally renovating bridges, but only so that tanks can roll over them.

Hard truth few speak about: people listen to less and less new music - most labels make their money with their catalogs, not with developing new artists.

YUKU is one of the most essential labels right now. Incredible releases, but in the last few months three albums stood out for me - triangulating the territory between IDM-mutated footwork, cybernetic techno, and a sound-essay on selfhood Please check them out below! yukumusic.bandcamp.com

Cool talk with Will Clarke! www.youtube.com/watch?v=1e6A...

Researching for a video: Can anyone think of a music community that formed around an algorithmically curated playlist or a playlist curated by Spotify's editorial team?

No words.

Fascism both emerges from and perpetuates a crisis and a cult of masculinity. It transforms feelings of inadequacy into a cult of violent power, where brutal force becomes the answer to moral, political, and sexual impotence.

Kicking off an interview series with DJs who inspire me & move underground music culture forward. First up is one of my favorite people on the planet - Chicago footwork legend DJ_Spinn! This is an excerpt, the full 3 minute video is below!

The only quality Germans have is convincing themselves & others that they are more moral than they actually are. Yesterday's authoritarian clown parade around Albanese's speech is all the proof. (1/2)

#hyperreal Sundays are for listening: Fourth-dimensional flute experiments from Italian sound-sculptor Fabio Mina - a wildly psychedelic brew of folk, ambient and post-everything electronics - properly mind-blowing material. okum.bandcamp.com/album/fabio-...

Not enough of you are taking this in…

In Ljubljana and ready for the premiere of CHRONOEXTASY tonight, my first a/v show on collaboration with light designer and visual artist Tasya.

Last month I played a 3h set at Outra Cena in Lisbon - in my opinion one of the best clubs in Europe right now. This was the most fun I had in the booth in a long time, stoked to share the full recording of my set! online!https://soundcloud.com/outracena/opium-hum-at-outra-cena-this-side-110125

Travel day.

The influential grime producer Terror Danjah (real name Rodney Pryce) has died. As a tribute, we have made his Invisible Jukebox interview with Joe Muggs that appeared in The Wire 343 available to read for free in our online magazine library. www.thewire.co.uk/in-writing/t...

Playing this one really loud. soundcloud.com/terrordanjah...

RIP Terror Danjah The best ever www.youtube.com/watch?v=0095...

Rest in power Terror Danjah. One of the greatest to ever do it. youtu.be/8BJ-IJh0mDc?...

Some photos from last night, the first Hyper Real event of the year.

This is one of the best Techno albums I've heard in a long, long time - a hallucinatory cartography of deconstructed techno, challenging its architectural logic through fractured cybernetic polyrhythms and industrial textures. mord.bandcamp.com/album/wernyh...

Just posted this weeks new music list & saw that there's a re-issue of Mika Vainio's Metri. A fantastic album that rethought techno from the ground up - stripped back to the absolute minimum, yet raw & hypnotic. I wish club audiences these days would have the attention span for this kind of music!

Fun things happen on the other side on the Internet right now

Back with this week's haul of cutting-edge electronics & bass weight! Highlights: Bjarki echoing Coil, Latinx cyberpunk by Merca Bae, surgical dnb pressure by Napes, a homage to hardcore's golden era a peak-time masterclass of techno & footwork by Naina. Link to the full list (20+ releases) below!
