I'm studying psychology for adolescents and people refuse to grasp this. There is no guarantee that what worked for you as a kid will work for your kid. People think that the moment they have a kid, they become ABOVE everyone else, especially their kids. You gotta stay humble and adapt.

My label has specialized in releasing footwork jungle tekno. In the Bandcamp playlist "Defrostatica Offroad" though I'd like to highlight the outliers: electro, breaks, house tunes by Hone Sound, Maltin Worf, SlowRolla, Acid Lab, Pura Pura, Friedrich Ernst and others.

Not to be confused with Chicago steppers (although crossovers do exist), the UK’s 2-step soul sound is hard to pin down in words but instantly recognizable once you hear it.

This review of Leonardo DiCaprio’s performance in ‘One Battle After Another' is just beautiful. Del Toro's role in the movie is contrary to the luxury of a slacker. In my opinion it exemplifies that minorities have to have their act together. Ocean waves, man. Ocean waves.

What information should a label provide on an artist's release page? The answer is context, context, context! With the recent Orginal EP by Hone Sound we've created a blueprint for upcoming releases. This year, we're planning to add all the releases from 2015 onward in the same way to the website.

Two weeks into 2026, I'm still tagging new Instapaper articles as 'yum' or 'yuk' when I save them. The system is borrowed by a figure of Tom Robbin's book 'Still Life With Woodpecker'. The goal is to always have way fewer 'yuk' articles than 'yum' ones and I'm on track so far: count is 39 vs 13.

Die Rede vom "Hass in den Gesichtern der jungen Leute" ist rechte Tradition. Kanzler Helmut Kohl hat sich 1986 an der Göttinger Antifa abgearbeitet. Donald Trump sieht heute die Abteilung Ost vorn (sorry Göttingen) und setzt sie auf die Terrorliste. Same same, not different.
