Songs about love, poverty and swimming in Bacardi lemon: Dutch ‘levenslied’ captures a new generation

My favorite house album is 1999 by Cassius. The core of every track is one main sample on repeat. Philippe Zdar is dearly missed. #cassius #frenchhouse #filterhouse #paris #frenchtouch youtu.be/_5T2JkAQXAc?...

End of the year joy! Probably the best indie rock album I’ve heard in a while: Nigerian Futebol Clube’s ‘Entre Quatro Paredes’. Lush, noisy, cool, unpredictable, long tracks, loops, moods. Love it. #indierock #brazil #music #saopaulo nigeriafutebolclube.bandcamp.com/album/entre-...

Found my old business card for cut-up and asked Perplexity AI to tell me about the webzine. Here it comes. Cut-up.com was a notable Dutch webzine that focused on digital art, culture, and critical commentary, particularly dealing with the intersection of art, politics, and internet phenomena.

This dropped heavily 8 years ago..💣. Largely ignored(Asides from Jay Z and Beyonce😉) Loved Flowdan's flow, lyric and delivery on it... Took me off guard. Felt like Cham's 'Ghetto Story' transposed to East Ldn. Voice and beat aimed for freshness. www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9_d...
