Today marks 20 years of Donuts. This album changed my life. Pretty sure I wouldn't be here posting about music all the time if I hadn't run into Dilla's masterpiece at just the right age. And it still delivers a massive dose of pure joy with every single replay π©

Field Records welcomes the drifting analogue atmosphere of Echospace's Stephen Hitchell with the first vinyl edition of his debut Variant project, 'The Setting Sun'. The double album ranges from rhythmic, physical pulses to purely tonal, abyssal drone.

Deadbeat - Kansai Botanicals one of my favorite dub techno artists drops a new album on Quiet Details this week and it's exactly what I'd hope for, an amorphous ambient excursion cocooning his signature atmosphere & depth charge bass into a warm nebula of sound to float through

I've been watching a lot of 80s/90s Hong Kong movies lately and loving it, everything is so cranked up and so 100% my kinda thing. Would love to get some recommendations, especially for action flicks but I'm open to anything from this time & place

"some people hate clutter and some people love to make little piles everywhere that they will get to later and these people marry each other." True. I follow her around the house picking up those little piles & she puts up with me filling every room with record, movie, and book shelves. teamwork!

Moodymann is GOD. So glad to finally have all four of these reissued classics at hand. Some of the best house music ever recorded, especially when it veers hard into jazz.

This afternoon I'm revisiting The Way Out of Easy and thinking, this might be my favorite jazz album of the decade. There are so many I love but I keep coming back to this eternal groove, the seamless way it weaves in dub, krautrock etc.. just a perfect record.
