Luke aka The DJ Producer, suffered a stroke recently. If you want to support him in his rehabilitation, there's a fundraised on gofondme, and you can also buy some of his tunes on bandcamp.
🎧 #Mood | #GraceJones has always been decades ahead, and not enough of us have heard her often-"subversive" messages. Thirty years ago, she made "Typical Male."
It's a continuing saga, of men with total domination,
Psycho, sexual, female manipulation,
Typical male thinks with his dick,
That's how he [?],
As a means of self-expression and fulfillment in a world of alienation,
And emptiness and [?]
I’m gonna be disappointed if the System Shock remake does not deliver a defining feature of the series: eerie as hell enemy audio design backed by an extremely driving techno soundtrack.
"Drawing a single line from techno’s modular minimalism to the funk riffs of the nineteen-sixties might seem impossible—until you realize that the artists in Detroit heard what Kraftwerk was doing and shaped it in their own image, but Kraftwerk just wanted to be like James Brown, who was doing his own homage to Little Richard..."
As a big fan of the timbral minimalism and ultra ascetic production style of minimal techno and tech trance, but also being a guy whose 140 bpm dancefloor days are well behind him, stuff like "Pund" by @yoniden is pure revelation. A deeply funky (in that robot way Kraftwerk was funky) slice of minimal tech that works beautifully at ~119 bpm... heaven. Absolute heaven.
Finally it happened: My first EP is released! It's called "Polyaggregate" and on the label Trau-ma. This week exclusively on Bandcamp and from Friday everywhere else. I am so happy!
