I'm very proud of Kaboo.

Check out the making of the song «Miracles» from «A Pass» and «Kaboo». Great music out of Uganda (or Bern? 😉).

Nicely done!

A beautiful video: great lyrics, sad music, great acting by Timberlake and Reubens. This is very good art.

This is a reminder that says you should run your own business, that it's hard work, but that it pays off.

I've reviewed Peter Relic's book about Matt Dike, the record label Delicious Vinyl, and the hip-hop hits that first conquered pop, to paraphrase the subtitle.

A pretty lovely mix of personal touch and love for a hip-hop label that was great, as run by a very devoted person.

Plus, there are interviews with The Dust Brothers, my fave production duo.

Listen to the release Coalescence by '•. ¸¸ .•´¯data cluster ¯'•. ¸¸ .•´ on Qobuz https://open.qobuz.com/album/nr2jjbwkdf42a

Very good near-Jon Hopkins-like stuff but stands on its own, really; arpeggio synths and bouncy instrumental electronics with glitchy stuff thrown in.

Big up to @okwithmydecay for the tip!
