That’s great. Noticed some of the obvious ones, but clearly the whole episode was all about the Easter eggs. Will re-watch. I noted the below wording in the Guardian’s ‘what to watch’ section on the day of […]

His album ‘Aero’ is essentially his greatest hits remade in 5.1. It has some Rendez-Vous tracks on there, plus Oxygene/Equinoxe classics and a few of the newer sub-trance stuff. (Newer as in 2004-ish when it came out)

Fantastic. How many chances do you get to say that in a lifetime?

Not real so probably doesn’t count, but I read it as a joke headline feature somewhere about 20 years ago and it still makes me lol when it pops into my head occasionally.

The (fake) story was along the lines o […]

I take it you’re not looking for techno clubs, but if you are it’s obviously the holy land.
Went to a club called About:blank a few years ago – we arrived at about 3am and thought it was a bit dead. Turned out […]

Same here…somehow managed to avoid them for the last 20+ odd years and catching up now. Particular favourites (as well as the new one) are Hot Thoughts (a bit more experimental) and They Want My Soul.

Plenty […]

My sister is famous within the family unit for mixing her metaphors at every attempt, without fail and totally innocently. Only a few days ago she used the phrase “the silver lining on the cake” on the family WhatsApp.

Thank you for this. I was 9-18 years old in the ’90s – I’m back there now. Top effort!

Thanks @bingo for the thread.

Cheers

The new Promises album by Floating Points, Pharaoh Sanders and the LSO is an incredible piece of work. Essentially a 45 minute composition consisting of a looping chord sequence on piano/harpsichord with 9 […]

Another subscriber here, sad to see the format end. There have been some great editions in recent years… Daphni, Soul Clap, Midland, Call Super, Mathew Jonson spring to mind.

Also a fan of the Balance […]

This mix by David August is definitely at the deep/jazzy/cosmic end of the house spectrum:

Worth exploring the DJ Kicks series for similar. Off the top of my head, both John Talabot’s and Will Saul’s are excellent.

Yes it is. Love Soulwax/2manydjs and Bowie (obvs) but never come across this. Just played it at full volume after a shitty week at work and it’s magic.

That’s just about the best thing I’ve ever heard. Thanks for that, made my evening/life.

I do like Dark Days, and that track is great, I just don’t think it’s quite the work of genius that Radiator or Rings… or Guerilla are. But then I’m just judging against their previous work, as a standalone […]

You may well be me. I missed them completely in the 90s (for similar reasons) and got into them via a friend and the best of – ‘Songbook’ – in 2004. Then I realised they were definitely the best band of that era […]
