Tried to review the wonderful new Natalia Beylis record on @nyahhrecords.bsky.social and ended up also writing about memory and commercial conifer forests in Ireland and the illusion of wilderness (shout out to Cal Flyn’s The Savage Landscape) and maybe u would like to read that?

Beyond the decks: The movement that opened up Irish electronic music

Ireland’s dance music scene looks very different today thanks to the community organisers and artists who helped to make it more inclusive.

I hope all of Irish history is remembered. I hope much of the culture is preserved, some of the culture is abandoned, and new strands of the culture emerge. What I don't care about if the people of the future doing this have perceived blood links to the island

Noise only becomes unsettling and unwanted when you grow into your learned inhibitions as an adult. Making noise is liberating and the children know this best because they don’t give a fuck what anybody else thinks, especially their parents lol
