I saw Liam Grant live recently and was very impressed. The resonant sound of the guitar combined with his rhythmic and meditative style was entrancing vhfrecords.bandcamp.com/album/prodig...

Went a bit crazy for Bandcamp Friday. Mostly jungle adjacent tunes. I feel like I have at least one more uptempo DJ mix in me.

the angel Raúl and the vampire Gavin defeat the human king. A paper collage from 2019.

a paper collage depicting a yellow winged lion and a blue winged lion jointly holding a spear. They are stabbing the spear downwards into the ribcage of a human skeleton. The skeleton loosely holds a crown in one hand. Flowers surround the figures. There is a half-moon with a face above the scene. The background is red.

1-panel SMBC comic update. A man in a darkened room stares at his computer screen. He says "I don't have to go out and see people or places. I can curate everything that comes to me." The caption below the panel reads "They make a desert, and call it peace. - Calgacus, Circa 100 AD" quoting the Caledonian chief that fought the Roman army in northern Scotland.

Going through an end of year list and I'm like, I don't recognize any of these bands! Then I notice the list format is Album - Band. I truly do not understand the reasoning behind this formatting preference.

Still trying to avoid Spotify but it's tough when they don't let you preview the whole album on Bandcamp :(

Divesting myself of Spotify and so for Bandcamp Friday I picked up a few of my most listened to albums (and also an acid breakbeat banger)

Screenshot of albums from Bandcamp: The Dreaming Jewels by Greg Foat, An Ever Changing View by Matthew Halsall, Cartwheel by Hotline TNT, Long Cool World by North Americans, Endlessness by Nala Sinephro. And the acid breakbeat banger is Noontime Acid by G Jones & Eprom.

Might start playing saxophone again after almost 30 years. Sorry neighbours!

The Bugs Bunny "Lord forgive me but it's back to the old me" meme but it's poorly Photoshopped so that he's playing a saxophone

Sick mix and this "interview" is too funny soundcloud.com/resident-adv...

Is there a particular RA Podcast that has had a significant impact on you? If so, why?

No.

Can you share a mix that's particularly special to you? What makes it a stand out?

No.

In a world where technology is rapidly changing the way we DJ, how do you see the future of DJing and mixing evolving?

A big question that I don't feel I have an answer for.

I had no interest in the Armored Core series of games until I heard this epic track from the latest one and now I want to play it based solely on how hard this goes. (Not to mention the 7/4 switch-up halfway through!) www.youtube.com/watch?v=UmYZ...

Digging into more old stock photo CD-ROMs on the Internet Archive, and this Japanese disc from 1997 has some extremely vibey water-based photography on it.

Sunlight sparkling on the surface of a dazzlingly blue body of water.

A freeze frame of coloured lights reflected in a water droplet.

Water on a glass surface lit by hazy blue and purple light.

A waterfall cascading over a wall of lush greenery.

Went to Mexico and our taxi driver was playing this tune that I immediately fell in love with. Only realized later that it's a cover of an incredibly popular Post Malone track that I'd never heard of. Anyways this version is superior. www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJlS...
