I'm never online here anymore, but came back to say I'm organizing the warehouse rave of the century in Berlin, October 2nd. Mad line up, world-premiere spatial audio setup never seen before at a rave and it will likely sell out. Grab a ticket while you can! ra.co/events/2191707

Love how underground artists finding success means they instantly join big management companies & agencies such as Wasserman, who make local organizers who supported them for years put in "competitive offers", meaning they have to compete with Live Nation & such.

Two of the deported are trans women, one is being deported to the USA. Depraved. "...three of the four deportation orders cite Germany’s national pledge to defend Israel – the country’s Staatsräson, German for reason of state – as justification" theintercept.com/2025/03/31/g...

Here's a sick mix to kick off this week by Berlin-based DJ Fukinsei! Caught her at 6am on Friday & it was easily the most radical thing I've heard all year thus far. A heavy-weight hour of mutant footwork, hardcore jungle and dubstep architectures! soundcloud.com/moltenmoods/...

The money being poured into AI far outpaces the Manhattan Project ($30b today) and Operation Warp Speed ($18b) combined, and rivals the cost of the entire Interstate Highway System ($114b) - for gains that are much much more speculative.

It's not that we have too many DJ sets online, but that most lack helpful context. A tracklist gives you info, a write-up provides background, and a thoughtful concept gives meaning. It's all about making the artistic intent visible 1/3

Moved to Berlin exactly 20 years ago today. I think I did quite well for a small town punk with a bad hair cut and a somewhat ok taste in music.

Seeing the unbearable police violence against female protestors on Saturday in Berlin, I had to look at the statistics to understand how bad the situation in Germany really is when it comes to police brutality and justice for its victims. Spoiler: It's pretty bad. www.youtube.com/watch?v=K27F...

Capitalism has so thoroughly colonized our collective psyche that cruelty has become not just a byproduct, but a perverse form of systemic gratification, rendering humanity addicted to its own dehumanization.

Hard truth few speak about: people listen to less and less new music - most labels make their money with their catalogs, not with developing new artists.

YUKU is one of the most essential labels right now. Incredible releases, but in the last few months three albums stood out for me - triangulating the territory between IDM-mutated footwork, cybernetic techno, and a sound-essay on selfhood Please check them out below! yukumusic.bandcamp.com

Fascism both emerges from and perpetuates a crisis and a cult of masculinity. It transforms feelings of inadequacy into a cult of violent power, where brutal force becomes the answer to moral, political, and sexual impotence.

The only quality Germans have is convincing themselves & others that they are more moral than they actually are. Yesterday's authoritarian clown parade around Albanese's speech is all the proof. (1/2)

Just posted this weeks new music list & saw that there's a re-issue of Mika Vainio's Metri. A fantastic album that rethought techno from the ground up - stripped back to the absolute minimum, yet raw & hypnotic. I wish club audiences these days would have the attention span for this kind of music!
