This straight up classic is brightening a very misty morning here by the sea ❤️

This afternoon's listening, some synthy hazy dreamy-yet-supa-tight cosmic electronic fusion jazz from Darmstadt's Triorität 😵‍💫❤️🔈

Had a couple of guys in to fix my window frame last week; I served sugary tea, talked about frames, tools, glazing etc. & was doing a pretty good job of fitting in until I forgot they were in the flat and greeted my cat with an impromptu little song about how she’s the best cat out of all the cats

Here’s some photos from last week’s Neurodiversity & DJing panel at Brighton Music Conference which I chaired. Panellists Ifeoluwa, Kate Wildblood, Jon Carter & Danny Lewis gave many authentic, revealing, fascinating & funny insights into what its like being a neurodivergent DJ 🧵 1/5

just overheard a guy in the street on his phone say yeh but which came first, the chicken or the road? 😶

This is me successfully networking at a music industry conference (translation: just excitedly told a guy I met last night about this idea I had after our conversation and he was like I just got here mate, never met u before) #bmc25

It's a very jam packed monthly #Shfl newsletter this time! Besides my @rockingbob.bsky.social guide and some further reviews, there's work by @haroldheath.bsky.social, @jtreppel.bsky.social, @burningambulance.bsky.social, @joemuggs.bsky.social, #AndyBeta, #ChrisCatchpole and #RickAnderson

The latest update at theshfl.com has just gone live including a round-up of my fave Playhouse albums - so lots of 6-hour techno records made of creaks, glitches & thin air, with the potential to evoke an otherworldly sense of a constant yet ever-changing present moment - that kind of thing 😀🎧🎵🔈❤️

I’m super excited to be chairing the Neurodiversity & DJing panel next Thursday at Brighton Music Conference We’ll be discussing an important & fascinating area of dance music/DJ culture: the links between the art & craft of DJing & conditions like autism, adhd, add, dyslexia, dyspraxia etc. 🎧✊❤️

ADHD is finding your lost wedding ring on your finger & not knowing if it was there all along or if you found it & put it on then instantly forgot because it no longer held any interest then pondering if there’s a short story in this phenomenon before never thinking of any of these things ever again

DJing holds a strong attraction for many neurodivergent people, and it also happens to neatly mask the kind of behaviours that otherwise might well flag up neurodivergence, making autistic or adhd traits appear innocuous rather than the expressions of a profoundly different internal experience...

What’s it like writing a book Harold? Sometimes it's good. But sometimes you write thousands of words over several sessions until suddenly you realise in horror that you’ve simply articulated the same idea 20 fucken times, each time worse than the last, so you despair & give up
