BUNKR - Antenne Remixed Antenne’s radio waves continue to hurtle through space…out 9th May bunkr-music.bandcamp.com/album/antenn... @warringtonruncorn.com @faexoptim.bsky.social @digitonal.bsky.social Mattr @polyop.bsky.social @masefieldlabs.bsky.social Echaskech @bunkr303.bsky.social

Labels and artists who treat creative output purely as a monetisable commodity are an enigma to me. Revenue doesn't strike me as a sensible metric by which to value art.

Whilst I broadly agree with this, I don't really have much time for a lot of the "indy music" community pretending they aren't also mercenary as fuck.

Friends, My 2020 soundtrack for The Vale has been newly re-mixed and remastered. 🩸 🩸 🩸 #soundtrack #soundtracks #horror #horrorsoundtrack #folkhorror #horrorsoundtracks everydaydust.bandcamp.com/album/the-vale-original-soundtrack

Friends, My next album Shrouded III is just around the corner… 🤫 In the meantime here is an impression from one of the recording sessions for Shrouded II. #experimentalmusic #tape #musiqueconcrete #ambient #electroacoustic #reeltoreel #fieldrecordings #magnetictape

I can't actually handle how fucking amazing Clown Core is. It's next fucking level.

Pissed at that penalty decision early on. But Rangers were well beat. Better team definitely won. Given recent domestic results, not getting humiliated is a good outcome.

I'm not remotely qualified to have any valuable opinion on the trans debate stuff. But at a basic moral level, it's very unpleasant to see human beings kicked around as a political football by people with an agenda.

Some previously unseen live photos.

Musicians - ensure your track is played all over social media on an annual recurring basis simply by naming it a date in the calendar.

Next on the gig calendar. 11th May @seventhwavebham.bsky.social

Thank you to everyone who came out to Magic Square last night. It was fun.

I make a really boring action figure.

Ironically, those made in China MAGA hats are going to become very expensive.

It's definitely possible this could all end with Trump hiding in a White House bathroom.

Come and see us lot in Edinburgh this Friday. @everydaydust.bsky.social @faexoptim.bsky.social www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/magic-squa...

My son is obsessed with Aquarius by Boards of Canada because of the counting. I have to listen to it on repeat in the car. I probably brought this on myself.

I am privileged to be included in the soundtrack rework project, and my track is available to hear in the preview of the pre-order. Some amazing work here. Go check it out.

Spotted my first skinny pale man strutting down the road topless and drinking Buckfast today. Winter is officially behind us.

"Detention centre" Why are people still tiptoeing around calling things for what they are. www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

I just discovered I'm an ethnic minority under the Equality Act 2010, which I wasn't expecting.

Why has the scantily-clad-ladies-liking-all-your-posts thing migrated from Twitter to Instagram?

If anyone else is thinking about walking away from the "indy electronic music scene" because of what it has become - please be aware you aren't isolated, no matter what the social media created perception may be. A LOT of artists share your disenchantment....but we have agency to improve things.

UPDATE Due to a family bereavement, Caroline Baird can no longer DJ at this event. All the live acts will still be there though. Everyone involved with the event offers their condolences to Caroline.
