Yesterday marked 13 years without the legendary and the dearly missed Adam Yauch aka MCA 🙏….this clip from 1998 will always be relevant until this country gets its act together

An absolute masterclass in how the UK media platforms and normalises far right politics. This is how Farage wins.

Ten years ago, Die Wilde Jagd released their self-titled debut album. With its unique blend of spacey synths and kosmische krautrock electronics, the project immediately attracted attention and laid the foundation for a relentlessly evolving musical journey that continues to this day.

Chums! Our mates at Bleep have got a new version of one of my favourite LPs ever. I think the word is "crisp". And that cold European thing that they do so well. Fucking magic. bleep.com/release/4033...

Huge if true

Haven’t listened to this album in ages and it’s still so good. Some of DJ Shadow’s finest work

WTF? 🥴

Love this

SAULT share four new songs on social media

Great label

Rather than be the millionth person to repost the Titanic/Mary Rose thing (excellent though it is), I thought I’d share this again. neal.fun/deep-sea/

“A very odd band…”
