not normally one for nostalgia, but this will take me back. Sat in the far frozen north I never got down to London to TF,but we kind of did our own micro version of this regularly in student digs & basements after hours.
Nice one @djfood.org et al - you were all a huge inspiration 🙏🏻

There's a fair bit of difference but also some videos are reworked/upscaled or have footage replaced.

I made a mix for @bleep.com (see previous post) and while I was at it, made a video version too.

I had a hugely enjoyable chat with my friend Neil Keating aka Controlled Weirdness about my formative years in music.

Early musical influences, record buying, London clubbing, graffiti and a fair bit about the Telepathic Fish parties is touched on over the 2hrs.

Spinning in Folkestone tomorrow at Cabron Croove Bar with the last day to see my Openmind exhibition at the same venue (open from 2pm - free).
I'll be around in the day at points and then playing later on. Only a handful of tickets left apparently for the gig.

I agree with these sentiments 100%

So I finally finished reading Precious Metal and am absolutely astounded that more folks haven't been talking about it.. it's easily one of the best comics put out in the last few years. Stunningly gorgeous, strange, brutal, thoughtful. Delicately builds on things we got from Little Bird. 11/10

I should really post about this seeing as it's only a week away. I'm having a small exhibition down in Folkestone from June 3rd @ Cabron Groove Bar.

It will be selections from over 30 years of design work and I've been framing stuff for the last few weeks in anticipation.

I had no idea that when you subscribe to the Wire magazine you get access to the complete digital archive - £40 a year, that is insanely good value.
The mag is approaching issue 500 and needs help to stay alive.

Yes please, mainstream media is going to be all over the place depending on their agenda, I'd rather hear it from two people who have level heads.
