2025 Mix 46: An album-length Taylor Swift mixtape, testing the sprawling permutations of budots as a theory of...something, and reaching 1K songs (...fin?)
www.otherdavemoore.com
New mix: 13 sick beats by me, then the usual 20+ by other people, including Eftalya Yağcı going ama-pop and NLE The Great (Choppa) going for Tupac (didn’t catch the sample—see all my errors as a subscriber perk) and instead reminding me of a 90s sex ed PSA.

These albums are weirdly similar to me -- think fondly of them in memory and rarely want to listen to them all the way through. Vote yr conscience (heck, I can't win the prediction bracket anyway).

Jimmy Cliff’s later career albums were great, too. “Rebirth” from 2012 is still one of my favorites.

Serendipity in action, the week after I finally try to feature some budots on a playlist this year (most not from 2025) I find a Philippines pop song produced by DJ Love that came out last week. "Budots World 3-Hit Combo" supergroup DJ alb out in about a week.

Thread of 3step making its way into the wider world
hadn’t even noticed that aspect of “Big Daddy”! but that’s part of what makes this more complicated for me than tracing the amapiano influence back then, where you had that very distinctive log drum in the mix, making it immediately recognizable. but what makes s.thing 3Step or 3Step influenced? 1️⃣/>
