Singamo Bootleg, by Introspekt from the album MARICAS Compilation Vol.2

That's sick! I love that stuff, it's super useful. Check this UKG edit of a dembow song

I love that about it too! I particularly enjoy the latin-influenced rave and UKG that's been bubbling up from outside of the UK

Reload It! A primer on the UK hardcore continuum ahead of my DJ night at Sounds Good

Wrote a primer on the UK hardcore continuum, a group of connected British music genres including UK garage, jungle and grime.

I will be celebrating these sounds this Saturday June 28th at Sounds Good in Toronto 📡

Party in Hell | Hazlitt Unlike the many high profile hip-hop figures who have fallen from grace due to their misdeeds in recent years, Playboi Carti's misconduct shows no signs of slowing down his ascent.

In his latest Mind in Bloom column, @cadenceweapon.bsky.social writes about Playboi Carti: hazlitt.net/feature/part...

What does music say about who we are? @spaikin.bsky.social talks politics, power, and protest with musicians @sarahharmer.bsky.social, Tom Wilson, and @cadenceweapon.bsky.social at TVO Today Live from Hamilton’s Music Hall.

"The thing I would tell artists in Canada is just be yourself and don't rely on the States." — @cadenceweapon.bsky.social in conversation with @spaikin.bsky.social on TVO Today Live: Why Music Matters, tonight at 9pm with @sarahharmer.bsky.social and Tom Wilson www.tvo.org/tvo-today-live

I suffer so you, the reader, won't have to

I'm currently listening to songs that users have made with Suno AI as part of my research for a book I'm writing.

This has been by far the hardest part of the whole project. Woof.

Thank you!

Decided to put out some autographed green Rollercoaster vinyl today. Each record comes with a lyric sheet from the album handwritten, signed and dated by me ✍🏽

Only 30 available and then they're gone 🟢

IMO, both acts released what I think is their best project so far. One is @cadenceweapon.bsky.social's Rollercoaster and another is Dawn Richard and Spencer Zahn's Quiet in a World Full of Noise. Both released their first solo project 20 years ago.

You’re looking at it, buddy

The lack of imagination and vision has been staggering from the NDP.

It's a destabilizing feeling when this kind of thing happens. It also appears to be a similar situation with Parkdale riding in Toronto this year. I'm really worried about what is lost when we lose strong local representation that knows the issues in the riding well.

Now is clearly the time to strip everything from the bottom up and try something new. Will they actually do it?

Most of the blame falls on the federal NDP, who miserably failed to capture anyone’s imagination this election.

Now they’ve lost Hamilton Centre, a riding they’ve held since its inception in 2004. The party needs to do some serious soul-searching but I don’t know if that will happen.

I’m mostly happy about the election results but I’m sad that instead of Matthew Green, a tireless community advocate who cared deeply about Hamilton, people have elected Aslam Rana, a TMU professor who lives in Mississauga and plans to move here “first thing.”

DJing today for the final day of ISO Radio before they close forever! End of an era.

Tune in at iso.fm at 1 pm ET

Hey, petitions work! Councillor Moise moves to WITHDRAW his motion requesting a change to the AGCO process for issuing non-profit special occasion permits. The withdrawal carries. No change will be requested. secure.toronto.ca/council/agen...

For all the rhetoric about Toronto trying to be a world class city, I couldn’t think of a more destructive motion for that goal than the one Chris Moise is planning to bring to City Council on April 23rd.
