We have some gigs coming up before Christmas www.facebook.com/events/77477... wegottickets.com/event/677608 #oxfordmusic #liveelectronicmusic #oxfordmusicscene

…but it shouldn’t happen at all!

Hello if you got vinyl off us and you get a message saying the DL has already been redeemed please let us know and we’ll send a new one.
- if we mailed it to you just email us
- if you bought it at a gig dm us a picture of you holding the vinyl
It has only happened to one person we know of.

Elon Musk writing new verses for “A Better Tomorrow” while I’ve been asleep

It’s splice though. If what they mean is “slap 45 minutes of pre-made loops together that are already in key” I reckon I could do that in 3 days as well.

This gig has been moved to the main room see you there xxMOP

Who among us can ever truly say we don't need a Potato control panel?

Review in Electronic Sound that reads Oxford's audiovisual duo Tim and Jeremy Day create stripped-back, analogue electro-funk with deadpan spoken word, that sits somewhere on the nexus of The Normal, LFO and Paranoid London, Dark, sweaty and brilliantly constructed, 'Joy' brings insistent minimal grooves with counter rhythms picked out by repetitive modular melodies. Continually threatening full-blown acid house explosions, it pulls back in a perfect display of less is more. The standouts, 'Zero' and 'Black Light', brilliantly explore the shades between suffocation and celebration. MJ

Somehow we managed to miss this! Basically I missed it in the contents and have been browsing @electronicsound.bsky.social for the last week and here we are. Thanks so much to @stateofbassuk.bsky.social for this lovely review! We are chuffed to bits. #electronicmusic #oxfordmusic #oxfordmusicscene

Andrew Liles obviously. FFS

SYSTEMS CHECK
In a week we are supporting The Utopia Strong and Andrew Liledat the Little Bully for @divineschism.bsky.social good if you could be there #liveelectronicmusic #oxfordmusic #oxfordmusicscene #critterandguitari #lzxvidiot #korgms20 #abletonlive

I mean we did a short run of 50 and much to our surprise it’s selling so we’ll probably do a repress

Trans Europe Express I reckon then Radioactivity or Man Machine. Autobahn suffers from side one being much better than side two (though side two is still good). All the “proper” albums after Autobahn are good including EC (Techno Pop was a better title though IMO as a statement of intent).

So yeah the “more to come”. We are super happy with this review from Oxfordshire Music Scene it’s all there. Dystopian disco, eroded acid lines, club ready body blows, “a minimal, industrial slab of post-capitalist catharsis”. It’s like they get us #oxfordmusic #oxfordmusicscene

Octavia Freud and The Weird Sisters - Mancbeth Remixed - Album Review Mancbeth Remixed from Octavia Freud and The Weird Sisters revives that blistering, pumping 90s nightclub vibe - Review by Brian Gorman

"The erotic, S&M infused ‘Harder, Faster’ gets the blood pumping, and the nether regions tingling.... dragging us deep into Clive Barker territory." apparently, if you were wondering what our remix sounds like. Launch at the Bully this Thursday! louderthanwar.com/octavia-freu...

In other news I have been messing around with my new #ericasynths #Perkons and a TD-3 resulting in the video of a track which will in no sense be ready for this gig.

Next up we are supporting the mighty The Utopia Strong and Andrew Liles for @divine schism at the Little Bully. We are on first so get there early.

If you can’t pound on big red buttons to demand more tractors it isn’t cybernetics just sparkling feedback loops

OK I will rephrase. I am having trouble gauging the level of hostility or otherwise. Is this haha you are a wrong idiot and your band is shit or haha you are correct and I agree with you or somewhere in between? Sorry social media is famously lacking nuance and I've had a long day.

As a music teacher 100%

I don’t even know what this meme means

So today’s boomer/spotify rant (sorry to the good boomers. #notallboomers ) has got me 10x more engagement and follows than anything posting about our music. And this is on bluesky which doesn’t even *have* an algorithm. Pretty sure this is symptomatic of something. Anyway, as you were.

Tbf it’s more a mindset than an age. I’m 59 btw

I’m 59 so
