Great shout, thanks Blair! Used it on the newsletter for the last couple of weeks. Not a cute as BNDCMPR, but works nicely

Very cool to be included in @electronicsound.bsky.social ‘grassroots’ edition of the magazine. Thanks to @neilmason.bsky.social for asking! The accompanying CD has a cut from the latest Ogle tape via sister label Preston Capes. 🌞🙏❤️

You need this issue of ES in your life. I'd recommend the mag+double CD, but the mag on its own is pretty tasty this month...

There’s a lovely feature on my label Frosti in this alongside more incredible labels doing incredible work. Cheers, @neilmason.bsky.social for the words!!!
