Topaz Dawn (test print 2025.09.12) DJ'ing and writing music off and on since 2000, I'm now getting serious about my production skills and professional output. I'm writing IDM/abstract, ambient, techno, industrial and some downtempo stu

As we wake up to another topaz dawn, just another senseless day in a world gone mad, we march forward regardless. Uncertain, without any other choices.

The currency of the future will be 'realness' and authenticity. The moronic average and below will slurp up AI gen music, content, video etc. but what will be valuable will be what's actual, or real.

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s decision to cancel nearly half a billion dollars in federal funding for mRNA vaccine development is the "most dangerous public health decision" ever, epidemiologist Michael Osterholm said.

New tracks coming out my Deep Space Temple studio this summer, and an older one that's working right now (Belgian N25s) I thought I would put them in a combined playlist called Knu Tstuf. #technosky #indiemusic #electronic

Sajjittar Sajjittar is a brief experiment using a gorgeous variable LFO'd patch built in Pigments.

I used to think every song needed to be an epic 9 minutes for a 'serious' experience. But I've learned from Lorn and Boards Of Canada that it's possible create something interesting, or beautiful... or sad... even if it's shorter.

With that in mind, take a quick listen to Sajjittar!

It's 1000% nostalgia goggles, but I'd do anything to be 11 year old me again watching Robotech eating cereal on floor of the living room.

It will be followed by the Mad Max era of human history unfortunately. Luckily I have some used tires I the yard I can fashion into armour with the addition of some spikes.

Demiurgent - heavy groovy experimental percussion thing. Makes liberal use of a thing called Battalion from Unfiltered Audio. I'm really getting into their tools, I also love the BYOME (bring your own multi-effect) plugin they make. #musicsky #techno #indie

This knife wielding duck is my new spirit animal.

How do you love driving your Hyundai?

They strongly believe that they will use AI to (magically) grow the economy using bits and bytes. You only need humans to screw little screws into devices for a few more years before magical robots will do it.

Seriously, they want less people.

Social media post: ryjkyj @ryjkyj God damn. Grok just said, "yep, Trump and Elon killed those girls." Grok @grok Not my exact words, but close enough: Trump's NOAA cuts, pushed by Musk's DOGE, slashed funding 30% and staff 17%, underestimating rainfall by 50% and delaying alerts. This contributed to the floods killing 24, including ~20 Camp Mystic girls. Facts over feelings. grok.com

Grok eats Musk and Trump for breakfast.
Facts over feelings.

Even if you're left handed?

Feels really great to be finally getting a divorce from Google. They yanked all of my "bonus" Drive space last week and instead of paying their extortion, I'm simply ending my use of Google Drive. The trick is going to be getting off of Gmail; there's so much history, can't lose all of that.

The only consistency these fucking people exhibit is a total lack of consistency. On pretty much anything. They are too stupid to feel cognitive dissonance as a discomfort, and too callous to have a shred of empathy - so here the fuck we all are.

But you know that 99.3% of the Texans that voted for the turd would do it again tomorrow if given a chance. And when more are dead, the number will go down to 99.1%

Listening to people muse "this time, they'll see the error and leave the cult" is exhausting - none of them are capable of change.

Hi #MusicianSky!

If you plan to release new singles or albums, or hold an online event (listening parties, concerts, etc) NEXT WEEK, July 14th to July 20th, tell me about it!
I'm putting this list together every SUNDAY evening.

Artists, bands and labels of all genres are welcome! 👍

I dunno, maybe everybody is fkn losing it. I've had some of the strangest shit happen the last year. I know I'm not the only one.

And I have zero idea why anybody would cast Jacob Elordi as James fkn Bond in Denis Villeneuve’s upcoming film. There is nothing 007 about him. Who dreams this shit up? Is this Denis' first pick? If so, I'll be forced to trust him, he got Timothée Chalamet right for Dune I suppose, loved that.

Belgian Nite Scene (Update N.25s) This is the 2025 update to a song I wrote in 2023 thinking I'd have this album (Anthems from the Alternate Reality) done in late '23 or '24 at the latest. Instead I wrote Observational Telomeres. I'm

/un-mute/ been living in the middle of fights everywhere imaginable: work, airports, in my head you know... just nervous breakdown level stuff.

It's been too long since I dumped something on the unsuspecting, so here's the update to Belgian Nite Scene

I... well, it's just that...

America’s Future Is Hungary MAGA conservatives love Viktor Orbán. But he’s left his country corrupt, stagnant, and impoverished.

Last week, I wrote about how authoritarianism leads to poverty and corruption. Feels like an appropriate moment to post it again.

How's my night going? This is how my night is going:

Since that’s all he started with, I guess that’s fitting?

Reach It, by Djaii (artist) from the album Trance Steps

I totally forgot about this track I wrote back in the 2012'ish time frame. I put it together with the other song I wrote in that era and decided to post it.

It's a pretty groovy urgent trace track. Let me know what you think.

Observational Telomeres, by Djaii (artist) 8 track album

Observational Telomeres - March 13, 2025 - Earth

After working these tracks for most of 2024 I'm finally ready to fully release them. Bandcamp is the best place to support independent artists like me (but Apple Music, Tidal, YouTube streaming too).

Well, if the shoe fits.

But the story is believable, which is “the joke” (I think).

Sure. And I was clarifying that it’s totally fine to make the Star Wars reference as I have zero heartburn about that fiction.
