I'm never online here anymore, but came back to say I'm organizing the warehouse rave of the century in Berlin, October 2nd.

Mad line up, world-premiere spatial audio setup never seen before at a rave and it will likely sell out. Grab a ticket while you can!

What I loved even more is how a local Live Nation owned company blocked us from doing a show with an artist we've been trying to get for years, only to request the same date for the same artist at the same club. Luckily the club said no.

Love how underground artists finding success means they instantly join big management companies & agencies such as Wasserman, who make local organizers who supported them for years put in "competitive offers", meaning they have to compete with Live Nation & such.

Germany Turns to U.S. Playbook: Deportations Target Gaza War Protesters Four Gaza protesters in Germany are set for deportations despite objections from an immigration official that none were convicted of crimes.

Two of the deported are trans women, one is being deported to the USA. Depraved.

"...three of the four deportation orders cite Germany’s national pledge to defend Israel – the country’s Staatsräson, German for reason of state – as justification"

Here's a sick mix to kick off this week by Berlin-based DJ Fukinsei! Caught her at 6am on Friday & it was easily the most radical thing I've heard all year thus far.

A heavy-weight hour of mutant footwork, hardcore jungle and dubstep architectures!

The money being poured into AI far outpaces the Manhattan Project ($30b today) and Operation Warp Speed ($18b) combined, and rivals the cost of the entire Interstate Highway System ($114b) - for gains that are much much more speculative.

42 today. If you want to make an old man happy, please consider donating to PANZMA (Palestinian Australian New Zealand Medical Association), who are currently doing incredibly important medical work in Gaza.

MOURAE turns Galician folklore into a phantasmagoric queer mythological odyssey, rich with celestial elven energy and built on a foundation of glitched neural dreamscapes.

Video streams used to give comprehensive visual context, but the TikTok-fication of social media replaced musical content and context with visual aesthetics & platform-specific presentation. 2/3

It's not that we have too many DJ sets online, but that most lack helpful context. A tracklist gives you info, a write-up provides background, and a thoughtful concept gives meaning. It's all about making the artistic intent visible 1/3

LAPD Surveilled Gaza Protests Using This Social Media Tool Police records obtained by The Intercept show Dataminr tracked Gaza-related protests and other constitutionally protected speech.

NEW: Dataminr, an official X partner, is helping the LAPD surveil protests against the Israeli war on Gaza across both in LA and across the United States. This includes tipping the department off about protests that are still in the planning stages. theintercept.com/2025/03/17/l...

Moved to Berlin exactly 20 years ago today. I think I did quite well for a small town punk with a bad hair cut and a somewhat ok taste in music.

The ‘can machines do creative writing’ thing is mostly a distraction from the use of the machines to go through text and images to cancel grants and put people on deportation lists

Police violence in Germany - how bad is it? (spoiler: pretty bad)
YouTube video by Michail Stangl / Opium Hum Police violence in Germany - how bad is it? (spoiler: pretty bad)

Seeing the unbearable police violence against female protestors on Saturday in Berlin, I had to look at the statistics to understand how bad the situation in Germany really is when it comes to police brutality and justice for its victims.

Spoiler: It's pretty bad.

Capitalism has so thoroughly colonized our collective psyche that cruelty has become not just a byproduct, but a perverse form of systemic gratification, rendering humanity addicted to its own dehumanization.
