See No Evil - 09/03/2025 - 14:00 No logic, just vibes.

A solid bit of radio from yesterday if I say so myself... Amapiano, 3 Step, Afrohouse vibes throughout, joining the dots between OG South African sounds and some of the UK stuff they're influencing

Good space but had a life changingly (literally) unenjoyable gig here

Join the Diasporic Dots and Learn How Amapiano Is Bedding Down in the UK | Sound of Life | Powered by KEF Amapiano, a sound nurtured from decades of house music love in South Africa, finds a new context in Black audiences and artistes around the UK.

ICYMI, this is one of the best things I wrote last year, it's the most amazing music, but it's bittersweet because it demonstrates how racially segregated UK club music is lately - HOW can the best music be so fenced off like this? this stuff deserves to be as big and multicultural as UK garage was

People who cry about the Glastonbury lineup have either never been, or need to stop going and free up space for people who know how to have fun...

This is facts. As much as some of the mainstream house scene does its best to obscure it…

Today’s the anniversary of The Greatest Goal Of The 90s.

We’re not talking about Yeboah, Baggio, or Weah.

Instead, I present to you: Gary Crosby at the City Ground, 1990.

You sneaky little shithouse.

Huge gamble to rest arguably the club’s greatest player of the modern era for such a big game.

Sonny should probably have started, as well.

SPECIAL: in memoriam Terror Danjah Remembering one of the true greats of bass music with an expanded 2018 interview

I found the full unedited text - with almost 9,000 words extra! - of Terror Danjah's chapter from Bass, Mids, Tops, and @briandavidstevens.bsky.social had a load of great unused photos, so here it is, complete with a hilariously detailed anecdote about how to carry a pen in a rave.

I always said 'Music Sounds Better With You' but have been told off repeatedly for calling it a guilty pleasure haha. So if it's not that, could be any number of crossover early-mid 90s dance bangers I guess. Nothing recent jumps out but I am blissfully ignorant of a lot of commercial music now

The live link is now the archive, and I'm pretty proud of this show so gonna post it again...

First 1/3 of the show = Amapiano & Afrohouse

Middle section = 100% See No Evil production (think Amapiano/UK Afrohouse with a load of darker Bristol influence)

Last 1/3 = UK Funky & Soulful House

As someone who was lucky enough to go on a school trip to Germany at 15 years old, which included a day trip to Sachsenhausen, the sheer thought of anyone using such a trip to posture and not being deeply affected by it is truly disgusting

Awful man. The fact he's so heavily backed by Thiel is scary - feels like he's the one they REALLY want there, Trump was just the vehicle...

I've been boycotting Brew Dog since I had the misfortune to try one of their beers. I think I was teetotal by the time I found out what a wanker the boss is, but I felt vindicated anyway.

Terror Danjah was the gregarious heart of the grime scene – and its greatest producer | Joe Muggs The producer, who has died following a period of ill health, made thrillingly imaginative beats, but just as impressive was his ability to draw together the British bass scene

I did a tribute

Don’t think so. 1, maybe 2, strong seasons but then got very very silly. And I don’t mind silly but takes it out of any all-timer convos imo

That wages to turnover statistic is wounding for Levy and Spurs. There’s just no way around it or means of obfuscating or spinning what it implies.
