🎧 Kaf - s-Hun (2021)
This is a nice one to me. That perfect balance of deep minimal techno and ambient atmospherics. Closer to the music I want to make lately.

Ha you may have been here before I was. I’ve gone in and out on here several times.
🎧 Skee Mask - Shred (2016)
Enjoying this today. Hitting my mood right. Mix of breakbeat and techno with lovely ambient atmospherics and other stuff all blended in there.

Parts of the hobby
+ buying minis (fun part!)
+ buying paint (I’m really good at this)
+ organizing minis and paint

I really like these. Also scrolled a bunch of your painting. Nicely done!
Following all the sub threads in a post can get a little weird. It’s not the best but it’s also not terrible if that makes sense.
🎧 John Lee Hooker - Burnin‘ (1962)
Working on … well, work. More of that sql stuff.
Plotting how to swap out my midi thru for a motu midi express I picked up used.

Hello bluesky!
Am I back again? I don’t know. I seem to go in and out of being able to tolerate the world of social posts anymore.

Yes. The old days of the internet - Usenet, IRC, small site forums for specific labels or topics, the earlier social networks. I helped create a wonderful one to me back in early 2010‘s on a platform called Ning that crumbled into obscurity as it monetized.

In essence, all good ideas eventually become monetized out of usefulness.
Enjoying this today

Chris is an old old friend and we worked together back during my AtmoWorks and Relaxed Machinery label days. So happy he's with one of the best ambient labels out there now - @spottedpeccary.bsky.social
Listening to Jeff Mills again. There’s just something so immense with his catalog and vision. for me he’s up there with Herbie Hancock and David Bowie on the breadth and depth of making music.
listening on YouTube but here‘s the official release.
