Just found out about them last week. Thrilled every time I see someone else post them.

Totes :(
Can confirm that Dan has passed. He was close to the Space Cowboys crew of which I’m a member. Sad day.
I’ve been listening to the first album on loop all week. Looking forward to the second.
ProQ is pretty amazing but wow look at those curves :) now I’m curious what the sound is…
Personally one of my favorites albums from them. Didn’t get a lot of love otherwise tho.
Yeah I’ve always wondered why the hexagonal shape was used for the placement grid.

Mostly fresh off my what-if-Burning-Man-but-parking-lot experience of LoveBurn 2026, I'm glad to be back with Fraktured SF and friends at Oakland's Elbo Room this Saturday night. Looking forward to time with fellow @spacecowboyssf.bsky.social Kapt'n Kirk, residents, and headliner SYNTHETIX!
I hear ya.
The world be so crazy now I can’t tell if this is real or satire.
Checks out.
Respect.
I am the very last iTunes Match user in the world.
The idea of remixing Megadeth has been on my mind for a while, and the similar BPM and angry lyrics (If there's a better way... I'll be the first in line... But it better work this time) meant I had to do this... Expect an official release with live guitar and club edits later in 2026. 7/7
This all leads into the final track; a breakbeat remix of Megadeth's Peace Sells (But Who's Buying) from 1988. I was looking for something topical for the current times with space for live guitar, but wasn't finding any tracks that worked. 6/
The final act of the set is a trip back through time to 2004 with deep cuts from Plump DJs, Evil Nine, and the Breakfastaz (name appropriate, no?). 5/
I hadn't played it in a while, and was sort of missing the rapid-fire rapping of Eminem, so I dropped in Eminight's Doom, my bootleg of Eminem's Without Me and Timo Maas' Doom's Night. It wraps up a nice run of Plump DJs, Krafty Kuts, and Yo Speed. 4/
The 60-70 BPM of dub double-timed up to high 130s and low 140s BPM forces faster elements to be simplified, but leaves space for really interesting layering when slowed down to 132 BPM. There's a run from 12:30 to 17:30 that exemplifies this before dropping back into the open foot-stompy breaks. 3/
The core of the set is an exploration of recent breakbeats that sound minimal, but really are an evolution of the 90s dub sound that traces directly from reggae to drum and bass. 2/
The set starts with a cool and funky transition track with some well-known vocals to keep folks hooked. I admit: it's hard playing after shOOey. There are literally people hanging from the rafters and dancers all over the stage, and I try my best to keep them interested for as long as possible. 1/
My set from 2026's Breakfast of Champions is up, and I have thoughts. Fearless listener: read on while pumping up the volume on 60 minutes of pure breakbeats.

Megadeth’s Peace Sells (But Who’s Buying) was recorded at 1/4 step down.
Two Blue Heeler cattle dogs, one travel size and one regulation size, on morning sun kissed steps behind the white bars of a child proof gate, looking like gangsters observing the block yard.
I call this “Heelers in Jail”. #dogsofbluesky #blueheelers

Well played sir
I watch this once a year and see something new each time.
They discovered that your brain would keep the music going in the background while an explosion was in the foreground, so they employed very radical ducking across elements, and no one noticed that sometimes the music wasn't playing at all!
I once read or saw (wish I could find it again) an interview with Walter Murch, the sound designer of Apocalypse Now, and he explained that the first mix down had everything: helicopters, explosions, music, and you couldn't hear anything because you were hearing everything.
