We’re destroying dance music culture with $300 festival wristbands, heat exhaustion, $18 canned drinks and lines for overflowing porta-potties.
We got to stop going to “see” DJs and instead go out dancing in dark rooms again.
Nice! I’m impressed you lug two! I only travel with one DT.
Does anyone genuinely know why there is no emoji for videocassette, audiocassette, or vinyl record? Yet we have two dinosaur emojis, etc.

I know the feeling. DT is a great center brain. Did you set it up for sitting or standing? Or both?
This sounds a lot like the conditional trig options on Elektron: 100%, 1:2, 2:2, 4:4 or never. Plus they still offer random likeliness on the actual percentages (like 13%, which is an average of 1:8 but not predictable)
Oh man, we need some good news in the world: please please let them make “Candi Barlile” ice cream a real Ben & Jerry’s flavor. Brilliant.

For simplicity, it seems like a Kaossilator or RMX500/1000 would work. But a lot of live electronic artists seem to use onboard hardware FX (i.e. Octatrack) or mixer FX (i.e. Xone, Model1) instead.

Love the new graph screen @lisadejardin.bsky.social is using on @pbsnews.org NewsHour tonight. Super clear info. #charts #datavisualization #news #pbs
Turns out a MXR Phase 95 was the missing ingredient to that Doobie Rhodes sound. Wow.

Sounds awesome, but maybe you don’t need the 404 and the Octatrack both. One might do?
I’m not sure there is any “right or wrong” way here. If you’ve found a sound you like, go with it. In fact, the ability to “tweak it later” can also be an excuse to never finish. Some of the best producers I know print their stems to audio ASAP as a way to commit to decisions and move forward.
Why pray for it? Get a MyVolts Ripcord and take your Elektrons with you there.
Had to look up this song because I was surprised Sonos served me up some Nickelback, but my mistake. It’s some guy called Luke Combs.

Something you won’t find on Twitter.
Trying to keep track is what what they want for us. It’s not about the details— it’s about the velocity. I don’t listen to Ezra Klein often, but this is a good inspiration: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...
So we’ve seen…
Prius —> Model X
NASA —> SpaceX
Twitter—> X
U.S.A. —> U.X.A.

I think he had his turn. He had a really good run. But a couple of years ago he turned in his skates in a moment of poor judgment, and now he’s just pacing around outside the rink. Free skate is over. Time to make room for the next generation. #grammys
Benson Boone can sing. And do backwards flips while walking and singing. Shoot. #grammys
Teddy Swims has a killer voice and a great song. But I still can’t help thinking he’s the results of a chatGPT query for “AI love child of Chris Stapleton and Post Malone.” #grammys
“Espresso” is a great pop song, and it could totally have been on Wham’s first album. Yog would have loved it if he’d written it. #wham #grammys #sabrinacarpenter
That was a wicked good performance. Holy cow🎵
“Record labels need to treat their artists as valuable employees with a livable wage and health insurance and protection. Labels, we got you — but do you got us?”
— Chappell Roan demanding labels to do better during her #GRAMMYs acceptance speech.
“You probably wouldn’t know who Will Smith was if….” he hadn’t punched the host of the Oscars two years ago. Can’t believe #Grammys called him in to introduce Quincy Jones’ legacy this year.
Terrific group of Best New Artists for #grammys this year. But gotta say Chappell is the queen of them all.
Wow. Raye is something else! The new Voice is here. #Grammys
