Why is Audio Soul Project stealing Armando’s ‘Confusion’s Revenge’ by re-releasing it under the title ‘LOC24’ by Ricochet?

It’s not a sample or a remix, it’s the original remastered.

Merdification Enshittification = Merdification Enfin, la notion, qui désigne la dégradation qualitative des plateformes numériques, a trouvé sa traduction en français, adoubée par le quotidien de référence Le Monde. Concernant a priori les plateformes opérant en qualité d’intermédiaire, la « merdification » est en réalité généralisée et finit par affecter tous les logiciels et objets technologiques. En tant qu’artiste de la musique enregistrée, maniant comme il se doit la dernière technologie accessible, j’y suis particulièrement sensible.

*Chris Coghlan, A&R at Phono

Ours was in the hands of Clear’s Hal Udell, who genuinely thought it was the absolute worst. Chris and Matthew jumped on it immediately.

Funny you’re releasing this podcast at the same time as the newsletter on The Micronauts. I believe we signed our first EP on Phono thanks to Matthew Herbert. He was at an informal A&R meeting with Chris Coghlan where they were playing each other the worst demos they'd received.

Look if you do nothing else today, just indulge me and listen to The Jag and tell me that's not one of the finest pieces of dance music ever made: www.youtube.com/watch?v=bxtx...
