@YourFriendTina For something actually sorta novel in a dance music context, check any of dj marcelle’s sets youtu.be/rB0VTyPpx-Q?si…

Give me weird, outsider, or generally esoteric dance music recs please 🙏

@nickmcdonnough People bring their own histories to the show too. We’re watching as fans, not skeptics. They’ve evolved so much over the years and seem to make completely uncompromising music. They’re in the best position an artist could be. Grateful to be following along.

i strongly believe that if a brand artist no one had heard of gave the exact performances autechre has done on their tour and the exact same crowds saw it the reviews would be middling at best.

@whatdotcd Amazing. Congrats dude!

Update: We're having a baby.

About 18 months ago I started making rave tunes after my therapist said it might help with the burnout I had from startup life (teklife cures tech life tbh). I made a couple of tracks and had my roomate (now girlfriend) sing on them and it's been a crazy year of playing festivals and sleeping on airport floors. Anyway our Boiler Room is out and it's a nice reminder that doing what you love is often a better idea than doing what you think people will love. I wanted to make 160 bpm hard trance songy songs with verses and bridges and we wrote them in spanish thinking about 10 ppl would care but they've brought us all over the world to play music and that's all we could ever ask for really.

@whatdotcd Let’s see whatcha got

I've been working on a protocol/idea with some friends for the last couple months that will be really interesting for "creative people." Tomorrow I'm dropping a new product but this won't be that "big idea" rather an idea that came from time I've spent in "the trenches" since I've started working on that "big idea." TBH I haven't been this inspired by something in a long time, all the crypto ideologues will tell you the trenches are the death of crypto and it's all extraction and brainlessness but they're wrong (obviously). From my POV "the trenches" are a lot of people making very rational decisions about how they should spend their time and energy to create the best outcomes for themselves and their loved ones. I also think they're underserved, lots of people building for Devs, Creators, Vibe Coders, whatever but not a ton of people building for someone trying to turn 20$ into 40$ to buy chipotle. So we've spent some time sketching out some things that we think could help evolve the ecosystem based on some convos we've had. We're gonna drop an ugly (but fun) very early version of something so we can build in public and be trencher focused while working on "big idea" in parallel. If you're interested reply here and I'll DM you a sneak peak before we kick things off tomorrow!

@JJCyberPath Just ask AI to translate code into pseudocode a whole bunch of times and you’ll start to get what it all is, how it works, what it’s doing, and how to ask it to build what you want.

Do everything yourself, as a family. Don’t hire extra help. Don’t place weird unrealistic expectations upon your kids (or yourself or your wife). Your kids will remember that they can do things because they did them, and you did them, and your wife did them. When life happens, they will know what’s up. As long as you’re not a weird vain selfish asshole who checks X to see if he’s doing it right all the time (no shade), you’ll be fine.

Been chatting with my wife about an issue I want to solve, but am a bit stumped -- so thought I would ask the question here, and maybe get some ideas: We both work full-time, and have two young kids at home. Our nanny leaves at 5pm, and then I get home a bit after that. We play with the kids for about an hour (while my wife makes them dinner), have dinner, and then we each give one of them a bath, and help put them to bed. By then it's around 7pm, we're both completely exhausted. We would like nothing more than to enjoy some downtime the rest of the night after a long day, but the work is just beginning. The kitchen and dining areas are now a mess from dinner, the dishes need to be done, and food needs to be prepared for the kids for the next day. By the time all of it is done, it's after 9pm, we are beyond exhausted, and the day is essentially over. We have a cleaner that comes to the house twice a week, but of course wraps up well before 6pm. What do other people do to solve this issue? How do you win back your free time after the kids go do bed, without leaving a mess overnight and ensuring they have food ready for the next day?

Played before Funk in 2009 and something weird happened. Went up to praise him after his set and he insisted that we take the twelve CDs that comprised his set after he played, all of which were filled with originals. Any track we played from any of those CDs was a highlight of any set thereafter. Sweet man, sad story, give if you can. Pioneer.

A record from 1994.. 30 years later.. John S*mmit could never I'm sorry!!!

At least two of the people i’m bringing will most likely hate this.

@JubileeDJ JC & DN?

I did really like that one guys podcast but then he had that one girl on and i stopped listening all together . I tried .

I don’t really understand graphic design beyond a wow/looks nice/hmm/yuck spectrum but in all of your work, the use of signs, signets, symbols, shapes is so strong, that it feels like you’d be a natural logo designer. But also you do have a very recognizable style, and i can see why maybe you wouldn’t want to give your imprimatur to something that does projects outside the scope of your engagement with them. If that’s what you mean.

@jetskitosway2 I don’t know you but ty for this. Was difficult deciding which groupchat to send it to.

@filippkowalski Should have been more clear. I run a website-based biz, not an app. We run ads that take people to landing pages that are more explanatory than this, but thinking about it more i see your comment is more relevant for an app and this form is def not necessary in that case.

@ghbowler you don't need an account for a subscription if that's what you're asking about if you have a hard paywall then you need to explain during onboarding what your app does, but it will still cause high churn if people are coming from paid ads

@misterminsoo Feel LP5 or maybe ep7 has the most overlap w their overall discography, and would make a good intro. But unless you’re a certain type of listener, you’d struggle to find a way in too late after that. Best they’ve ever been now though imo.

Amber is def my least favorite Autechre album… I was always confused that so many people called it their fav, and the fact it’s often recommended as an introduction to the duo seems confusing. It was *my* intro and I thought I wasn’t an ae fan until I heard Chiastic Slide.

@burialposter maxforlive.com/library/device…

@cedarshims Sounds rad. Will you upload?

@DDDrewDaniel Odd Duck remixes (❤️)… and then her logo became a duck, and then the swan imagery… I allowed myself to (delusionally, self-aggrandizingly) believe that the odd duck thing may have kicked all that off… can you confirm or deny? Crush my dreams.

@DDDrewDaniel I wrote you an email when I was a teenager after downloading Shiny Disco Balls on soulseek and the file was attributed to Bjork. I called it an “odd duck,” if it was really hers (I knew it wasn’t) You wrote back that she was amused by the phrase. Teen me was thrilled to see the

So today is the anniversary of the "Vespertine" album. We (Matmos) played a small programming role that was exaggerated in the press; it's good to see time correct those distortions. Watching closely as Björk generated this work of genius was one of the great joys of my life.
