Even later than late, here’s my @phonicarecords ‘Best of 2024’ chart:

A mere 150 records which I really liked last year (in rough order, they’re all good!)

Since DJ's started getting filmed, it's now some sort of thing to do to become 'popular' or famous, looking good is now the number 1 priority (although i think someone dj'ing looks embarrassing af, especially when they know theyre being filmed lol). Dj's used to be ugly cunts.

a bit ago i asked a music PR if they could work on an album and they told me how much they loved it before i’d sent them anything to listen to, the most honest music biz interaction in recent memory lol

Apparently Berghain have replaced their soundsystem. The old one put in 20 years of service, which means, assuming it was running 40 hours a week at an average of 135bpm (always 4 to the floor, obviously), it played approximately 340 million kick drums during its lifetime

never seen a creative environment quite like this moment. almost everyone I know is having a deeply difficult time. years of compound greed by platforms and overpromotion of total fakers to authority positions seem to be coming home to roost. be there for each other if you can
The belated #RyuichiSakamoto appreciation post.
It’s been months since the sad news of his passing. I’ve been gradually pulling his records off the shelves again, dipping back in and taking some time with each. Amazing body of work

I don't know how to say this in a punchy, eloquent way... but the climate and environmentalist movements need to get very serious about creating alliances with labour movements and working-class political formations. And fast...

If you are a bird and you have been recorded without your knowledge for an ambient album, you may be entitled to compensation.
Had a chat with RA on the current vinyl manufacturing situation, they used some of it in this article:
