Wtf, thanks to all who voted me to 1st place at #boozedrome &lt;3 The voters must&#39;ve been drunk though, my two personal favourites (Madksh2 and JCO) didn&#39;t even make it to top 3?! ..just kidding of course, everyone did a great job. I had no use for the lower-end scoring options when voting!

#DiggingInTheShelves No. 63 Joss Moog - Hitting Switches Minority Music (2009) https://www.discogs.com/release/1918645 He goes by &quot;Joss Moog&quot; but mostly uses an MPC instead of a Moog. False advertising much?! Just kidding. Let&#39;s check out this house EP from the reliable French producer on Hector Moralez&#39; label. &quot;Rhodes Trip&quot; was always my favourite here. Hard beat, catchy Rhodes loop, simple bassline and an understated vocal clip whip up a ta...

#DiggingInTheShelves No. 64 Halvtrak - Dust Under Bridges EP Don&#39;t Be Afraid (2013) https://www.discogs.com/release/5065881 The debut EP of the frankly underrated producer from Tampere. &quot;Finding Yourself&quot; is a dark acid house track I enjoyed a lot back then. Clever production with layers of chords and synth lines fading in and out of the dry acid groove. The rest is no less effective. Every track brings its own twists to the usual acid blueprint. Quite melodic and -...

This is relevant to my interests. Genesis crew back in Coppi on October 10th with an acid event. Ought to be a good one.

#DiggingInTheShelves No. 5 Admin - Spirit Boogie Omena LTD (2016) https://www.discogs.com/release/8334878-Admin-Spirit-Boogie Another one I had totally forgotten about. Maybe I should start grading these on an &quot;amnesia scale&quot;. What a nice surprise it was, too. Pleasant chill house built from dusty jazzy samples, also suitable for listening purposes. Somewhat similar to the works of HNNY (who&#39;s also appeared on the Omena label), just less tongue-in-cheek. The sample-he...

While it&#39;s often frustrating, damn I find programming enjoyable. Just having a lot of fun with it in general. It makes perfect sense that, aside from obvious capitalist motivations, the dead-inside &quot;tech&quot; bros and other fascists want to take this away from us.

#DiggingInTheShelves No. 35 Jerome Sydenham Presents Jania Carvahlo - Deconstructed House (Phase 2) Ibadan (2001) https://www.discogs.com/release/14568 One of the lesser hyped Ibadan releases I guess, done in collaboration with the Brazilian artist Jãnia Carvahlo. Can&#39;t remember buying this, looks like a second hand dig. The concept is &quot;deep house with live instruments&quot; and what you hear is what you get. Smooth guitar and upright bass, mandatory percussion, chanty voc...

Welp, caught a cold so no Automaticamore or BDSM for me this weekend. On the plus side, it&#39;s a mild one (so far at least) so I&#39;m at least able to concentrate on home &quot;studio&quot; shenanigans..

#DiggingInTheShelves No. 36 Francis Jilla &amp; Johnny Drama - Just Another Boot / Can We Talk? Guess Who (2007) https://www.discogs.com/release/933040 Guess Who was a Guesthouse sublabel mostly for bootleg remixes by usual suspects under pseudonyms. This one&#39;s from Frankie J and John Mork, better known then as The Sound Republic. Side A (*) takes us deep into sampling Inception. It&#39;s a boot of &quot;Just Another Groove&quot; by Mighty Dub Katz, which in turn heavil...

Oh well, got to figure out a distro to replace Ubuntu for my daily desktop use at work then. It was (mostly) good while it lasted.

#DiggingInTheShelves No. 19 Petter - Some Polyphony EP Net's Work International (2006) https://www.discogs.com/release/785627 No, it's not the rapping Swedish Petter, but the Studio Barnhus cofounding Swedish Petter. I distinctly recall my purchase decision: I heard "Untight" in a mix by @teemup@ravenation.club and immediately thought "oh shit I need this". How I ended up with the single-sided Italian re-release with 2/3 of the songs on the original is a detail lost...

The recently widowed older gentleman downstairs seems to have developed a weekly ritual of blasting 70s and 80s disco hits at a loud volume in his apartment every Friday afternoon. Good for him. Also, they&#39;re mostly bangers tbh

#DiggingInTheShelves No. 32 DJ Sabrina The Teenage DJ - The Makin&#39; Magick II Album Spells On The Telly (2021) https://www.discogs.com/release/21806209 Time to work through one of the megaprojects from the hyper-prolific plunderphonics outsider. I&#39;d describe her(*) music as three radios simultaneously tuned to 80s/90s/00s retro pop channels, placed next to a TV set blaring a teen drama. Not for everybody, but Sabrina hasn&#39;t gathered a cult following for nothing. Of her c...

#DiggingInTheShelves No. 33 Vernon &amp; DaCosta - On Fire A Second Smell (2008) https://www.discogs.com/release/1432213 Belgian house tools on a cheekily named (pun very much intended) sublabel of Aroma. I was buying a ton of 12&quot;s like this in &#39;07-09. &quot;On Fire&quot; is basically an edit of &quot;Nights&quot; by Billy Ocean. I like the original and recall getting some mileage out of this. Thanks to the gimmick-free production, I feel it could even work...
