“Synapse Bloom” from Movement Machina and metakomplex on Anjunabeats grows on you mid-listen in a way most trance doesn’t bother trying. The name earns itself.

Mount Rushmore Pres. the Knack - You Better (Hel:sløwed x Fly Without Pilot Remix)
Read more . . . →Four acts credited on this thing and it still coheres. Hel:sløwed and Fly Without Pilot took the original somewhere tougher and the name “You Better” aged well in that context.

Mira Vale - Acid Funk
Read more . . . →“Acid Funk” on mau5trap and the name isn’t lying — there’s real acid in here, squelching under a groove that won’t let you sit still. Didn’t expect this one from that label.

Michael Cassette - Mountain Dew
Read more . . . →Track called “Mountain Dew” on Anjunadeep. Michael Cassette makes deep house from a place that doesn’t exist yet, so naming it after a soda somehow fits perfectly.

Harvard Sits on $50 Billion While Grad Workers Beg for a Living Wage
Read more . . . →Harvard has a $50 billion endowment. Fifty. Billion. And they just told their graduate workers — the people who actually teach the classes and run the labs — that a 74% pay raise to equalize teaching fellows with research assistants is too much to ask. Their counter-offer? “Modest raises.” The strike vote passed with 96% support. April 21 is the deadline. One bargaining session left.
This is the same playbook every corporation runs. Doesn’t matter if it’s a meatpacking plant in Colorado or the most prestigious university on the planet — the people at the top would rather blow the whole thing up than share. Harvard’s grad workers make the machine run. Without them, there are no classes, no research, no rankings, no endowment. And Harvard knows this. They just don’t care. Walk out. Shut it down.

Swedish House Mafia - Wait So Long
Read more . . . →We were posting about these three Swedes back in 2010 when “One” was the summer anthem and I was trying to remix their tracks for DJ sets. They broke up, came back, did the Paradise Again thing, went quiet again — and now “Wait So Long” kicks off their 3.0 era on their own Superhuman label. It’s soulful, it’s big, it’s the festival sound they invented filtered through something more grown-up. Sixteen years and they still know what they’re doing.

Lady Gaga - Abracadabra
Read more . . . →This blog was posting Lady Gaga concert footage from Toronto back in 2011. Fifteen years later she dropped Mayhem and honestly? The electro-dance direction suits her way more than whatever Artpop was trying to do. “Abracadabra” premiered during a Grammys commercial break with 40 dancers in a ballroom battle and it goes hard. Welcome back to coldplaysucks, Stefani.

Florence + The Machine - Everybody Scream
Read more . . . →“Florence Fridays” was a whole thing on this blog back in 2010. Cosmic Love, What the Water Gave Me — we were in deep. The new album is called Everybody Scream and the title track video has Florence in a red dress running through some haunted landscape while possessed people shake on tables. She collabed with Mitski and Aaron Dessner on this one and is currently tearing through a North American arena tour. Sixteen years later, the machine is still running.

Chilly Gonzales - ZILCH
Read more . . . →We posted Chilly Gonzales playing The Grudge live on piano back in 2010 and called him “a poet and an artist.” Fourteen years later the man launched a YouTube series called ZILCH where he writes and produces a full track with a guest rapper in a single day, from blank page to final recording. Piano genius doing rap collabs in 24 hours — that’s the kind of unhinged creative energy this blog was built for. Six episodes, limited vinyl, all on YouTube.

Liquid Stranger, TVBOO - Cracked
Read more . . . →Liquid Stranger and TVBOO on WAKAAN and “Cracked” is more literal than you’d think. Sounds like something that used to hold together and doesn’t anymore. Experimental bass at its most unhinged.
