Chrome Daydream
Chrome stars, jelly hearts and holographic colour. A nod to the glossy, optimistic graphics of the early web.
The notebook changes its cover every month. Each one takes its cues from a different corner of music, paper and internet culture. Explore the collection below.
Haunted Notebook is here through November 1. Coffee Shop Confessional takes over November 2.
Chrome stars, jelly hearts and holographic colour. A nod to the glossy, optimistic graphics of the early web.
Cassette ribbons, red-pen hearts and pink paper. For anyone who ever put too much thought into a mixtape.
Vines wind around the speakers and flowers take over the margins. Spring gets the volume knob.
Pixel ghosts, cherries and electric blue meet the notebook doodles. A little arcade cabinet in the margins.
The pink splashes, coffee ring and black doodles that started it, with the volume turned up. The notebook's home colours.
Peel-and-stick chaos: skulls, butterflies, hearts and neon lightning. Think of the back of your favourite battered laptop.
Torn tickets, halftone fragments and bright scraps. A cover that borrows the rough edges of a wall full of gig flyers.
Black ink, torn paper and acid-yellow sparks. A love letter to photocopied zines and the flyers you kept after the show.
Stars, speakers, tape and every loud colour at once. Back-to-school stationery with absolutely no restraint.
Moths, little ghosts and crimson ink creep through the black flourishes. The notebook has a late-night alter ego.
Coffee rings, headphones and warm paper. A cover for the long walk home and the track you play again when you get there.
Moons, moths and constellations spill across midnight-blue ink. The margins drift into space; the music keeps going.

Sixty-three posts this week, which sounds excessive until you look at the list and realize the music was the one being excessive — we just kept up. DnB showed up like it had a meeting scheduled, trance quietly loaded nine entries while no one was watching, and SubDocta dropped three separate WAKAAN releases inside 72 hours. Not a light week. Track of the Week Sub Focus - Elevate (SOTA remix) SOTA took a solid Sub Focus track and made something better out of it. The bassline sneaks in patient before everything kicks off, and the drop around two minutes is...

Drum and bass didn’t just win this week, it showed up to everyone else’s set and unplugged the gear. The liquid pile alone could fill a digest, and we still found room for an EDC hangover, a Basement Jaxx remix nobody saw coming, and Sully dropping a whole EP like it’s still 2014. House and the heavy stuff filled in the rest. Annoyingly good week. Track of the Week Hybrid Minds - Avalanche Liquid drum and bass gets written off as dinner-party background by people who have clearly never heard it loud. “Avalanche” is the rebuttal — the vocal sits...

The manosphere’s hardest man spent this week in Moscow. Andrew Tate — the guy who sells teenage boys a religion of never needing anyone’s approval — showed up at Putin’s economic forum visibly looking for some. He was reportedly invited to promote “Christian values,” which is a choice, given that he’s a Muslim convert under criminal investigation for sex crimes in two countries. He got the bread-and-salt welcome, posted a folk-dance video to his timeline, and drew a grand total of three fans outside his hotel after his people promised a swarm. Here’s the part the algorithm won’t push to...
