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.

Sasha - Hollow Sun 25 Seven minutes and the acid line only fully arrives at the halfway mark. The rest is buildup. Not the big-room kind, the kind where you realize you’ve been holding your breath and the track hasn’t even started pushing yet. This is the 200th release on Sasha’s Last Night On Earth label. Two hundred records, and he saved the acid for the anniversary. 2. Gabriel...

The agency that exists to protect your right to organize just got handed to the people who spent their careers making sure you can’t. Senate confirmed two Trump picks to the National Labor Relations Board on August 7th, locking in a 3-1 Republican majority. One of them is a former chief labor counsel for Boeing. Yes, the Boeing currently under investigation for retaliating against workers who reported safety defects. Trump already fired the general counsel who was actually enforcing the law. A federal judge ruled he illegally fired the board chair. The administration shrugged and kept going. The NLRB is...

Federal disaster response, visualized. The rescue basket was over budget so they sent morale.

Gesaffelstein walked onstage at the Grammys in a black reflective mask and gloves, accepted the award for Best Remixed Recording, bowed, kissed the air, and left without saying a word. That is a better argument for the remix as art form than anything anyone has written about it. Three records from the 2026 Grammy class that prove the remix stopped being a B-side a long time ago. 1. Lady Gaga - Abracadabra (Gesaffelstein Remix) The original is a pop record on a blockbuster album. This is four minutes of Gaga’s vocal stripped to its bones and rebuilt inside pulsing darkness....
