Ossoff: We were told that MAGA was for working-class Americans. But this is a government of, by, and for the ultra-rich. Itβs the wealthiest Cabinet ever. This is the Epstein class. They are the elites they pretend to hate.
This site sucks. Also, it's #bandcampfriday

They like cops so much that all weβre getting is cops. No roads, no bridges, no school funding, no culture money, just a bouquet of different types of cops
Somebody should do a legit study on the amount of lost workplace, productivity, shortened life span, etc. resulting from 10+ years of chaos and stress caused by Donald fucking Trump
Never have I been so hooked on a podcast in my life. Fela Kuti's story, as told by Jad Abumrad (Radiolab founder), is absolutely incredible.

Not me spending every dollar I earned from my NYE gig and on a bunch of new vinyl π«
2026 will mark 30 years of DJing for me, and one thing I can say with confidence is that 60% of the DJs you see on the scene right now will be gone in 5 years and 95% in 10 years. Itβs great that there arenβt many barriers to entry these days, but very few have what it takes to persist.
Oh cool, the right and left can finally agree on something: fuck Bill Clinton π€£. Not sure why itβs so hard for Rβs to say the same of Trump at this point
NYE gig incoming! Andrew Paris and I are gonna close the night out with an extended vinyl set. #PDXTechno #Portland
Using the 30 character phrase βthat appeared to be misleadingβ instead of obvious options like βliesβ or, at a minimum, βfalsehoods,β says a lot about NBC.
He's just going to spew a bunch of random crazy-ass nonsense and lies like he always does. Economic problems? Nah! Him and his billionaire pals are doing just fine thank you very much.
It's #bandcampfriday, and I've uploaded SubSensory's final 2025 release, Electro Objects, a 10-track compilation with the best #electro #breakbeat tracks unearthed from our expansive catalogue.
Or, purchase all 84 releases that we currently have on Bandcamp for just $90!

Wow, turns out MTG was the actual βsnowflakeβ the whole time. She was 100% ok when Trump sicβd his followers on anyone on the left but when sheβs the target sheβs like f this Iβm out π€―
One example is the big room acid tech/trance that I hear in so many streaming sets and clips. I thought that stuff was great when it was new to me, but it only took a couple of years to start viewing it as embarrassing kids' music. I kept a couple of records, but most didn't stand the test of time
It certainly feels like that at times! It's also really hard to explain this to newcomers. Like, I know this track/dj/etc. sounds amazing to you right now, but once you've heard these same elements 10,000 times, you will see how completely lame and uninspired this is.
One weird thing about following dance music for decades is living long enough to see the sounds you and (you thought) the rest of the world grew out of become popular again π€·ββοΈ

When I was a younger #technoDJ, all I wanted to hear were the bangers, but after 25+ years, I just want to hear stuff that's truly unique and sonically interesting... Or deep AF!
Announcing our next SubSensory event, presented in collaboration with Be Yourself PDX, we're thrilled to bring Aurara Halal back to PDX for a special underground event. Tix are available on RA!

Spent this week enjoying our splendid Portland, Oregon weather, food, neighborhoods and culture. Everywhere I went by bike, on foot and by vehicle felt safe. We have out problems, like any other city, but the idea that Portland is βwar ravagedβ is absurd to say the least.
New electro mix! My b2b set with Centrikal, recorded live at a regional campout event this past July, is up on Tracklistings' Soundcloud page. Check it out.
