Day 41:
DJ K feat. MC Menor Adr, MC Daneve & MC Kaique da Sul - Flauta do Novo Mundo (2023, BR) (ISC-Y, NKC-Y)
Some of the underground Brazilian funk producers are releasing the most exciting music I've heard this decade, a total new sound. I particularly like DJ Ks tinnitus celebration

Great concert. Who knew that avant-garde Slovenian acoustic drone-folk would be the perfect soundtrack for the present moment.

Dug this out of my Steam library and ended up hacking away into the wee hours last night. Needs the Uplink OS mod to really be playable now but still compelling, makes you feel like a hacking god

I've been using Cantilever since it launched and enjoying the focused approach to consuming streaming music, every album I've listened to has been v.good+ so far - more trusted MP3 blog meets Mubi than Spotify. UK only for now but would recommend, first month is free www.cantilever-music.com
‘I can see a world where Spotify doesn’t exist’: will a new generation of music streaming companies succeed?
Nimble, open-minded outfits such as Nina Protocol, Cantilever and Subvert are looking to bring more money to artists, and a richer experience for listeners

Mello Buckzz - Move (2023, USA, ISC-Y, NKC-Y)
Feel a bit like I'm going to get placed on some list as a middle-aged white guy listening to this but its ludicrously hyperactive mixture of drill & juke is genuinely thrilling, with a bassline that registers on the Richter scale
