Back on SoundCloud, that time @objekttt.bsky.social guested on Mantis Radio.

An early (2014) and heavy techno mix from one of the best DJs out there. Still, 11+ years later buzzing that this happened.

Enjoy! I know I did.

Discovered an old (2005) remix by Hybrid on Dave Seaman's label Audio Therapy. I had no idea they had done these two tracks, remixing Killahurtz.

Just when I think I've heard everything Hybrid have done, I find one more ...

I know I'm late to the game on it, but that James K record, Friend, it's sooooooooo good, like perfectly delicate. The kind of fluffy audio blanket we need in this crazy timeline.

Oo, Radial has a new EP out
radialrecs.bandcamp.com/album/eufemy...

FFO seriously good Dutch techno. He's not quite as fierce as when the project was a duo, releasing on ARMS / Audio Assault. But Jeroen's solo stuff since '09 still packs a great punch and always has that off rhythm rhythm. TIP.
