I have completely forgotten to share this remix I made. Part of the Norberg Festival in Sweden is a remix competition, this year the track 'Contact' by Juli Deák. I was among the top 10 so my track is on the official remix compilation released by Lamour Records.

What a nice artice! Can't be overstated how important Mego/Editions Mego has been for me. Still remember the time around 2005 when I first found out about it, probably from a Boomkat review and shifted me from Warp/Skam era into more adventurous waters 🌊🌊

The freshwater bryozoan Pectinatella magnifica, native to eastern North America, has been unintentionally introduced to various other regions of the world.
I have been curious about this invasive species for awhile. I guess it came here during the last 20 years and live mostly in different lakes. So far it is not known what are the effects to the local population. One of my goals for this year is to see one this year!
