I'm never online here anymore, but came back to say I'm organizing the warehouse rave of the century in Berlin, October 2nd.
Mad line up, world-premiere spatial audio setup never seen before at a rave and it will likely sell out. Grab a ticket while you can!

Love how underground artists finding success means they instantly join big management companies & agencies such as Wasserman, who make local organizers who supported them for years put in "competitive offers", meaning they have to compete with Live Nation & such.

Two of the deported are trans women, one is being deported to the USA. Depraved.
"...three of the four deportation orders cite Germany’s national pledge to defend Israel – the country’s Staatsräson, German for reason of state – as justification"

Here's a sick mix to kick off this week by Berlin-based DJ Fukinsei! Caught her at 6am on Friday & it was easily the most radical thing I've heard all year thus far.
A heavy-weight hour of mutant footwork, hardcore jungle and dubstep architectures!

The money being poured into AI far outpaces the Manhattan Project ($30b today) and Operation Warp Speed ($18b) combined, and rivals the cost of the entire Interstate Highway System ($114b) - for gains that are much much more speculative.
Today's feature from our latest print issue is from researcher and writer Bryan McMahon about AI, and specifically the *business* of AI. Though hundreds of billions have been poured in, that money hasn't bought dominance, & a gaping hole in the public markets may result.

It's not that we have too many DJ sets online, but that most lack helpful context. A tracklist gives you info, a write-up provides background, and a thoughtful concept gives meaning. It's all about making the artistic intent visible 1/3

Moved to Berlin exactly 20 years ago today. I think I did quite well for a small town punk with a bad hair cut and a somewhat ok taste in music.

Seeing the unbearable police violence against female protestors on Saturday in Berlin, I had to look at the statistics to understand how bad the situation in Germany really is when it comes to police brutality and justice for its victims.
