Exactly a year ago. I think this might have been the most full on tourist thing I did in Japan but totally ok with that! A view from Starbucks overlooking Shibuya Crossing. Take me back.

About to pull the trigger on a Teenage Engineering EP–133 K.O. II.
Is there anything that does a better job around a similar price?! @bobswans.bsky.social @synthxndrharris.bsky.social
Just want something to noodle on, that could maybe be played out live and sync with my Volca Bass

Usual moans about Glastonbury line up from people not going and 'don't care about it'.
Never really got it when the line up is always stacked full of incredible stuff away from the main stages and most of which isn't televised anyway.

I second this, our Altern-8 in the hills night is sold out and I want a dance with my friends!
Dear World Leaders,
If you possibly could, please don’t start an all out massive thermonuclear war until after 15th March, as I’ve got a gig going on and I’d like one last chance for a little dance.

RIP Weatherall. 5 Years today.
Last year, on the 4th anniversary, EDSC celebrated one of the very best by going Weatherall-night-long. This is a 5 hour recording of that night.
The mix is made up of records played, made, remixed and inspired by the Guv'nor.

I'm absolutely made up we're about to sell out a 250cap night in an underused venue in the deepest, darkest, wilderness of West Yorkshire.
This time last year we didn't even have a soundsystem.
Grassroots, community, keeping the lights on - This is what it's all about for us.

On our trip to Akihabara, we stumbled across these vending machines with no idea what they were or why they were there. It was just as the sun went down. That little corner was quite eerie
"Cursed" Akihabara vending machines, AirBnB revolt in Tokyo, Swedish culture in Japan, and record hotel prices - read about these topics and more in the roundup of our most popular posts this week courtesy of the Unseen Japan Newsletter.

Microwave blew up last night (smoke, sparks, small flames) so for the very first time in my life, I've just made porridge on the hob.

ICYMI last night... We're putting on Altern 8 in the back room of a British Legion. It has a sprung dancefloor and sound comes original rave rig that's been round the M25 more than a few times (we've upgraded it a bit too). Don't think it gets much more proper than that!
I know promoters always say they're excited to be putting something but... 😲😲😲😲😲

The social anxiety tipping into my early signs of depression radar is off the charts today.
Had tickets for Charli XCX tonight, friends up from London, big night planned. All that.
Couldn't leave the house.
I'm taking it as a good thing that I'm recognising the signs this time around.
