All new to me. Liking this as a way to bookmark it for Monday morning so I have a nice stack of music to listen though while I work.

Interesting, although you might want to … erm… update the vibes come 2026?
No deep commentary intended - just finding it very amusing how literally it took what I presume was a request to prioritise posts in the current year.
Strong vibes from `items2025`.

Woo! Nice one. A small but impactful change. I overheard the weird “AI” DJ thing the other day and it felt so… insincere? Plenty of other interesting sources of musical entropy out there, both human and algorithmic.

Got to love how genetic algorithms can be accidentally hilarious.
I once had a go at evolving a maze navigating bot. Rather than solve the maze, the bot learned to exploit a bug in my physics code and would drive through walls instead.
Looking forward to seeing where this reverb work takes you.

Ah yes. The formative experience of trying to precariously balance a MacBook somewhere in between a pair of CDJ1000s without accidentally pulling out a USB cable or loosing the whole computer into the utterly grim void down the back of the DJ booth.

Nice! Would love to have a go at building an LSDJ / M8 like tracker for the 3DS.

I have printed copies of some of my very first attempts at programming circa 2007ish. We have a direct insight into my thought process as I commented _every single_ line of code.

I have fond memories of using the select button glitch warp on these side scrolling rooms to drop Link into a the most spectacularly glitched up dungeons.
