Very cool to be included in @electronicsound.bsky.social ‘grassroots’ edition of the magazine. Thanks to @neilmason.bsky.social for asking! The accompanying CD has a cut from the latest Ogle tape via sister label Preston Capes. 🌞🙏❤️

You need this issue of ES in your life. I'd recommend the mag+double CD, but the mag on its own is pretty tasty this month...
It’s the first weekend in UK shops for the new Electronic Sound, which this month is a special issue devoted to Grassroots Electronica. You can also buy the mag from our website bundled with a double CD featuring 30 great underground electronic tracks. electronicsound.squarespace.com/shop/magazine
