yeah, i also hear that the "Latatoo" mp3 release on Monotonik is really nice as well. there are a couple of remixes including Secede and Sense.

sweet action.

that's nearly 8 months old

Someone gets upset when he is reminded that he missed this entire festival while in Berlin.

This is only supposed to last around 30 minutes, but all the reviews are raving.

lol, well roll me up and smoke the turkey! sheesh.

in other words, im trying to catch up with all of the great releases from yesteryear; so when i come up with a new release it's usually a novelty.

yeah, the Keith Rowe/Fennesz release was worth every penny...

Synkro's self-titled debut...

damn good breakcore. Get it while you can.

This is the schedule of performances from the German festival. There should be a lot of good new stuff coming from all these performances. That first 12tet peformance looks like it would have been a sweet opening.

The 12tet or the festival?

I know I am only 16, but for one festival, that looks like a pretty impressive collection of musicians.
