Wtf, thanks to all who voted me to 1st place at #boozedrome &lt;3 The voters must&#39;ve been drunk though, my two personal favourites (Madksh2 and JCO) didn&#39;t even make it to top 3?! ..just kidding of course, everyone did a great job. I had no use for the lower-end scoring options when voting!

#DiggingInTheShelves No. 63 Joss Moog - Hitting Switches Minority Music (2009) https://www.discogs.com/release/1918645 He goes by &quot;Joss Moog&quot; but mostly uses an MPC instead of a Moog. False advertising much?! Just kidding. Let&#39;s check out this house EP from the reliable French producer on Hector Moralez&#39; label. &quot;Rhodes Trip&quot; was always my favourite here. Hard beat, catchy Rhodes loop, simple bassline and an understated vocal clip whip up a ta...

#DiggingInTheShelves No. 64 Halvtrak - Dust Under Bridges EP Don&#39;t Be Afraid (2013) https://www.discogs.com/release/5065881 The debut EP of the frankly underrated producer from Tampere. &quot;Finding Yourself&quot; is a dark acid house track I enjoyed a lot back then. Clever production with layers of chords and synth lines fading in and out of the dry acid groove. The rest is no less effective. Every track brings its own twists to the usual acid blueprint. Quite melodic and -...

This is relevant to my interests. Genesis crew back in Coppi on October 10th with an acid event. Ought to be a good one.

(*) Oddly, the runout carvings have the sides reversed. I'm going by the label info and track titles.

I mean, I'm privileged enough to actually get paid to do something I find fun and stimulating. Why wouldn't the owner class want to fuck this up for me?

#DiggingInTheShelves No. 5 Admin - Spirit Boogie Omena LTD (2016) https://www.discogs.com/release/8334878-Admin-Spirit-Boogie Another one I had totally forgotten about. Maybe I should start grading these on an &quot;amnesia scale&quot;. What a nice surprise it was, too. Pleasant chill house built from dusty jazzy samples, also suitable for listening purposes. Somewhat similar to the works of HNNY (who&#39;s also appeared on the Omena label), just less tongue-in-cheek. The sample-he...

#DiggingInTheShelves No. 35 Jerome Sydenham Presents Jania Carvahlo - Deconstructed House (Phase 2) Ibadan (2001) https://www.discogs.com/release/14568 One of the lesser hyped Ibadan releases I guess, done in collaboration with the Brazilian artist Jãnia Carvahlo. Can&#39;t remember buying this, looks like a second hand dig. The concept is &quot;deep house with live instruments&quot; and what you hear is what you get. Smooth guitar and upright bass, mandatory percussion, chanty voc...

Welp, caught a cold so no Automaticamore or BDSM for me this weekend. On the plus side, it&#39;s a mild one (so far at least) so I&#39;m at least able to concentrate on home &quot;studio&quot; shenanigans..

Oh well, got to figure out a distro to replace Ubuntu for my daily desktop use at work then. It was (mostly) good while it lasted.

(*) Yes, I'm aware that her-supposed-brother co-produces some of the tracks and has even received detailed credit in recent releases. It's still presented as a solo project, so I'm treating it as such.

Also, just so we're clear on this, promotion of fascist-built LLM tools also counts as slop.

#DiggingInTheShelves No. 19 Petter - Some Polyphony EP Net's Work International (2006) https://www.discogs.com/release/785627 No, it's not the rapping Swedish Petter, but the Studio Barnhus cofounding Swedish Petter. I distinctly recall my purchase decision: I heard "Untight" in a mix by @teemup@ravenation.club and immediately thought "oh shit I need this". How I ended up with the single-sided Italian re-release with 2/3 of the songs on the original is a detail lost...

The recently widowed older gentleman downstairs seems to have developed a weekly ritual of blasting 70s and 80s disco hits at a loud volume in his apartment every Friday afternoon. Good for him. Also, they&#39;re mostly bangers tbh

#DiggingInTheShelves No. 33 Vernon &amp; DaCosta - On Fire A Second Smell (2008) https://www.discogs.com/release/1432213 Belgian house tools on a cheekily named (pun very much intended) sublabel of Aroma. I was buying a ton of 12&quot;s like this in &#39;07-09. &quot;On Fire&quot; is basically an edit of &quot;Nights&quot; by Billy Ocean. I like the original and recall getting some mileage out of this. Thanks to the gimmick-free production, I feel it could even work...
