I must have somehow mentally suppressed the fact that Marcus Intalex passed away in May 2017? Marcus Julian Kaye (1971-2017) It is another tragic and tremendous loss. I cannot and I will not write about that. I did not know him and I don’t think that I’ve ever met him, but I do know him… Continue reading I Forgot About Marcus

Ascenseur Pour L’échafaud
“[La vie c’est une…] modification perpétuelle.” Jeanne Moreau, (1928–2017) “Ascenseur Pour L’échafaud” (Elevator to the Gallows, 1958) is the title of French film director Louis Malle’s debut and it stars the quintessentially French actress Jeanne Moreau. She was or is the very definition of what it means to be refined, dignified and civilised. Even though… Continue reading Ascenseur Pour L’échafaud
You Know What They Call Us?
No, that is not it! …it could very well be: Digital Dreads.
What Is The Big Deal?
Well, the music you are currently listening to has a rather long history. And it really doesn’t matter what kind it is, what you may call it or what you are actually listening to. It is an unfortunate consequence of the (should-be-feared) post-structuralism, since they did away with the concept of history all together. The… Continue reading What Is The Big Deal?
The Overstretch
I do know that I’ve been accused of overdoing things. Exaggerate and even possible more often than the other way around. But, this is proper breaks. The new from the old, the ancient stuff, the good stuff. The eternal and all mighty bass, progressing through time, the one that captured me so many years ago… Continue reading The Overstretch
No, I Will Never…
Current politics? The very old and bat-crazy Agent Orange, May or may I not, the young cookie Macron, Batra, Åkesson, Lööf and the rest? They come and go but bass is eternal. “Le tam-tam” has been here from the start, eternal and truly indestructible. It simply can not be destroyed. Like Plastician: rinse.fm. Does that… Continue reading No, I Will Never…
180 Tracks And 14 Hours?
“The Isotope Cobalt Full Mix” by the one and only Roel Funcken. It is so typical of my/our time. Always the sensory overload. A fourteen hour mix? Talk about flooding the system… 14 hrs? I am not adding 180 tracks to discogs.com manually, but I think there is an API, so maybe I could try… Continue reading 180 Tracks And 14 Hours?
Everyday A Holiday And Africa Is A Road?
No, I’m destroyed again, I got trashed, again? By a opening track of a two hour set? Are you serious? Oh, my lord that is rough bass music! Would have killed half or more of the crowd playing that. The rest would be in need of medical attention and then some. I am in need… Continue reading Everyday A Holiday And Africa Is A Road?
It Is Just Not Fair
Why? Well, that is close to three decades now. And that is nothing less than three decades of trashing, beating and bass superiority, continuing three decades and moving on? Apart from the joy of the music? It is humiliating and abusive. The UK-bass face slap, again… 30 years of face slapping? And it never stops?… Continue reading It Is Just Not Fair
You Say What Now?
Digital Dread? “It is the flip to Fashion Dread.” rinse.fm. Did you happen to read: “Fashion Dreads” (scroll down)? Come on! D-bridge is on f**king fire and so am I it would seem. Burning that is. You have got to be kidding me… That’s digital global culture for you right there. “Get a grip”. Do… Continue reading You Say What Now?
