why is aggressive music so hesitant to bring the funk with it? U donโt have to say no to funk to say yes to aggression. same w deconstructed music, why was the funk on the list of things to get rid of? why not mute everything but the funk instead of everything but zaps n glass?
so many infinite ways 2 live making music. U can be career lifer, u can be a part time worker, u can be job enjoyer + music at night, u can tour, u can never tour. Music doesn't have to be linked to goals. But it can be too! If one way doesn't work 4 u, try to see it + change
Yesterday, going around 70mph, with wife, baby son, and BFF/DJ partner inside, my carโs engine failed, the brakes stopped working, and the car lit on fire. We are all safe and sound, and it feels verrrrrry lucky to be typing this at all. THANKFUL THANKFUL THANKFUL

what music would even get played on your platforms without black music? Where would you be without them? Your shit wouldnโt exist. You are literal millionaires.
Y'all heard about Patrice Rushen by being hyper cool early on with your extended mix disco 12s and your cigarettes but I heard about her cuz of Men In Black OK so let's just both dance and have a good time
So when someone is playing guitar and in between the notes u hear the lil squeakers as they change where their fingers are: is there a word for the squeakies? Big fan of the squeaks. Are there records that are pure squeak?
RIP besides being a thoroughly cosmic g, in the early days of facebook events (fuck lol) we invited Manuel Gรถttsching to an FT party as a joke and he responded almost immediately w "Not Attending"
BEAUTIFUL SWIMMERS start a new residency on

Love, live from DC - 12PM EST
HOUSE & CURIOSITIES / BIG BLENDS / VOCALS - โU Are Now Rockin With The Best YESโ
some drum production shit that never fails: if u have a basic beat going on the hi hat (or any element), play it by hand for the whole track. Just like tap the button for 4 minutes instead of programming it. Even if it sounds exactly the same itโll be more funky
oscar the grouch is sick cuz he's full blown upset and pissed off but def 100% coming to your party every time. and he's down to try new things and shit too
German jazz funk is nuts youโll check the record out and every song suuuucks until u get to one of the funkiest things youโve ever heard in your life called like โCauliflower Chameleonโ or some shit
Visited the famous Royal Studios in the Memphis yesterday, home to Hi~Records and where Al Green cut all his hit records. Boo Mitchell surprised us when he pulled out this iconic drum sound used by Ann Peebles, later sampled by

I really must pause and say thank you to everyone supporting all the music from my side of the universe - the response to Max D Many Any and then Dolo 4, then Model Home 8 has been really fresh - โค๏ธโ๐ป๏ธ- and it is not gonna stop either - Swimmers comp out this Friday - ๐ - โค๏ธ
another real problem is that 95% of people who say they would purchase music from a label or artist's own, non-platform based music store are just straight up lying.
Kid asked for a candy cane and in front of 45 middle schoolers I said, not thinking:
"Yo do I look like Santa Claus to you?!"
It has sounded like the World Cup in here for the last 15 mins. I'm gettin fuckin roasted.
there really are a shitload of killer NTS shows right now, always crankin the Anu / OK Williams / Jim ORourke / TTT / the damn Corrupted special (!) / DEB / Bill Spencer / 8ulentina / Coby Sey / Time Is Away / Flo / Basma / EYE / Scratcha / way more too - WOOSH

Hypothesis: aggressive music carries a bad strain of whiteness with it wherever it goes, itโs why harsh techno hi hats hardly ever swing, why Detroit techno is so much better than all the other technos, why modern hyper tek jungle has no bump to it.

I never announced it specifically or did any RIP posts or anything but as we close out the year I wanna say thanks for everyone who came to the Future Times shop while it was open, it was a great little spot and yโall made it fun to hang in there and chop it up about music.
Music journalism is headed towards death (Iโm sad about it) but why spend so many words blaming it on anything but the big thing: very few can make any liveable money doing it right. That is really it.
TOMORROW!! BEAUTIFUL SWIMMERS - live in the mix from DC on

๐บ๐ธ12:00EST ๐ฌ๐ง17:00BST - another chapter in our 2022 residency - TUNE IN!
Do y'all know about kids without phones "texting" via shared google docs? I got a 8 year old doing that shit rn with a friend of hers who moved away. just updating the doc real time to talk this shit is amazing
Finally holding this record in my hand, I would like most to shout out Dolly James, who wrote and sung "It's My Life", but went uncredited on the original 12". She is a legend for this, the best vocal of all time.
America will spend my taxes on literally anything but helping poor Americans survive. will take food from a childโs mouth here to put a bullet in anotherโs overseas. The shame is endless.
