Welcome to my blog, I write about the music I like.
An autobiographical record, marking 10 years since Octo Octa publicly came out as trans, Sigils for Survival is also a defiant celebration of the healing and unifying power of dance music. Recorded on old school hardware, it embodies the physicality and energy of the rave.
Hard Normal Daddy was Squarepusher's first album to come out on Warp Records, the label that would remain his home until the present day. Released in 1997, it’s a far more consistent and comprehensive artistic statement than his debut. Check out my video review
Take a deep dive into Feed Me Weird Things, the debut album from Squarepusher (aka Tom Jenkinson), released in 1996 on Aphex Twin’s Rephlex label. Check out my video review

Andrea - Ritorno (2020). This is another record, along with Shred and Compro by Skee Mask and Engravings by Forest Swords, which is fast becoming one of my favourite electronic albums of the last 12 months (that I’ve listened to - those others weren’t released in the last 12 months). I’m finding it hard to … Continue reading 29/05/2020 – This week I have been mostly listening to
