Oh my god the Monster one from a few weeks ago is phenomenal. I've listened to so many tedious blocky warehouse techno mixes lately and have been just about ready to give up but this one pounds and is full of colour.

Low Jack promising so farsaw partial sets from both the preceding last year 🙏

This Paramida mix is ideal for being stuck in the house and pretending you aren't.

amazing how it could potentially either be a fuck-you for being #woke, or it could be a fuck-you for all the ways they've failed at being #woke in recent times

maybe he doesn’t like how they review his records
― mh, Tuesday, 26 May 2020 14:11 (three years ago) link
I would need to go through the archives but Omar-S seems to be in that league of Critically Acclaimed Auteurs who always seem to get praise all-round for everything they do
― boxedjoy, Tuesday, 26 May 2020 14:14 (three years ago) link
they keep routing obnoxious RA fans to his shows

You can't do this just glancing at the scores anymore. Maybe he's pissed they aren't grading his rekkids anymore!

reviews of the last few omar records in RA have been lukewarm at best

LOL.
I bet RA are secretly loving this.

It's quite fashionable to have a pop at RA these days.

It's all going off on Twitter now, they've donated five hundred dollars towards George Floyd/Minnesota while it's claimed they turned over a profit of nearly five million last year
― boxedjoy, Monday, 1 June 2020 20:55 (three years ago) link
It's hard to imagine they're so successful! But what do I know...the site is clearly a loss leader, I guess all those festivals/events are lucrative?
― change display name (Jordan), Monday, 1 June 2020 20:58 (three years ago) link
yeah it's been blowing my mind, I'm not sure I believe it tbh but at the same time they pretty much have a dominance in ticket sales for dance events don't they
― boxedjoy, Monday, 1 June 2020 21:02 (three years ago) link
i'm guessing that ticketing agencies and festival organisers alike are having a particularly rough time financially at the moment - zero income and a shit load of refunds to make. but they do need to address this current situation and explain themselves
― Boris the Spreader (NickB), Monday, 1 June 2020 21:21 (three years ago) link
here's their tweet btw if anyone wants to read it. it is a pitiful amount:

they put out a statement today about these issues:

Have they abandoned running new reviews (or a new podcast)?

the dj tennis podcast/mix is totally hitting the spot for me.not really a mix to be honest, just a 70 minute ambient house sonic collage of his own material/field recordings.the last section dives into a glorious krautrock groove.
― mark e, Friday, 19 June 2020 18:03 (three years ago) link
Yeah that one's good and I usually find DJ Tennis pretty dull.
Kush Jones this week though is right up there.

Yes! He has a bunch of other great mixes on his Soundcloud, too.

I’ve got more thoughts, but in brief: yes, this is the type of thing I want to read more of
another panel @ Unsound got distributed by RA via their podcast series but this one was not, and went hard on some similar issues:http://truantsblog.com/2020/unsound-2019-complicity-accountability-agency-counterculture/
I was in the audience for most of it and was just locked in
― solo scampito (mh), Monday, 13 July 2020 21:55 (three years ago) link
I think RA actually solicited a year-end piece from DeForrest Brown Jr. that he ended up self-publishing because they decided not to run it
― solo scampito (mh), Monday, 13 July 2020 21:58 (three years ago) link
had not seen but looks like timely and valuable scholarship, thanks
― the late great, Monday, 13 July 2020 22:00 (three years ago) link
One of the things I liked most about it was its specificity - who didn't get covered, which structures contributed to their exclusion, etc. It was clear but very dense. vs say the Quietus piece recently which was fine as far as it went, but did we need much more than "why are these rich white house producers getting so much attention"
― lukas, Monday, 13 July 2020 22:02 (three years ago) link
yeah i do wonder with its uk focus how much sense it will make to me ... would be interested to see someone to do this for like, los angeles and the us scene in general, though our electronic music press and scene are much more marginal
― the late great, Monday, 13 July 2020 22:05 (three years ago) link
That R.O.S.H. letter is incredible. I'm sorry i missed it until now - how long has it been online?
so much i agree with but also so much eye opening food for thought, and hopefully food for change.
― stirmonster, Monday, 13 July 2020 23:17 (three years ago) link
the single RA writer singled out is the one I, admittedly, have spotted the most at events I’ve been at. I think it’s odd he’d have even been assigned to cover some of those events/scenes due to locale (NA vs UK/Europe/etc)
― solo scampito (mh), Monday, 13 July 2020 23:59 (three years ago) link
not sure how long it's been online, just saw it today, but since I'm in California assumed it had made the rounds already.
