Ambient dub techno or dubby ambient techno? Short Span is quickly becoming a buy on sight label for me. This new one from Conna Haraway did not miss.

Huge congratulations to our friend Daniel Blumberg and all the amazing musicians he worked with for winning an Oscar for best original score! Daniel has been a big part of the OTO community for many years and we were really pleased to have some of the score recorded here, featuring so many musicians we care deeply about.

Why are we striking?
GMG says the sale is “necessary”. But the Observer is a successful part of the Guardian family
The deal has been rushed through in secret, without considering other bids
Our owners have a £1.3bn fund & a duty to protect liberal journalism - why not invest?

Today Guardian & Observer journalists are on strike for 48 hours over plans to sell the Observer to a loss-making digital start up and put its journalism behind a paywall.🧵

To me @DJEZOfficial is the finest DJ Britain ever produced, the Technics Hendrix and icon of UKG. Here’s me asking him about receiving threats before sets, not drinking and people thinking he’s autistic. Also ft @I_Skream & @ElizaRosemuzik 🧢 theguardian.com/music/2024/n…

Hello! Louder is on the hunt for new writers. I am particularly interested in hearing from *new* and aspiring writers who may still be developing their voice, from backgrounds typically underrepresented by the alternative music press.

I’m not a puppet Elon.. I’m a daughter of two immigrant parents that had to work their ass off to provide for me! I’m a product of welfare, I’m a product of section 8, I’m a product of poverty and I’m a product of what happens when the system is set up against you….But you don’t know nothing about that. You don’t know not one thing about the American struggle…. PS fix my algorithm

Patrick Cowley was a pioneer of electronic dance music. He was born in Buffalo, NY and today is his birthday. It’s really hard to find his grave, so I fixed it.
