I've been looking forward to reading this for a while. 10 pages in and it doesn't disappoint

Record and CD collector/hoarder. I've run out of space but I'm not going to let that stop me. Also: https://rolandoakes.bandcamp.com/ Primary School (a study of acid house and prime numbers) is released in June on Wormhole World. Remixes out in August.
Pre-orders go live in 2 days at @wormholeworld.bsky.social Roland Oakes remixed by: Roberta Fidora @robertafidora.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy Proc Freq Xqui @xqui.bsky.social Jez Thelwell of @moolakiiclubai.bsky.social Audio Obscura @audioobscura.bsky.social mintimperial @mintimperial.com
It's actually worth sharing the track list for Now 1. As compilations go, it's not bad at all. An absolute belter, in fact.
Roland Oakes@rolandoakes.bsky.social · 2w agoAt 5 years old, this compilation is probably the one that did it for me and got me into music. I loved this then (and I've still got the tape my mum had) and it still sounds absolutely great now.

Before I log off the socials again, here is a review from the latest @electronicsound.bsky.social Magazine. "The whole album is beautiful & showcases an artist who clearly puts a great deal of thought into his work... with thoughtful piano work, fuzzy electronics and cut-up ambient textures"
The August bundle has gone live on @wormholeworld.bsky.social and Primary School - The Remixes is in there. I can't wait for you to hear this. Roberta Fidora, Proc Freq, Xqui, Audio Obscura, Jez Thelwell and mintimperial have made something very special. wormholeworld.bandcamp.com/merch/wormho...

As #wildflowers is the top trending term on @bsky.app right now, I couldn't resist the opportunity to post my track of the same name, from Primary School, released last month. This is possibly slightly less tranquil than the other posts carrying this word wormholeworld.bandcamp.com/track/wildfl...
I think it's highly likely that the @wormholeworld.bsky.social August bundle will appear this week. The remixes of Primary School will be one of the 4 CDs. Roberta Fidora, Proc Freq, Xqui, Audio Obscura, Jez Thelwell and mintimperial have taken a track each and made it amazing.
Reggae singles with picture sleeves really are few and far between. I've got a sizable reggae collection but without digging into the UB40, this is the best I could do. #weekendsingles
This is drawn all over in black marker. Presumably the original owner did NOT want anyone to know what was on the turntable. Strangely, the camera has dealt with this really well. You can actually read it in that photo. In real life you can see the trojan name and logo but nothing else.
Squirrel Flowers has a new album out next month so I thought that now would be a good moment to return to this. Easily one of my favorite albums of the last 5 years.
Nobody ever actually used those stickers at the bottom, did they?
Just one for #weekendsingles for now. This one on Four Tet's Text Records has a locked groove in the middle of a side. Side A is a remix, track one on Side B is a remix and then it ends in a loop of silence. To hear the original version, you have to pick the needle up and drop it in that space.
If you liked Primary School, you'll love this. Roberta Fidora, Proc Freq, Xqui, Audio Obscura, Jez Thelwell and mintimperial have all taken a track each and worked their magic. The first CDs will be out as part of the Wormhole World bundle later this month. Full release in August.
Starting Sunday with this absolute beast of a funk groove
10 year old me would be absolutely disgusted that 20-something year old me would think that it was appropriate to record some songs on a CD, label it as Tunes #2 and make no record whatsoever of what was on it. 40-something year old me likes the mystery.
Just had a "is it Candi Staton or Frankie Knuckles" moment again. #6music
It's always a massive disappointment when a Friday night #totp doesn't start with the Wizard.
I absolutely adore this album. How is it 31 years old?!
WHAT A FUCKING RECORD@whatafuckingrecord.bsky.social · last mo.31
I've lived in Liverpool for 25 years and finally got around to going to Anfield for the first time yesterday.

This is the album that first got me listening to @audioobscura.bsky.social These three are all absolute masterpieces.
