Everyone, of course, knows I Feel Love but this is a useful 2-part intro to the story behind the track. I’m mostly interested in the other people behind the scenes, Pete Bellotte and Robbie Wedel and whether they produced any other forgotten gems using the same toys around that time?
Just heard this guy on the radio. Book sounds great. One for the social media addiction/ recovery thread.
The Secret DJ vs Steve Proctor flame wars on Facebook - ramping up

An electronic music producer with greying hair and stubble is here to sell £10,000 of gold from what he calls his “Armageddon fund,” which he started just in case he needs to get out of London in a hurry.
looks like we lost a recent post about jimmy iovine predicting the death spiral of spotify - please repost if you can, googling doesn’t get me to that substack or blog post or whatever it was.
