What’s with drivers all of a sudden indicating right to go straight on at roundabouts? Bonus points for flicking your left indicator on after as you drive straight ahead. Stop it you fucking nuggets

I once tried to turn right at a roundabout. No further lessons were booked and fucked driving off for good as I’d be an absolute liability

I did balance a really useful crate with 100+ 12"s on my bike rack yesterday. I did’nt have far to go though

Every clip of music I hear from their sets sounds like it was created by AI

Background music in general. I’ve never understood people who can have music on quietly while they work - it’s either all in, or I’m out.

Back in summer 1997, when I stapled bits of paper for a living at the Customs office in Staines, someone would have Capital FM on all the time, at a low-end volume that was quiet enough not to scare the horses but audible enough to feed you lifelong earworm. Todd Terry ‘Something Going on’ and Rosie Gaines ‘Closer than Close’ and Gala (always Gala…) on auto-repeat. I would’ve preferred AIR or Zero 7 or something conspicuously chillout to fill the vacuum if not offset the monotony. The earworms don’t stay in the office. They’re in the bus and in the bath and on the karzy and I’m not sure this blight on our lives has been nearly researched enough

The way people describe a good night of tech house makes it sound like they want it as a sort of background dirge sometimes. I had an “amazing 5 hour set” described to me recently and it sounded like they really enjoyed the persistent groove, with the variations in style being minimal, but spread throughout multiple, well selected songs to keep an overarching theme and sound.
I want to understand this mindset more than i am seemingly capable of. I think i just need to hear a really good example of someone doing it, maybe i needed to be there on that night to hear that/those dj/djs.

I enjoy a set of slowly evolving grooves, when it’s done with functional dance music. There’s an enjoyment to the mindlessness of it if that makes sense. The best example I’ve experienced was Hashman Deejay playing a groove-oriented deep house set that circled around and around. Subtle and trance-inducing, there’s a real art to it if done well.

One of those ones where the songs that sample it are typically better than the original.
I love the song. I love playing it; dancing to it; all the songs that I’ve got that sample it; and all the cover versions of it that I’ve got. I’ve got an edit of it too (just with the intro tidied up), and I love that too.
