CW: PNW Heat Wave
The heat pump at my house broke last night. This means our central air conditioning no longer works.
I am a quietly laughing lizard. hhhehehe.

Doing some music shopping today and found the Bassbin Twins bandcamp page. Picked up the Beats Are King EP.
Paging @b.@t.z. , you might be interested in this, new Bassbin Twins in the classic style.

MTT 226 / Island Platform
Slow downtempo and dub this week, a heavy sound. Illbient. Most of this selection is older, '90s and early 2000s, with the exception of one track by Hong Kong Express and one track by Mikron.

Posting 226 early so I can sleep. Not my best work - a couple transitions are kinda badly phrased but otherwise it's OK. I dunno.
I'm happy I got to dig out my copy of Terran Invasion of Alpha Centauri Year 2794.

Watching Death Guild at DNA Lounge from home tonight. It's really going off - good music selection, good crowd.
I need to get out and go dancing soon.

And now that that's done I'm going to take a break and chomp on some garlic bread. Try not to think of all the wrong words I just lined up.
MTT 225 / Nobody Home
An hour of relaxed melancholic electro and IDM floating around 120 BPM. This set features new tracks from Brokntoys, CPU Records, and another piece from Mariska Neerman's Finding Our Way Back Home EP.

These longer daylight hours as we head into summer are messing with my perception of time.
I might be a little late uploading / announcing tonight's mix. I didn't start recording until 5:30 PM.

I went to the arcade tonight for the first time in over a year. Just got home.
Feels... different. Confusing. Not sure what to make of it yet.

Not my best work, but serviceable. I should've let Last Transport by Sonar Base run a little longer.
The tracks are all good, and I didn't get in the way too much. That's what matters.
MTT 224 / Out At Night
Playing mostly familiar tracks this week, although there are a couple new ones. Electro, standard 130, spacey stuff. New music from Silicon Scally's Revelations EP on CPU, London Modular Alliance's Cracked Dice EP also on CPU, and Mariska Neerman's Finding Our Way Back Home EP on HC Records.

CW: post-pandemic anxiety
I'm vaccinated now, so I'll be there at GK to say hi to friends (hopefully I can get in - limited capacity).
I have complicated and confusing feelings about all this. About the transition into a post-pandemic world. I'm not ready to return to "normal"; I don't think I can return to "normal". Too much has happened.

Very happy to report that the Raspberry Pi 400 works great as a DVS system running xwax using the standard raspbian install.
I hooked up a screen and an audio interface (an M-Audio Conectiv Synchroscience), turned off bluetooth, and installed xwax via the add/remove software dialog. (xwax is in the default software repos).
No dropouts or problems I noticed. Timecode sources were a 1200 with Serato CV 2.5 and a Denon S-5000 with the Serato Control CD 1.0.
MTT 223 / Crossed Mind
Electro, techno; Technobass. This mix features new music by Dvidevat, Nulla, and DJ Di'jital as well as a newly remastered track from the excellent label Southern Outpost.
