BIG MAMA, by Flying Lotus 8 track album

New FlyLo EP is out today. Probably the most epic 13 minutes of music so far in 2026. Touches every genre in the radius of futuristic 8-bit laser hardcore space jazz. I hope there’s more of this coming soon.

Wildflowers and Waveforms — Loula Yorke's 'Hydrology' From squat parties to a cottage on a wildflower common, Loula Yorke has built a practice around beauty, ecological dread, and the feminist history that 'Hydrology' quietly carries forward.

FedEx just hit me with a customs bill weeks after delivery. I already paid 20€ for shipping, now they want an additional $20, and whatever I can pay the extra tarif but but 15$ of that is just a FedEx fee. Why the lack of transparency?

In memory of Éliane Radigue the makers of this documentary have made it free to view online. What a lovely gesture

qd46 Machinefabriek @machinefabriek.bsky.social Listening party tonight - thanks for the support so far!

Special thanks to everyone that’s bought the CD, the first batch went out yesterday and more going today - as always remember to message me for the long-form edition if you picked one up!

Superb show by Makaya McCraven, Junius Paul, and Marquis Hill tonight! Review coming later this week

Forever changed by Éliane Radigue's music. Now she has gone into a vast silence. Thank you.

R.I.P. Éliane Radigue, one of the most innovative and radical composers of our century- if you haven’t heard her music yet, prepare for something simultaneously delicate and oceanic. I don’t love the word “genius” but she deserves it.

I only ever read it in the bookstore but same

I tried to pick a record I got at 19 that was new at the time. Saw them at Skirball at NYU maybe June 2003?

I think it’s still around but it was a very nicely designed and expensive anti consumerist magazine

Drop an album that was important to you when you were 19

This mix was made on a visit to Vancouver Island, and the accompanying photo is from the waterfront in São Luís, Brazil.
