A stream of consciousness by Laurence Hughes

Loved this account of the life and legacy of a hip-hop producer who changed the game.

I was back playing in the RBV cafe window for the first time since 2023, and it was a blast!

Listen to the show on Soundcloud.

For this mix I went from Japanese electronics and reggae into blissed out new Wah Wah Wino gear and my favourite from Tortoise’s amazing Touch LP, before an upbeat finale.

This retelling of Dickens’ David Copperfield set in Appalachia was a long but brilliant read.

A nice modern resource listing the now huge range of CSS properties on one page. There’s a neat search with autosuggest and each listed property links to a page with a short description plus MDN browser support data.

As mentioned on the recent Shop Talk Show episode with Jeremy Keith.

There was a heavy whiff of nostalgia about this gig for me. Jeff Mills is currently on a 30th anniversary tour of his mix album Live at the Liquid Room. I bought that album on cassette tape back then and was blown away by it. I subsequently first saw him DJ at the Arena in Glasgow in 1996. Since then I’ve experienced Jeff doing his thing many times and in various places around the world. His sets are the stuff of legend!
