    We Are The Music Makers | Volume One by Various Polar Inertia releases are few and far between, but all are worth your while: glacially hypnotic and cinematic techno with experimental and industrial overtones. Environment Control is their second album, although it could also be counted as the first, because Ripped Through The Valley was more of a live recording than an album proper. Inspired by Paul Virilio's book of the same name, Polar Inertia's releases are named after the chapters in the book. Highly recommended.

    How Russell became a live breakbeat machine. He's great.

    Get your ears on this, it's sublime.

    Most (but not all, natch) venues will have Pioneer CDJ/XDJ players and a DJM series mixer, so I would suggest a pair of XDJ-700s and a DJM-250 - they're entry-level versions of what you'll mostly see at gigs. I've been DJing for over 30 years, and I have a pair of XDJ-700s, a pair of Technics SL-1200MK5s and an Ecler NUO 4.0 analog mixer here at home. There are cheaper (non-Pioneer) options, but Pioneer DJ kit is the industry standard, so if you go with something else, YMMV.

    We Are The Music Makers | Volume One by Various I was under the impression that Lee Norris' Neo Ouija was about to go defunct, but doesn't seem to have, as they've released a new, massive Cottage Industries compilation on limited edition 3xCD, lathe-cut 2x10", and in digital. The Cottage Industries compilations are among the best IDM compilations ever, if not THE best. Extremely highly recommended.

    To drive the point home, I want WATMM to do the opposite, or at least steer well clear of Cory Doctorow's Enshittification.

    Just got this reply to an email I sent last week. TL;DR shipping could start in March or April.

    10 USD/year for EKT (and the cheaper tiers even moreso) is a pittance for all this we have and get here, especially as we all know Joyrex nor anyone else is making money out of WATMM, it's all going towards hosting, disk space, admin, and whatnot - this here forum is not a commercial entity, but a labour of love. A lot of people are spending more on cigarettes, beer, or other non-essentials per week, or even on a daily basis. WATMM is a subscription service that gives back way more that it takes, so I, for one, gladly support a community I feel strong affinity towards. I prefer to err in the direction of being principled rather than freeloading, and like I already mentioned, the subscription price is a non-issue, at least to me - but YMMV.

    I've paid from the get-go. Targeted/personalized ads following you around the internet is a nuisance. I'm adblocked up the wazoo, but I still prefer to contribute financially to the upkeep of a forum whose thematic and (para-)social dimensions overlap so greatly with mine as WATMM does. I would go as far as to prefer a completely gated/closed community, with no outside (Google) content indexing because we're regularly discussing very personal things, too, and having all that searchable from outside is a bit iffy. But that's just me. The contributed amount is completely inconsequential.

    My favourite Christian Bloch & Bjørn Svin - NRSB Session 5. Simple Muzik at its finest. Ice-cold arpeggiated minimalism.

    We Are The Music Makers | Volume One by Various Wonderfully glitchy IDM four-tracker V/A in Satellite Era's Distant Arrays series. Ton Mise, Hexalyne, Naudible, and AZ-Rotator in effect. Highly recommended.

    I had most of the records in the the binder sleeves but inside the stickered thinner plastic sleeves (which I also still have) the individual records were sold in, but I figured out quite early that plastic will degrade the vinyl, and transferred them to paper inner sleeves inside the plastic ones in the binder. They have a bit of cloudiness to them, but no added surface noise or sound degradation. Like I wrote before I've been thinking about selling (because I don't really care about the music that much, and I have the extended digital collection as WAVs), but I have no idea whatsoever what a decent but not extortionate price would be (for the binder and a full set of 12 records). I've never sold any records except inadvertently obtained duplicates, so I wouldn't be too optimistic about letting it go. But you can always try.
