Yeah, each "series" tends to be in a similar bpm/"instrument" range/style. That being said, I do wish Aleksi would be more informational about concept/intent/artistic statements regarding each of the series, specifically delineating what he was going for/working with, since all we get are the "cover art" and name of the series to work with (no track titles...) He did state in one interview the difference between various projects at the time being analogue vs digital, but I can't remember now which ones those were... At least, a good number of them are "pay what you will" so I'm not completely out of dosh every month...
I believe the Ovuca stuff is hardware only, the Aleksi stuff not so.

“sorry for the lack of updates. The CD is coming soon. I’m aiming to ship it out in November/December. I know it’s been so long since it was announced but many people complained when I released the unreleased stuff on vinyl that I’ve tried to make up for it in having more remixes added to the package. It’s taken longer than I thought to get all the remixes done but it’s almost ready now but if you still want a refund please let me know and I will issue a refund. Cheers”

381 people bought this on bandcamp, me included. That's $11k+ taken in (before fees admittedly). Very disappointing.

I wonder if this will ever see the light of day?

Why is the 2lp vinyl 89 and the digital 29? 60 for double vinyl, tracks sound great? I'm not paying that but it sounds great. I love speedy j I'm not paying that fuck that, Pannik use to be a favourite back in the day on Mute, also loved De-Orbit on Warp and Extra-Sensory on R&S, the bloke is a techno legend no doubt
Public Energy No. 1. Hoo mama!

You need to be in a special mood for textural techno from Jochem George Papp et al? Pffffft, you amateurs.

PREVIEWS OF ALL TRACKS: on.soundcloud.com/tTp4D
Going back to 2020: As the clubs shut down and techno culture became restricted to virtual spaces, the Stay Home Soundsystem project was conceived as a live stream in which invited artists would improvise with Speedy J at STOOR. Initially, invited artists who were able to make it to the studio would arrive on a Sunday afternoon, set up their own equipment or work with the expansive in-house kit list, do a brief technical check and then the stream would go live to the global STOOR community. No rules, no preparation, just purely responsive sonic exploration. Over time, these weekly sessions had to reach beyond people who could make it to STOOR in person, and so a solution was found for artists to jam with Speedy J remotely, in real time.
The simple fact of achieving this technical challenge was notable in itself, as the STOOR team found a way to sync and merge streams of jammed hardware audio from separate studios through one DAW. It created a unique experience where participants had to respond to nothing but their collaborator’s audio, often resulting in a particular kind of focus without the aid of body language, visual cues or verbal communication.
Stay Home Soundsystem was born from the spirit of community, and finding a way to maintain that spirit without being in the same physical space. The compilation sums up that community by drawing on original material conceived in these improvisational sessions. The digital release features tracks from almost each session, spanning world-famous electronic musicians, exciting underground names and breakthrough talent. The chosen pieces were selected through a process that involved the musicians as well as the STOOR community on Discord. Shared peaks of musical enlightenment are usually remembered in physical spaces, but here they were stand-out moments people experienced together in the chat room, or by revisiting the streams on YouTube after the fact.
As well as the digital release, there will also be a double vinyl compilation of selected highlights. STOOR has been known for running its own in-house vinyl lathe, and so this limited physical edition will also be cut in-house on transparent 12”. This time however, the usual low-key green envelope sleeves and white-label aesthetics of most STOOR releases will be replaced by a full gatefold package featuring artwork from the visual artists who also collaborated and contributed to the Stay Home Soundsystem streams.
Far from a straight-up techno collection, the selections which make up this compilation reach across a broad spectrum of subtler experimental passages as much as kinetic, rhythmically-focused workouts. It’s a telling reflection of the effect lockdown had on our listening habits, as we collectively honed in on the music without distraction. The world may still be in the process of responding to the pandemic, but Stay Home Soundsystem documents the curious sense of togetherness people felt at the beginning of this complex period, when we were all unified in being apart, looking for ways to express ourselves and enjoy the expressions of others.- 3

I know y'all are thinking "Revanchist" is an anagram of "Evian Christ", but it's actually not. Just sayin".
The album should be called “I Revanchist”. Fits nicely with the self regarding pomposity.
Yeah, that or ‘Chive Strain’.

Also, btw..... can we cut out this hate speech against the DJ Shadow community in general? Cause..... idk, apparently..... apparently nowadays, we are only apart of groups and communities nowadays, none of us care about individuals no more... it's sad, apparently nowadays.....
....Anyway, I'm just sayin'..... seriously @mcbpete and this goes to anybody else..... brah... or brahs.... ok if "brahs" is even a word, probably not idk.... if y'all keep offendin' or whatever....... I'm gonna have'ta call my friendly neighborhood Karen bay babe to deal with you, and she gonna go ahead and eventually call the police and whatever else modern day Karens generally do nowadays on you and that.... and then yeah, YOU have to deal with that.... and not me finally, PHEW!!!!!.... ahem....

God, this guy's stuff just comes across as so self indulgent to me, there’s something very insincere about it too. Trying so, so hard to sound absolutely epic, all of the time.
The blurb for the album is revolting too.
