Can't believe I've been intermittently visiting this forum for about half my life. What the hell? I remember I used to lurk before ever joining since I remember joining being some weird restricted thing. If I'm remembering wrong, disregard, but I think that was the case.

His consistency along with how prolific he is remains impressive.

Yeah, it's sure been a minute here hasn't it?

I love this thread lmao.

These samples rule, as someone that has never really listened to his stuff.

As an American teenager in 2007, I also feel weird about it. That whole era of my life, as far as music, was getting really into what was coming out of the French scene, New Rave (like Klaxons), and starting to listen to various WARP and SKAM artists. I remember first finding the "Waters of Nazareth" EP they had posted on their Myspace, then listening to Mr. Oizo, Kavinsky, Surkin and SebastiAn too (just to name a few, I have a few of the Ed Rec. compilation albums). I grew out of liking much of what Justice was doing after their "Cross" album since they seemed to drift into a more polished (or maybe even poppy?) sound when I was initially attracted to the grit/bit-crushed sounds they had earlier (I still love DVNO and D.A.N.C.E. though, those are classic tracks). I think I had some bootlegs of their "I Love Techno" 2006 live set. Quick fun anecdote with that one is that my now partner also had that rip back when she was in high school and we only ever got to talking about it, since we had both moved on a bit in our lives, because she loved the Teenage Bad Girl remix of Scissor Sisters. It was fun to re-converge on something I thought no one around me would ever know about independent of me showing it to them since almost none of my IRL friends dig my musical taste. Also, that picture of them with their gear unplugged is pretty damn hilarious. Cheers from over on this side of the planet, anyhow.

Loving all the love for Brothomstates here. Still some of my favorite tunes to come from this era and thanks for the point to the Squadron album, I'd never heard most of this before (wow do I wish I could listen to Lexaunculpt for the first time again)!

I love Todd Edwards but this is hilariously bad. It looks like a fuckin' Viper album cover.

I've found this album to hold up incredibly. Still love putting on Exai (and L-Event).

There's a lot of really fun hyper-PS1-era-nostalgia breakcore coming out lately (Tokyopill, Golemm, bye2, Aomori, others) that I've been loving.

Some day, dudes. Are bucket hats like a normal thing to wear in the UK, or is this the Jenkinson special (Andy can rock a mean bucket hat too)?

Maybe another time. I had gone as far as getting tickets my SO and I and picking out my outfit.

@ignatius You think the fucker actually makes it to Portland the next time he tours (fucking COVID, man).

I use Linux SLSE12 for my work, it's pneat. The preview track goes hard as hell and I'm so here for it, it absolutely rips around and would turn an Ancient Etruscan into a pink mist.

Yeah. He has one called "Sunshift" that has never seen a release.
