What I'm listening to today: "Drummertime and Brainstep Jam 1", Tubbutec

YouTube account for a modular synth company posts a demo of their modules. Process-wise the most interesting thing here is a 808/Volca style performance sequencer/drum machine made with computer-keyboard keycaps and fit to the 1U space on an Intellijel. Musically the standout is some *really* freaky glide that turns some competent but standard acid into something really odd sounding.

What I'm listening to today: "Njalo Njalo", Nomisupasta featuring Rapsody and Madlib

Johannesburg singer makes some deeply satisfying funk in collaboration with diaspora members from LA and North Carolina, styles seamlessly integrated like hip hop is leaking backward into the 1970s. Immaculate scrongly bassline. "Njalo" is Zulu for "always" and "Njalo njalo" appears to mean "and so on…"

I believe this is an early release from an album landing early next year.
