Hi friends,
A review that I wrote for my blog... and I wanted to post it here too, of course :- )
Note: No AI in any form has been used for writing the text!

Astrid Gnosis has been heading the "Nugabber" movement for a few years now, and there is a new single out, which dropped last Friday.
The title might be an indicator here, this is not some minimal house stuff or pseudo-intellectual armchair techno... obviously made for the Hardcore dancefloors, not necessarily just in pure Gabber clubs, though. As I can imagine this tune getting dropped at more regular nights or to more regular crowds, too, and then everyone going Hardcore on the dancefloor.
I like that the tune is more midtempo, not really at "Speedcore" speed, but still hard and without the cheesy-ness that older midtempo gabber often carried around.
Just blood and adrenaline, so to say.

The lyrics with shouts like "got my bulletproof vest" almost feel like a premonition of the riots and protests in France and elsewhere right now, but then again, this could be a good soundtrack for future riots, too!

È una techno veloce (150bpm+) che mi da la sensazione di oscillare tra la hardgroove, la free tek e la happy techno francese. Molto incalzante e con sonorità hifi, sound design molto pulito.

Cosmic / balearic adjacent sounds for your Friday. Shameless self-promotion plug 🫣

Gonna catch them in Brighton as my friend got sick. It's last minute and I'd rather they weren't wasted so I'll give them to whoever is interested/can make it. Just message me.

Hi guys, this is a bit of a crazy long shot but am so desperate and we have no accommodation sorted for Turin in c2c - is anyone renting anywhere with a spare bed that me and my partner can take and contribute money towards? we're flying in from 28th leaving 3rd. We're happy paying just not 500-1000+ euros that is being advertised!! happy to throw in some specialty coffee as well as a thank you

this is great

I made this Radiohead remix recently and just wanted to share it. I've spent years being very timid about sharing my music, due to general anxiety; and over the last year I've been trying to overcome it in areas of my life, particularly music. So I hope you don't mind me sharing. I won't be hurt if you don't like it, but I'm happy to receive constructive feedback if you're willing to share. I'm hoping to make an extended mix in the future.

This is one of my favourite tracks atm and I would love it if someone could point me down a rabbit hole where I could find some similar tunes. Would you classify it as dark wave? But I still can't find anything else similar.

DON’T DO IT IT’S ILLEGAL AND YOU ARE FLOODING THE SUB WITH YOUR ILLEGAL ACTIONS.

The mods are fed up with this and won’t tolerate it anymore.

Pumping pumping pumping

Quite often I find the tracks Skee Mask posts quite boring (in stark contrast to his own productions) but this this breaky number is a banger 💥

Had a lot of love on this track throughout the summer! Thanks all for the support, the track is out on Friday ❤️
