Ok, my wallet got drained - all ENS, all Moxie, pretty much everything of value. Can anyone help me to trace what happened? I haven't even touched metamask in ten days or so!
I have a never opened Ledger Nano X Art Blocks edition. These were never for sale, afaik they were only handed out to a few people at NFT Paris in 2023. Not sure what to do with it. Anyone wants to buy it?

Last month I played a 3h set at Outra Cena in Lisbon - in my opinion one of the best clubs in Europe right now.

This was the most fun I had in the booth in a long time, stoked to share the full recording of my set!

Milady holders are not very smart people and I have very little to no respect for them. How else would they get behind someone who sounds like a bargain-bin Alan Moore villain who is regurgitating stale 4-chan drivel? Strip away the tryhard mysticism and the overwrought phrasing all that's left is recycled basement-dwelling red pill nonsense.

ngl, pretty surprised that people in the USA aren't taking the streets. i'm not a political analyst, but there's no way to vote yourself out of this situation - this is so extreme that it requires an uprising. the complacency and naivety is mind-boggling. this is not just white supremacy on steroids, but an era of fascist class warfare.
Crypto's most visible cultural achievement so far has been to get Blau to play to the inauguration on a folding table. Not a diss, just an observation.
Here's a practical guide for everyone who's still confused

There's no difference between the German businessmen who joined the Nazi party in 1939 to protect their assets and anyone who bought the Trump token. Thats exactly the kind of complicity that fascism requires to function.
Crucial EP from Chinese, Taiyuan-based producer 444theGod following their atmospherically-blessed debut album for Genome6.66Mbp. 'Oxygen Activation' offers four cuts of muscular club pressure,delivers a masterclass in contemporary hard drum dynamics, going straight for the jugular with precision-tooled hard drum architecture and body-moving bass weight.

New Jersey's Wilhelmina is quickly shaping up to become one of the most exciting producers right now - his newest EP, SALAHILO, blends East-Coast club music with traditional and electronic sounds from Southeast Asia, featuring percussive tracks that incorporate budots, kulintang, Thaibeat, and gqom even, while highlighting the hypnotic timbres of gongs in a dancefloor-ready fusion.

Since a lot of you live in Portugal these days - playing my Portugal debut this weekend.

Hitting Porto on Friday for an all night set at Pasos Manuel first and then joining a massive line-up at Outra Cena in Lisbon on Saturday!

Pop by for a rave if you're around!

A small selection of the nearly 200 artists, projects and participants that will be part of CTM Festival's upcoming 2025 edition - ten days of multi-perspective experiences, critical reflection, collaborative learning & hedonism.

This will be my 14th edition as a co-curator and my 19th edition as a guest, meaning I spent the majority of my adult life in the CTM continuum, from skipping past security as a broke student to attend the first time, to working the merch stand, to being part of the team. It means a lot to me.

Please buy a ticket - festival passes are just 190€ and individual nights cost often less than a single concert on any given day in the same venue. Tickets make great Christmas gifts I hear.

A fantastic album of contemporary Chinese electronic music by Wang Yi aka 王懿EAU called "异响” (Sonic Anomaly) that came out very recently.

Here's the Tidal link, but you should be able to find the album via the artist name on other streaming services as well!

Really inspired by whats happening across China in terms of electronic music and media art currently!
