Huge thanks to @RogueChieftan @faraichipato and @_ogoegbunam_ and the @uofgjmsphd community for a really fantastic conversation on the future of Black Ecologies and Geographies.
Deeply honored by the Infraestructural Humanities Group at the University of Glasgow for organizing events on Black Geographies for me to attend while I’m in Europe. It was a dream to engage with Victoria Okoye and Farai Chipato. Thank you for the invitation and care @IvryHenry!

Burial follows-up this year's ambient record with an even more threadbare EP of flickering soundscapes.

Made it onto the fabled @DJmag website with my review of Mind Against's (surprisingly?) tasteful fabric mix.

The Seoul duo's third LP is their most expansive to date, adding a depth of emotion (and shades of techno) to their curious rhythms and whimsical melodies.
