And for our Daily Musicposting we have something really simple and light for today: it's a 30 minute-long remix of evangelion songs from REAL SHIT BASTARDS (4nzu + supire).
It was played in its entirety during yesterday's 10 hour live mix by round wave crusher. I listened to the whole thing by the way, it ended at 5 AM and it literally melted my face off. 10/10 saturday. REALLY good, really enjoyed it, so here.

Demons To Some, Angels To Others -Hardcore Mix 11-2007-
The Speed Freak
I didn't want to put too much effort into today's daily music post so you're getting delivered right to your face this hour long megamix that The Speed Freak did for Sharpnelsound years and years ago that i really fucking love and that took me ages to find in a lossless format.
You can have this, today, for free!

...if you already didn't have it considering everyone in here is just one of my sperg friends and the formal façade of me writing in english is just me being a nigger for fun

My apologies for the lack of posts but real life has a real knack for getting in the way of you actually living it. It's like, every 5 days now.
You'll get the posts you deserve very soon.

In the meantime, to tide you over, please have some classic kino you should already know about, but if you don't, then even better because this post is for you: it's ken ishii's music video for Extra, from his wildly acclaimed Jelly Tones album.
The video is special in it being directed by one of the animators for Akira (among other works in which he actually directed), which you can immediately tell by the distinctive style and the quality of the animation.

It's one of the greats! I would recommend you check out ken ishii's entire discography as well, his music is some of the most unique techno to come out of japan in the early 2000s, and a further testament to that is his track for the cult classic Rez, which i couldn't love more even if i tried. But that's a story for another day, and to which i'd dedicate an entire afternoon talking about in person, because of how special it is. I've talked to several generations of people about it at this point and it never disappoints, it's almost anomalous!

Anyways, as usual please enjoy this journey through sound.

As an aside, most of R&S records' catalogue from that era is very good and i would recommend you check it out.
As for a good beginner album for his works, Jelly Tones definitely works. If you liked his Rez tracks, Future in Light is great. Personally i like Sunriser best though, and would recommend that.

I think I'll just upload it here lmao

Pic related is me reminding myself i need to get more vinyls, it's just great music to have.

Today's musicpost (it's still today until i go to bed even if it's 2 AM) will have a bit more effort than last time

Autechre is obviously one of the best, nobody needs an introduction, but this particular track was made in protest to the UK government trying to ban techno so they could get rid of raves and people partying too much, so they made it illegal to blast "very repetitive music" at public venues, trying to define techno as solely as a repetition of sounds, like anyone who doesn't get techno will define it.

Autechre, in protest, just to piss them off, made the track "Flutter". It's unique because it has no two measures that are the same, and therefore contains no repetition, and it was therefore legal to play at raves according to their obtuse and moronic legislation.
Even without the added context, it's just a great song. It's autechre, what did you expect?

For our saturday night musicposting we're gonna be looking at some REMO-CON,


yeah, famous because of his Bemani work, everyone knows that, but what about his work at Anjunabeats? his work with Yoji biomehanika, now just yoji?

No? no 10 years of hellhouse because you don't know what hellhouse recordings is?
Oh well. That's a story for tomorrow then! In the meantime, please enjoy

I consider this a song with an italian sample, so i get to gush over it more than usual. If it isn't, i don't care, because the song is dope
