Thanks folks yes I know the Arts Council are seeking to get the 400,000 back Sacha Lord had off them fraudulently, cos it was my work that alerted them to it. You can stop messaging me. When they've got our money back we can celebrate. bbc.com/news/articles/c5yel7…

It's crazy to me how I made one funk song then went full producer rap mode but there's still people in Japan out there teaching the choreo at this school 🔥🫡

This is an incredible find!
Alright. So MvC1's soundtrack release from over 20 years ago came with a link to a password protected secret website. Thankfully, the credentials to access the site, as well as the website itself was archived, and BOY is there some interesting stuff in it. 🧵(1/?)

As the year wraps up, burnout can take its toll. Remember: prioritising yourself isn’t selfish, it’s essential. If you can, take time to recharge, whether it’s a walk, a break, or some time unplugged. Do something for you.

Trying Apple Music but want to keep my DJ library separate. How? Oh, a keyboard shortcut I had to google. Why isn’t that in the taskbar? Can I toggle between libraries in-app? No?

thinking about actively using chord progessions in songwriting and keep coming back to this song. avoiding resolution to the point of switching keys higher to resolve there for one moment, just to come back down and “keep running”… real yearners know, man

Threads like this are why I’m still on this platform 💫
Entonces! This week’s MEGATHREAD is a very simple affair. It talks of a lifelong love affair with THE FUNK. I am as obsessed with it today as I was back when I was a kid listening to my Mum and Dads records. Earth Wind and Fire were my Gods. MEGATHREAD 🧵🧵🧵
