not normally one for nostalgia, but this will take me back. Sat in the far frozen north I never got down to London to TF,but we kind of did our own micro version of this regularly in student digs & basements after hours.
Nice one @djfood.org et al - you were all a huge inspiration 🙏🏻

I had a hugely enjoyable chat with my friend Neil Keating aka Controlled Weirdness about my formative years in music.
Early musical influences, record buying, London clubbing, graffiti and a fair bit about the Telepathic Fish parties is touched on over the 2hrs.

I agree with these sentiments 100%
So I finally finished reading Precious Metal and am absolutely astounded that more folks haven't been talking about it.. it's easily one of the best comics put out in the last few years. Stunningly gorgeous, strange, brutal, thoughtful. Delicately builds on things we got from Little Bird. 11/10
Our Trade of the Week is Precious Metal TP from @imagecomics.com by Darcy Van Poelgeest, Ian Bertram, Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou and @matthollingsworth.com - This is a visual feast and if you like your sci-fi fantasy with a strong dose of psychedelics then this is the book for you ^KB wp.me/p8WCuG-3GO

I should really post about this seeing as it's only a week away. I'm having a small exhibition down in Folkestone from June 3rd @ Cabron Groove Bar.
It will be selections from over 30 years of design work and I've been framing stuff for the last few weeks in anticipation.

I really enjoyed this @djhistory.bsky.social podcast with Sean Johnston, knew nothing of his long history in music.
What he said --->
Recommend the DJ History podcast… latest episode is a great chat between @djhistory.bsky.social and Sean Johnston of A Love From Outer Space. Having lived in Hull for 5 years in the 90s, the start of the chat about local clubs like The Welly and The Adelphi was like catnip.
