"If you ever think about me, and if you ain’t gonna do no revolutionary act, forget about me. I don’t want myself on your mind, if you’re not gonna work for the people."

On this day in 1969, Fred Hampton was shot to death by Chicago, Cook County and federal police as he slept in his apartment.

With how burnt out I have been this year, I have been leaning on the passive income from streaming more than usual, and thus stuck with the popular service. Qobuz is currently the best streaming service for artist support and cheaper than Spotify + has a free trial tho www.qobuz.com/us-en/discover
Qobuz - Unlimited high quality streaming (United States)
More than 100 million tracks available for unlimited streaming in high sound quality. Qobuz is also the worldwide leader in 24-Bit Hi-Res downloads.

I appreciate that people are listening to me at all and I don't want to be ungrateful, but these remain my thoughts on Spotify in particular and I want to leave the platform behind as soon as it's personally viable. My music's the same on all services and actually sounds less good on Spotify.

currently working on a track thats heavily inspired by a type of early 2000's techno that is heavily dependent on swing and percussive elements like bongos and congas.
i think the bass here really carries it
