Nice!

I love acid music, such a simple formula with infinite variation. There's something so delicious about the wobble of a 303 bassline.

I just want to mention Tin Man for those who are interested in acid. He writes, mostly, quite palatable (often mournful) tunes at house music tempo, but he has a good range and goes full banger at times. A real wizard with a heart for the genre.

I remember installing ReBirth on my PC many years ago, and so amazed that it can emulate two whole friggin' TB303 analog machines, with a 909 drum kit too, just using the CPU. Which was pegged to 99% during playback. And here we are today, the same thing is running in my browser and taking 2% CPU.

Rebirth was discontinued and released for free download in the Rebirth Museum, if you can find a genuine copy I think it still works on Windows 7 and Mac OS 9.

Hands up if you were at an illegal rave in the 90's. m/

Hands up if you were at an illegal rave in 2021! :)

There is a clear difference between being on an unregistered event and being an utterly socially irresponsible idiot.

Please do not go to any raves during this pandemic.

I will also vouch for and throw my 2¢ in for DI.fm. I've been subscribed since 2014 and while I have my qualms (namely a few stations that haven't seen a playlist change since I signed up, or their somewhat recent attempt to switch to a playlist-based setup instead of internet radio), it's a top-notch service that continues to please.
