Today’s compilation:

Met@music 2001 Techno / Wonky Techno / Minimal Techno / Abstract Techno

Alright, let's cut to the chase: there's some pretty creative attempts here on this early 2000s comp from Frankfurt label Force Inc. Music Works to make some truly off-the-beaten-path techno tunes. A bunch of commendable efforts, but ultimately, almost none of them end up resulting in tracks that actually sound all that great or fully-fledged.

Except for one: S.R.I.'s "Auf Die Nachsten Zwei - Hundert." Now, I'll fully admit I was pretty much all the way out on this one early on. It sounded like the fullest piece of techno on the comp up until that point, and it had awesome hats and good drums, but the speed of its short lead melody clashed a bit with the rhythm and I was not a fan.

But then S.R.I. brought in this fuzzy, zapping, shaving kinda sound, and as it grew and intensified, it literally managed to tickle my right ear. So, in other words, that song is *actually tactile*. It only happens for a couple brief moments, but you *will* feel a sensation in your ear if you listen to it with earbuds. I've only experienced that one other time, I think, with Muslimgauze's "Azzazin," (it’s way more tactile than this one) but I don't even like that song, whereas with this one, I actually do.

Other than that one tune though, I didn't like this album. Some interesting stuff going on in some of these abstract and wonky and sometimes minimal techno tracks, but most of them feel like they're missing something; either peaking too early, too monotonous, too bare, or too weird. The glitches, filtering, abstract noises and sounds and cut-and-paste IDM-type approaches are cool and nifty, but the large majority of these tracks seem to have needed a bit more tweaking before being released into the wild.

Highlights:

S.R.I. - "Auf Die Nachsten Zwei - Hundert"

Don't be afraid, to let them show

Your true colours,

True colours, so beautiful~

Rushed AF, but I only had a day before Valentine's to finish this, and that day was spent going grocery shopping, so...

Yeah, have True Colours Techno!Branch (and Poppy) with all his vanilla blue ice pop glory.

Complicated, indescribable Overrated, undeniable Tell yourself whatever you want to believe But your fate still lies in me I took your everything Took it for myself My enjoyment and no one else You’re mine…

Little bit of art for my DSMP vampire AU, where, among other things, c!BBH is owned by a vampiric c!Technoblade as a living food source (since they're both Netherborn and all). Bad... doesn't have a great time, let's just say.

RUBY - CONCERNS PEOPLE HAVE ABOUT ME...

(IDM, Progressive Electronic, Deconstructed Club)

With the "sonic" trilogy now behind her, Ruby Poile's fourth album of the year is her most expressive and untamed yet. Mixing all the different sounds of her previous projects along with some fun surprise features, CONCERNS PEOPLE HAVE ABOUT ME.... is another electrifying album from one of the most confident and unshakeable artists in modern electronica.

☆☆☆☆

I don't think anyone else right now is even close to putting out music that is as progressive, high-octane and daring as Ruby Poile does with ease. While her current work as a student in Berklee College of Music's Electronic Production and Design program is enough to prove her skills as a producer and composer, there's something even more charismatic and thrilling about watching her mess with synthesizers and crush audio samples into a billion pieces on her Instagram page, this instinctive drive and unwieldiness to her music that allows her to go farther and wilder with her music than most could ever dream of. Just this year, she put together her "sonic" trilogy, three albums all with their own unique sound and atmosphere that never feared taking a turn for the extreme or unusual, dance grooves outfitted with squelching synths and acid techno brought about from the depths of a neon swamp, but with that project now finished, she's got all the freedom in the world to do whatever she'd like. What's arisen is CONCERNS PEOPLE HAVE ABOUT ME..., Poile's fourth project this year and one of her liveliest yet, taking many of the ideas from that trilogy and mashing them together, along with many new ideas along the way. Her music has never been limited by boundaries, and seeing her try something completely disconnected from any previous series or concept here is absolutely breathtaking. All the calling cards of Poile's music are still here - the massive and distorted electronic drum programming, watery synths that slide across the mix like greased rubber careening down a hillside, constant rhythm switched and melodic detours - but what's changed on CONCERNS PEOPLE HAVE ABOUT ME... is where those turns occur and how she deals with them within each track. Where the singular sounds she strived for with each "sonic" release built a sense of chaotic cohesion in the three of them, the connective tissue for all of these songs is how separate and distinct they are from one another. Just in the first three tracks, there's the shattered synths and warped vocals that pull you into Poile's surreal world on TRUESELFTODAY, SYNTHESUCKER with its multiple drum breaks and blaring synth tones that constantly teeter on the edge of complete insanity, and the splatters of synths and strange, cartoonish samples over the grooveless production of VISCOSITY that are surprisingly engrossing for how open and airy the mix is compared to the majority of the songs here - where any one of these ideas might have filled an entire tracklist of Poile's in the past, she condenses them down into a single song and makes them as potent as they can possibly be, the glossy garage house of KICKYOURYEETHIN slowly dissolving into distorted IDM or the harsh electronics scattered across FANTASY hitting harder and faster than ever before. CONCERNS PEOPLE HAVE ABOUT ME... is an inherently weird listen, with all of Poile's eccentricity and playfulness, but her precision and unwavering commitment to taking everything she does to the fullest ensures the album is intoxicating and provoking. She has also included more features in her music, a rare occurrence within her relatively insular albums that add another new dimension to CONCERNS PEOPLE HAVE ABOUT ME...'s sound. There's only two of them, being fellow Berklee students Charlie Lomonaco and Jaymala - but they add new energies and human bombast to Poile's music, Lomonaco's sharp and manic performance over the bassy beat of STIGMATIC and Jaymala's blunt and sensual lyrics on MYCOLLAR! (Look me up and down / Like I'm your queen," she commands) giving a voice to Poile's usual abstraction and zaniness. What benefits CONCERNS PEOPLE HAVE ABOUT ME... most of all is how untethered it feels, all the time Poile spent crafting her sound over the years now completely set free to absolutely whatever it wants, whether it be the mind-shattering textures on SKULLCRACKER or the loop drum groove and stuttering electronics that carve out the sharp turns and sudden dips of HEYGURL! - there's never a moment here where she feels nervous or unsure of where her music is going, even if I don't personally love the ringing bell samples on NEEDLEPOINT or the slow progression of VISCOSITY myself. For anyone interested in electronic music even in the slightest, skipping out on what Poile has been doing for years now and how well it all comes together here would be one of the biggest missed opportunities you'll come across. As solid as anything she's put out in the past, CONCERNS PEOPLE HAVE ABOUT ME... is another killer collection of tracks from Poile, her sound one that grows more distinct with each release and her abilities as a producer growing exponentially with each new release. There's never a time when she feels out of her depth, because her music can be anything she decides she wants it to be - no matter where she goes, she'll find a way to make it work perfectly for her. As she steps into this new time in her discography, CONCERNS PEOPLE HAVE ABOUT ME... is a fantastic step forward from what she achieved with the "sonic" trilogy, expanding upon its ideas in a more compact form that still keeps the energy high and the ideas fresh and exciting. Whatever speaks to you about her music, you can find it here, and that variety and excitement is what will continue to keep her music bold and assured no matter where her artistic spark blooms from. For now, CONCERNS PEOPLE HAVE ABOUT ME... is another killer outing for her that achieves everything it seeks out to do, and there's nothing that can ever seem to get in her way for even a second.

overall rating of Tommyinnit “how to be a billionaire” show: 8.5/10

better than I thought it was gonna be and brought up a good amount of niche stuff for og fans while making it easy for the parents of the audience to understand

my specific crowd was quite rowdy lmao and it’s pretty funny that all 3 of them acknowledged it so that was a fun thing

A tincy bit too many genital, poop and 2020 jokes for my liking, but none of them were really bits so it was fine lolz

(This one is a lil spoily so read on ur own accord) almost a main charter death in it which made me giggle quite a bit (I’m sorry I just can not take u seriously in this setting Tommyinnit)

the story line was a lil wonky but there’s only so much u can do with stuff pertaining his actual life so I can’t complain to much hahaha

many voice features and singing which I didn’t necessarily expect but it was quite fun

surprisingly barely any time spent on DSMP

lots of people in merch of all kinds in the audience (mostly Tommy, techno and Ranboo lolz) and many people complimented my 2021 limited edition red Tubbo hoodie (had to prove I was an OG LMFAO that was a joke it was the only merch I brought to college tehe)

cool merch for sale that I unfortunately could not afford nor get a hold of but I would highly encourage people to get them if u can

overall I think it was worth seeing even tho I only bought the tickets 3 hrs before the show cause I was scared of the price commitment and if I would even enjoy it so if ur on the fence about it as well, u should go it was very fulfilling of my 2020/2021 heart and self :))

also yes there is a happy ending and he took a selfie with the crowd at the finale bow :D
