I'm fatroland on Bluesky, and I'm fat_roland on Threads. The underscore is annoying. Think if it as a little thread connecting my fat and my roland.

@MerriamWebster You're wrong. It stands for 'Winternet-Finternet'.

@suddiraval @moovinfestival Oh nice. Lovely festival. I went the year Orbital played. I remember enjoying Black Grape, Mad Professor and, of course, Jon Dasilva.

Bin Grok. Bin it. Drag it kicking and screaming from this app and chuck it in the chuffing bin.

Thank you to @ElectronicMagUK for featuring Chronicles of the Residuum in the Pulse section — and to @FatRoland for the write-up.

▶️ Lapalux: DPO Melt. Crackling, tumble-down hardware-made IDM that sounds like it has fallen down into the dusty vinyl grooves of itself. From his recent On The Grid EP. https://t.co/Vsubgqajr2

▶️ John Tejada & Plaid: Bittersweet. A perfect marriage of sprightly 4-4 rhythms, Tejada's unbounded optimism, and the dripping electronic timepiece of the gorgeous Plaid. https://t.co/fyLRQXoOBr
