To say I was unsure how to approach this is an understatement. Still: I wrote about Jackmaster — an immense DJ and huge presence in many lives
He personified an era in clubbing, then accelerated us moving past it. We owe the story, and Jack, honesty. RIP

Finally found: this is the actual copy of Nirvana's "Dedicated To Markos III" album that I sampled on my song "Stem/Long Stem." I've remained friendly with founding member of the band Patrick Campbell-Lyons, most recently meeting up with him in Athens in 2022.

Entrepreneur culture & link-and-build culture have been sucking the soul out of music and arts for years. Ppl are convinced that they need to achieve some sort of PLAY. Or build something and sell it. And then they post a pic of, like, Sade or Miles David lol.
Daft Punk apparently recorded and shelved a new album back in 2018, and according to Quinn Smith — a drummer who worked on both it and ‘Random Access Memories’ — it could see a release
In a recent interview, he said “at the moment, it’s supposedly coming out of the locker, I hear. And they’re going to do something with it, I hope.”
Quinn also added that Daft Punk had given him permission to talk about the album

Bandcamp: extremely profitable company, uniquely beloved of musicians and music fans alike, riding a wave of public goodwill, decides to sell themselves to a billionaire who then dumps them off to another billionaire who now fires half the company
Deep rage, sadness & frustration at the Bandcamp layoffs (along with everything else atm)
The editorial team built one of the best & most dependable platforms for independent musicians to be celebrated & discovered. Only to be gutted by corporate greed. Same story ad infinitum
