    london finance bro taxonomy

    i'm glad Gary's out there doing what he's doing. i didn't watch the whole thing but he did really well on piers morgan. taking these ideas to a huge US audience, making piers and rubin actually agree with him on it being unfair that billionaires aren't taxed properly. his predictions on the...

    Amapiano

    i really enjoy tracks by rifledeep, vibekulture sa and laz mfanaka for the absolute melodrama and reckless sonics, but compared to sgidongo they're more like something to behold than dance to... unless maybe you've got a crazy tiktok routine i dunno. you'll see what i mean about the bro-step...

    Amapiano

    i feel like a lot of people are doing the more refined "sgidongo" sound now as well. Tots SA has got some smooth bangers but doesn't seem to have released many of them it still gets the hype going, but in a more subtle, slowburning way that comes from all the layered percussion and really...

    this link up with bacardi guy Dj Dadaman with the same really harsh synth sound (i think it's from the DX7 originally) has been everywhere since it was released i'm not as much of a fan of this one but it definitely captures the big return to old school kwaito and bacardi sounds in amapiano

    Dance music/race/revolution (essay)

    this was an interesting read. i feel like it goes alongside this https://technomaterialism.com/negrophilia-in-club-culture and this https://worksofintent.com/onehouse/ pretty solid analyses of how dance music adjusted itself after 2020. which was kinda just to say a quick sorry and then...

    i see these guys on instagram looking like they've just stepped off that Chernobyl series. the mid-track tempo slowdown seems to be a recent sonic meme, don't know who started it.

    the dark side of amapiano that i was posting videos from before is getting darker and weirder at an insane rate this guy D'Athiz has got so many insane tracks out there. a whole album's worth on 'summer banger'. he's put the album into a mix - worth listening to the whole thing. my favourite is...

    Words and phrases to cancel

    this is almost out of date to be cancelled now, i feel like its usage crashed with the crypto bubble bursting, but i really hated "gm" as soon as i saw it. it was the essential utterance of the crypto-evangelist/brainwashed, shorthand for "good morning". what i thought was interesting is that...
