Happy New Year, :D After crappy 2018 one would think it can only get better!

My usual sermon follows.... I don't think the internet as a whole sucks, but definitley (anti)social media on smartphones was the real bringer of doom. I am old enough to remember having to sit down at your PC/Laptop to do a cult-ish "log on", which ment people spent their online time better...

OK, the next one is actually from late '95 But defenitely worth mentioning, methinks: an early Boymerang tune, very heavy track!

I am aware of the possibility of revoking, but that's the least plausible scenario.

As far as I have understood, there will be a Brexit in March 2019 in any event, right? If they topple May, then it'S gonna be a hard Brexit. If they fail, it's gonna be the deal that's on the table. May is a "dead woman walking" in any event. However, didn't Major survive votes of confidence...

time to revive this thread a little with this absolute classic :)

Trump is a political Cult Me not being American and all I am just an observer from afar, however he is paradigmatic for a lot of Eruopean politics these days as well (Salvini in Italy, Freedom Party in Austria, AfD in Germany, the UKIP etc). To me that whole Trump phenomenon appears to be more...

There is already a thread on this, dunno if you noticed.... http://www.dissensus.com/showthread.php?t=14122

I have cataloged my plates on discogs, and it's a funny experience looking at the "What's your collection worth" function there. Meaning, my collection is - theoretically - worth quite something, but I will never get that amount (even if you take the average worth which is possibly the best...

That was the norm for Techno and House from the mid90s onwards As a teen up to my mid20s I was avidly buying music mags as well as 12-Inches, although due to several restrictions (money, time, taste) which started in the mid90s, and I was predominantly buying Jungle and DnB. In Vienna...

Excellent call

Smartphones, Social Media and Auto-Tune are the three Apocalyptic Riders. Who/What's the fourth though?

There is more than a grain of truth to this, and the phenomenon is even much wider - it's eating into so many aspects of life. Social media & the smartphone craze have frozen cultural life in a big way - pretty much the whole 2010s.

fear is THE key factor for motivating middle (and upper) class to vote for right wingers or full fledged fascists. It's usually stressing the threat of losing either money and/or status and/or identity (whatever fabricated that identity is). It's fascinating how the right wingers even play the...

Bolsonaro is of course a textbook case of a fascist win - the lower middle class and the establishmet voting for him and supporting him - as it usually is with the fascist supporters. It's almost as if Brazil just came back to what it always was - a brutalized class/and race state. Democratic...

Liberals/Social democrats in the past came into power bc of the failures of conservatives or reaching a bit further back by the catastophy that was WW2, also, there was still the threat of the eastern block/USSR that left the right wing/conservative parties no other choice than to let the social...

wow, another beauty :love:

Another beauty, released on Back 2 Basics - which I consider to be a very underrated label. Lots of very good releases from them from 94-96

The A side of this release is quite known - "Ganja Man", but I consider the B side great as well - embodies '94 Jungle very well. Very well executed breakbeat manipulation coupled with solid Reggae - "backbone"
