Hi everyone!

This show has been on the air for nearly 10 years, and here it is hitting show #150! Pretty cool. Celebrating with a fat joint and Part 1 of this strange & charming record. Check out what the ol' Wikipedia says:

Just hit your pipe, & go :)

Jon Hopkins' Singularity!

Hi everyone,

Pitchfork said this: "Singularity is a beat-music odyssey pitched between acid house and introspective ambient bliss, constant change and eternal return, sublunary and sublime. It also combines many other opposites into thrillingly unstable wholes. The producer’s distinctive techno is coarse and granular, as if electricity were a solid you could grind in a mill, yet it flows in a graceful stream. It squelches like muck and shines like crystal. It beats like a body, but it moves like a mind."

Lotta words. And I like words. But this music is water, weird time, and being lost happy. Not much else.
