A short history of Paul and his playlists: First I started making mixtapes to play in my car. Then I started making mix cds to share with friends. Later I started sharing playlists with complete strangers on Soundcloud. Now I have a weekly show on Mixcloud for friends, strangers and other music fans. You're invited to listen in to hear alternative rock from XTC to Maneskin and all the decades in between. Listen here:

I should promote this one again. It seems like we're unable to end the cycle of Republicanism.
I kind of like how it turned out.
This is layer upon layer, built and removed. There are many little melodies weaving the tapestry of this one.
My first 100% modular track in a while.

Psst: Wanna know about the secret correlation of sex, witches and ring modulators?
It will all be revealed at…
RADIO IRRTUM! (on air from Berlin)
↓↓↓ Deutsch Version below unten ↓↓↓
Yeah: Da next issue of #RadioIrrtum! will air this Saturday, 2025/06/07, 8:00pm UTC+2/Berlin time. At Alex Berlin FM at 91MHz / DAB+ K7D around #Berlin + worldwide at https://www.alex-berlin.de/radio-livestream .
#Radio Irrtum! is a German language #radioShow exploring the sonic vastness of the #underground. Emitted transmissions may raise attention for new unheard #music all over this planets genre spectrum. Don't worry about that #GermanLanguage - it's about the #music!
Music which this time may lean more than usual on the electronic side, as there will be…
- raw 'n also #glitchy #Pop
- #Demoscene #Garage
- free flowing #Acid
- swedish #Electro
- scratchy, breaky #Bass
- experimental #Electronica
- #industrial in various ways (#breakbeats, noise, #spokenWord)
- hardcore #punk
- even nature #soundscapes
Among others there will be #CreativeCommons music, & of course we'll have a bunch of #FediverseArtists in it as well. So shout outs to @sonicwalker, @h0ffman who was kind enough to let me have a (I think) #exclusive version (!) of one of his latest tracks, and especially to @rktic, like H0ffman an absolute Demoscene legend, who granted me the absolute pleasure of a deep diving interview about a lot of aspects of making music (right) with him.
I will post a link to the almost 40 min running #interview I've enhanced into #multimedial dimensions (no kidding – was more work than anticipated, but also fun) alongside the show within this threat here, when the time is right. It also has English subtitles (only here with editorial remarks).
And then there is that educational section about sex, witches and #ringModulation. Just saying. I mean - it's almost 2 min long, complete with music examples - where can you get secret knowledge about the inner works of the universe in under 2 min? Yes - at Radio Irrtum!
Anyway: If at least a bit interested in kewl new unusual #music, tune in! 📻
Playlist + manuscript + interview link afterwards here (provided I’m home, else it will come up the day after). And if you have questions? I'll gladly answer! Just ask!
CU all on Saturday! :)

imagine one day you are wandering in the woods and you pass through a strange shimmering barrier. on the other side in a clearing you find on the mossy ground a strange looking cassette. the tape itself seems to shimmer with a strange iridescent glow, and on it is written ‘lofi beats to…’ but the last part is smudged and unreadable
next to it you see an old cassette tape player, powered through no visible means. though something tells you this may not be a good idea, you pop the tape in and press play…

Presenting...
ROCK AGAINST HATE VOLUME 7
benefiting
TREVOR PROJECT
https://rockagainsthatetp.bandcamp.com/album/rock-against-hate-volume-7
finished listening System Overlord
Senta que lá vem história...
Descobri esta banda por indicação de Padde, guitarrista do Instinct of Survival, nesta entrevista:
"Chainbreaker Records: INSTINCT OF SURVIVAL (INTERVIEW"
http://chainbreakerrecords.blogspot.com/2017/06/instinct-of-survival-interview.html
Ambas estão dentro de um subgênero conhecido como Stenchcore. Seria a sonoridade do Crust Punk em seus primórdios, basicamente: uma fusão do anarcopunk com metal extremo.
Até hoje, não encontrei as letras deste álbum, mas quando o ouvi pela primeira vez, logo reconheci a citação do livro "1984" (George Orwell) na introdução:
"If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face forever".
Fato curioso é que esta citação também está presente no título de uma música do Bad Religion: "Boot Stamping On A Human Face Forever", do álbum "The Empire Strikes First", de 2004:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dX1f6H78Y_k
Mas voltando ao álbum "System Overlord", do Swordwielder, percebi que a narração continuava com mais uma frase que não sabia se estava ou não no livro: "The moral to be drawn from this dangerous nightmare situation is a simple one: don’t let it happen. It depends on you."
Pois bem, após uma pesquisa, vi que o excerto na música é nada menos do que um pedaço da última entrevista de George Orwell à BBC (aos 1:46):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9k_ptxWsadI&t=106s
Acho bem interessante este exercício de tentar descobrir as referências nas músicas, estejam eles nas letras, excertos de algum documentário, filme, enrevista ou até mesmo nos acordes (algumas bandas brincam com isso, fazendo clara alusão a músicas conhecidas dentro do gênero ou até num escopo maior, Me First And The Gimme Gimmes são campeões nisto, ao fazer covers de outros estilos, mas sempre puxando uns clássicos do punk rock na sonoridade).

i like to think that tonight's aston villa win over PSG was for benjamin zephaniah on what would - & SHOULD - have been his 67th birthday.
he was practically perfect in every way - on palestine, non-human animals, the planet, equality & the monarchy - & i know this because he wouldn't have liked anyone holding him in such high esteem.
happy ben day, everyone.

Two things!
1st: New track #release: "Goin' Mirlo".
- https://mirlo.space/die-nmi/release/various
Why is that?
2nd: Because I moved most of my stuff away from #Soundcloud today. This company is now feeding my work to unspecified AI companies, and no. I am sick of doing free creative commons for company suckers. I do music for humans. Not for AI. So good bye, soundcloud.
What remains there is an #antifa track (can't be wrong to train AIs to be anti fascist), an old noisy track of mine from 1989, and this one. To cut deeply into their flesh or so :)
I can only recommend to do that to other musicians as well, as long as you don't want to have strange AI clones of your music around (but without your spirit) and other people making money out of it.
If you move away, try to stay away from shady dark patterns infested "upload your music" services.
Personally I've decided to move from Soundcloud to #Mirlo Space (hence the title) - here are those guys: @mirlo . I've watched them for almost a year trying to enable something different, something cooperative style for and together with musicians and not for some companies sake. Trust takes time, and I think I can trust the Mirlo gang now ;) .
You still have other options in case you wanna move away from Soundcloud – a complete other model would be i.E. self hosting your #music with something as cool as #faircamp . Just don't stumble into the fangs of the next musicians spirits sucking company, doing this not for your benefit but for their shareholders. That won't go well. Never unfortunately.
