Egyptrixx - Chrysalis Records (feat. Trust) [Bible Eyes | Night Slugs, 2011]
In 2011 Night Slugs was one of the hottest labels around for me. It was also the year I spent one semester in Paris although I didn't study much. Unfortunately, I didn't get to go clubbing much either, because there weren't many locations to go to. I wonder if this has changed by now.
Shigeto - Detroit Part 1 [No Better Time Than Now | Ghostly International, 2013]
Is Detroit the capital of bubbles? Or how come Drexciya made 'Bubble Metropolis‘ and Shigeto’s 'Detroit Part 1' sounds different but still so bubbly?
Seba - Day By Night [Return To Forever | Combination Records, 2008]
I always thought this LP was released on Seba’s Secret Operations label only to find out today that it was basically released by Carhartt – yes, the clothing company! Either way it’s one of my favourite Drum and Bass albums.

For anticipation’s sake I’m not posting a song from the last gig I went to, but rather a song I hope to hear at the next one I’m going to.

Massive Attack – Butterfly Caught [100th Window | Virgin, 2003]
Today’s Prompt: A song you've seen performed live, or would really like to see performed live?
Back in 2006, I went to a festival where Massive Attack were the headline act. But my 17-year-old self wasn't able to appreciate them at the time. I really regret not seeing them perform live, and I hope I will one day.

Others listening to this artist
Glass Eyes - Envision [Cero | Zoology Records, 2013]
I wanna bathe in these synths.
Burial - Archangel [Untrue | Hyperdub, 2007]
Today’s Prompt: A song that reminds you of one of your favorite places.
This track reminds me of my first shared flat which was my first 'own' home. One of my flatmates and I used to play 'Untrue', especially 'Archangel', on repeat. Whenever it came on, we would try to sing along to the chopped-up vocals. So, despite its gloomy mood, I associate very goofy moments with this track.
Kuedo - Ant City [Severant | Planet Mu, 2011]
Today’s Prompt: What song makes you feel like you're in a dream?
For me, this album contains at least two tracks that fit this prompt: 'Seeing the Edges' and 'Ant City‘.
I chose the latter, though, as it sprang to my mind immediately.
Žena od vanilije
Svemirko
Svemirko - Žena od vanilije [Vanilija | više manje zauvijek, 2017]
Yesterday's Prompt: A song in a language that you don't know.
I discovered this song a few years ago through a YoTube video and I've loved it ever since because it puts me in a good mood immediately.
While researching the label that released this song for this post, I found out that its mission is "to educate about the importance of preserving native tongue contemporary music.“ I agree with that and with this in my mind I feel like my choice for this prompt fits even better.
