because every forum needs a music thread I'm enjoying 'Ghana Special 2: Electronic Highlife & Afro Sounds In The Diaspora, 1980-93' a compilation album of upbeat synthy tunes made by Ghanaians living in Germany. https://soundwayrecords.bandcamp.com/album/ghana-special-2-electronic-highlife-afro-sounds-in-the-diaspora-1980-93 https://open.spotify.com/album/1LSTqJhdSVLvkxWpzwkYPv

Listening to this on vinyl for the first time in a year after hearing a 30 minute rant from a girl I have a history with and still have a thing for confess that she's been in an emotional relationship with her married boss for a year while she waits for him to get a divorce. It's hitting pretty good.
Bumping this before it disappears into the abyss... XX things I have been into in the last few months: 1. New Irish Folk à la Lankum https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qhqpQiXnFx0 Lankum - Go Dig My Grave Moody, droney, explosive. Not all all like jolly, old-timey irish folk music https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s14qzghTdPU John Francis Flynn - Bring Me Home, pt. ii: I Would Not Live Always Repepitive lyrics, incredible instrumentals 2. Russian Electro Punk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YXjx-Kaj5RM STVOL.TV — LOCKED CLUB LIVE SET This set has unmatched energy and might be the best party music I have heard in years https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CgxJ2Y7xpms RLGN & DUMMFÖUND - Mahaut 3. Warp-related/influenced artists https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sn1upHX9gbQ Rival Consoles - The Giant Swing Glitchy, ambienty goodness from London. I encourage everyone to check out Rival Consoles' output https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkXxQL-nyQw Midnight Star - The Midas Touch (Hell Interface remix). First released in 1999 as a limited release of 500 units. There will probably a day in the future where I am drunk enough to pay 200 bucks for the vinyl on Discogs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0d8bJeCODc Christ. - Blue Shift Emmissions The guy was a part of Boards of Canada once and it shows. But he has his own, moodier and less warped style
