I've just put 20 copies of Graham Dunning and my 'Extended Turntablism vol.1' cassette in the shop from the recent restock. Duplokit's 'Warpdrive' is there and I see only 3 copies of The In-Sect's 'All Colour, High Fidelity, Radio Cartoon' collage comic left. infiniteillectrik.bandcamp.com/merch
This evening... ambient and downtempo all the way at SpaceTalk in Farringdon alongside Nik Weston
Don't know who did this but the original cover will always hold a special place in my heart as it was first issue of the Galaxy's Greatest. Whilst it doesn't cost £9 these days (£3.99 - Earth Money) it's still as good as ever.

Music Recommends for May - it's also Bandcamp Friday today so 100% of the revenue goes to artists and labels if you buy from the platform today. Just one purchase can make more for some artists that a year of Spotify streams. www.buymusic.club/user/djfood

Two gigs on the south coast next week supporting @theorblive.bsky.social in Hastings and Folkestone - very much looking forward to this.

Need an escape from reality? You could do worse than diving into the new @mikemignola.bsky.social book, Bowling With Corpses’ - having to ration myself with it as something this special only comes along once in a blue moon.
The amazing artist Augustine Kofie and his family have lost everything in the LA fires, thankfully they are safe and there is a fundraiser for them to help rebuild their lives. If you can afford to donate something or share this post then it would be appreciated. gofund.me/041389b3
