This is the most consistently good and tasteful techno mix I've heard in a looooong time. Thank you
good track selection, and a very interesting read. cheers!
i like how you approach topology from the perspective of the artist- my introduction was through Deleuze' book on Foucault, where he makes use of conceptual aspects of topology to re-express relations between thought, power, knowledge, and their constitution of our social field.
'every form is a compound of relations between forces'..'recuperated by power-relations and relations of knowledge, the relation to oneself is continually reborn, elsewhere and otherwise.'
its abstract but rewarding,an experimental philosophy attempting to think what was perhaps previously 'unthinkable'..
thanks for the great selection of music, will be testing some of it out tonight at our house party after optimo's bi-annual destruction of the reading rooms in dundee, scotland!
