#fvtvr #nigthclub in #paris, open in january. A minimalistic, industrial style club just under the Cité de la Mode et du Design along the Seine (best view from men's toilets ever 😁). Vodka at 12 €.
Clearly, the club focuses on very high quality artists, with Carl Craig as resident inviting major artists for a month. Let's see ove time but probably the best club in paris in 2024 for #electronicmusic 😆
#RoniSize at #fvtvr #paris. 25 years after album New Forms, the londonian who is one of the father of #drumandbass #db did a flaming 3 hours set from OG D&B to nu school, with TONS of references from #hiphop, #reggae and #jazz.
Certainly one of the most intense and exciting experience in my musical life 💓
#carlcraig at #fvtvr club in #paris. Detroit's master of #housemusic throws a crazy set, from low tempo #triphop, #minimalhouse with hints of #dub to power house. dancefloor into flames.
#dimitrifromparis at #yoyo club in #paris, #trocadero. Fun remixes from #daftpunk and #jamiroquai among others, all of them served in a #house and #disco sauce 🕺🏻

Santa wasn't here, but his elves did deliver very fine #electronicmusic in #paris for #christmas. From light #techno with hints of #house to #hardtek.
#damswindle in #paris. A crazy +6 hours set of eclectic #house #music . All with good old turntables and vinyls. Special mention to their version of “let's have sex on the beach” as the very last track 😂

How bad are the thousands of new stochastically-generated websites?
Last night I wanted to roast some hazelnuts, and I could not remember the temperature I used last time. So I searched on DuckDuckGo. Every website that I could find was machine-generated with different temps listed. One site had three separate methods listed that were essentially differently worded versions of the same thing. With different temperatures.
So I pulled my copy of Rodale’s Basic Natural Foods Cookbook off the shelf and looked it up there.
I think it may be time to download an archive copy of the 2022 Wikipedia before we lose all of our reference material. It was nice having all the world’s knowledge at my fingertips for a couple of decades, but that time seems to be past.
A reminder to #artists that there is now a tool meant to combat AI tools that are stealing creative works for use in services like #Midjourney by adding imperceptible pixels which in turn poison their databases 🤟
