This past week, 99 years ago, Miles Dewey Davis III was born in Alton, Illinois.
On November 12, 1989, on 60 Minutes, Harry Reasoner asked him if Black musicians were better at jazz and blues because of slavery. The question could’ve gone sideways.
What Davis said—quietly, precisely—was about rhythm, memory, race, and the meaning of swing. #music #Jazz #Histodons #history #blackmastodon #photography #blackandwhite

LOVED this interview with Frankie Knuckles. The Godfather of House.
He talks about so much - growing up with Luther Vandross, getting into teenage scrapes with Larry Levan - before going on to learn to DJ with him at the Paradise Garage. And the Warehouse of course, getting into production, his later life and feeling like his music didn't have any place.
Honestly, just such a lovely man.
RIP Frankie ❤️

"The 1974 Eurovision Song Contest was the nineteenth edition of the competition. It took place on Saturday, April 6, 1974, in Brighton, United Kingdom. It was won by Sweden, with the song "Waterloo," performed by ABBA".
ABBA's harmonies must have had an influence on my desire to become a musician. The vocal harmonies were magnificent.
At fairs, the huge bass speakers pierced you on this song, and many others with powerful bass lines.

My meeting with electronic music was mid of the 70s when Jean Michel Jarre released his first Album "Oxygène" (1976). It was really kind of alien space music at this time. :0)
The beginnings of electronic music!

At Eurovision, Swedish-speaking Finns are representing Sweden
The three members of KAJ, the band selected to represent Sweden in the 2025 edition of the music contest, hail from a Swedish-speaking minority on Finland's West coast.
In a context of hostility toward this second national language and rivalry with their Scandinavian 'big brother,' this is a notable event in Finland.

No longer a song contest underdog, this year the Nordic country has two acts to root for.Mark B. Odom (Yle News)
This you didn't see on telly.
You did see Erika Vikman's expression but not, what caused it.
Just think about it - you'd be 7 meters high, and all in a sudden there'd be an explosion next to you.
And you would be singing a long note on a tv show watched by 200 millions people.
Gosh, what a professional she is!

Help. I am searching for a library allowing to draw chords graphs like those. I'd like it to work similarly to Mermaid or PlantUML, a tool that creates beautiful diagrams from text files. Preferably something that works through command line, accept a text file as input and deliver a PDF or image file.
Boost creates random chords progressions.

Support for the SMC-Mixer and SMK-25 II piano keyboard have been merged into @mixxx and will be available out-of-the-box in version 2.5.1! Thanks to M-Vave for sending me these; I'm glad I could help!

My new single “Brand New Day” is out now!
This is a song about loss, stuck in that uncomfortable moment of coming back home after losing someone that used to be there.
Rooms feel larger than before, and the smell of their belongings almost detaches you from reality.
“…far away, I want to feel your grace, for the moment before I break, I want a brand new day…”

not an ideal start to the year for many. but hopefully a new album from legendary 70s band Cymande will help.
soft and strong, like a warm blanket. with the kind of positivity - and hope - the world may need in the coming years. this was exactly the sound i needed today.

I have listened to over one thousand pieces of classical music in the last three months, and I have prepared a special playlist a little out of the ordinary.

The reviews are in: "I thought classical music was boring, but this playlist gave me an anxiety disorder." "A disturbing glimpse into the dark heart of guys who write ballets about pretty princesses." "Who knew that a toccata could fall down the stairs?"

Earlier I decided that I wanted to use my Arturia KeyLab 88 keyboard to control @mixxx so that I can play along with tracks easier. I wrote up some MIDI bindings with basic functionality and threw them up here on the off chance that anyone else has the same keyboard as me and wants to use them:
