SubVersion Stop 279: For The Electronica Subverts 001, May 2025

For The Electronica Subverts Series 001 May 2025

Adapted from the recommendations area of the TDD DE Foci Left and TDD 11 free agency projects, a small change to the project header - Electronica that members of Subvert Central like or might like - and Electronica that Subverts the internet mainstream.

Coincides with me renewing my membership to The Wire Magazine: www.thewire.co.uk 

Three small recommendation columns in one capsule article, hopefully once a week on SubVersion. Check it out... 

DJ Ron
Better Times EP
Midnight EP 
Spotify Stream 
Released 2022, 2023

It might not be 'Crackman on the line freaking out', but it is something I would also want to listen to. Basslines that, however crystalline coated, sound like dayglow graffiti scrawled across a Krome And Time styled sound. 

 Caldon Glover 
 Eternal Night Radio 
 Cryo Chamber label 
 Bandcamp CD Digipak DL
 Preorder
 Releases 3rd June 2025

The press release identifies an accurate pressure to this type of sound, with a wrangle that makes a dungeon synth impossible to lift, but as a hallucination conclusion, synthesises so transparently that it could lift itself off the wall and climb up the stairs.

SV Stop 278: The End of Subvert Central

SubVersion: “Cataloguing notable progress of www.subvertcentral.com, with interviews, mixtapes and topical reports.”

So I'm sorry to report that the Subvert Central forum went down at 00:00 today. There was virtually nobody there anymore, so it wasn't worth renewing the hosting fees.

Ah well. Even if its prime time was long gone, 22½ years (from October 2002) is a pretty good run.

Love and respect to anyone and everyone involved in the community whenever.

In case I don't see you, good afternoon, good evening and good night.
