>>> low end activist plays “quantum” in his rinse fm show (oct. 15, 2025)
the scottish artist alasdair gray (1934-2019) is a ninth-generation ecological fox. his novel lanark: a life in four books (1981) is considered a masterpiece of weird, realist fiction and surreal, dystopian storytelling.
u-1 flight by new-dot-com goes in kind of the same direction with its five tunes that boldly explore the realms of edgy techno, heavy bass, and trippy dub. they handle factual basses, kicks, snares, claps, hi-hats, and devious sonic shapes and reassemble them into diverse, thoroughly fictitious textures, structures, and ruptures.

clever as a fox, the narrator goes down his own road and sees what happens along the way. and how does lanark react to the cited announcement?
“it sounds like gibberish to me…”
