I've been meaning to listen to this for a little while, but it just goes to show how little I go on SoundCloud now.
Uploaded on 14 August 2024, an All Arthur Russell DJ set from JD Twitch of Optimo would've been on repeat for weeks 10 years ago. Instead, it's taken me till October to get around to listening to it.
Maybe it's the rise of Do You and NTS in my streaming time, maybe it's now the SoundCloud logo is black it kinda gets lost in the apps. (Turns out I can change it back to the old orange - funnily enough it switched around August too). Whatever it is, I just don't go on SoundCloud much anymore.
The mix itself is lush. Don't just take my word for it, the boy came over while I was writing this and said, and I quote "I love this music" and did a little jig. Then he went back to Octonauts. But Octonatus is a firm fave and not a lot competes with that. But Arthur Russell got cut through.
