dude it's not basic channel. It's just not.

If you want a sort of semi-trance approximation of Basic Channel it is:


From the Dutch Fresh Fruit posse, great record, sounds like it could have come out yesterday.

The weirdest thing I think about being around here is this delusion that there's still a thing called "cool"

That there's one general spectrum of posture that's identifiably with it

But the whole culture's blown to smithereens, there are just a thousand worlds and vibes, the Rebel Without Cause, leather-jacket, Rolling Stones archetype is completely obsolete, a curio, quaint

It's just people who build worlds, and people who consume worlds, that's it

That's what Dissensus is though. One of those built worlds.

there is such a thing as cool. Granted not in the hyperpop world that Gus inhabits, but that's psyop-pop. Made by kids of business execs for the CIA to overthrow regimes which conflict with its interests. Even the backstory behind Sophie's lemonade is extremely banal, and basically completely destroys the mythology of her being some critic of rampant consumerism (falsely, again, imputed to her by Gus' pitchfork idols.) In London noone reads Pitchfork. We have rendered it obsolete. Berkshire, Kent, Sussex yes, but not London.

When we got to Eastbourne I was quickly introduced to both her dad and his large collection of industrial kitchen units. Sophie later explained to me that he had essentially transformed the UK’s orange juice business after a work trip in California revealed quite how awful ‘natural’ fruit juice was back home. His big innovation was to offset the inconsistent flavour of different harvests by making sure his brand of juice always contained an equal proportion of oranges from three different sources. The result was probably the first truly fresh orange juice made in the UK, and was sold directly to supermarkets across the country.

even the
most rampantly bourgeois aspirational culture will resonate more with the youth than alt-pop CIA culture. this is the key lesson that London can teach to Gus.

you also have to nuderstand, this is fundamental, that even the most happy go lucky londoners actually spend most of the year sunk under in some degree of depression or other. theres no such thing as a londoner that isnt depressed as more or less a base level state

all our conversation and humour is predicated on the understanding that we are depressed and we cant ever escape for longer than it takes for the drugs to wear off. this is why we are good hearted and kind people that understand and sympathsise with suffering
