This gig tho…

I’ve been back in Hidden Tracks for a few months now, and played a few shows since then, but last night was the one - like… “the one”

It was the gig with the best band I’ve ever been involved in, on an epic night, and at Enoch's - a venue that has a very special place in the hearts of musicians and music lovers all over NELA.

The evening absolutely checked off all the boxes for having a great gig. Thank you James, Heath, Preston and Tracy for being the best mates. Thank you John for hosting us. Thank you Jennia for your patience and support. And thank you to everybody that shows up for a Hidden Tracks date. You make this so much fun.

Wow. W.O.W.

That’s a short word to describe such a big evening. You guys really helped us end the year with a resounding bang at Enoch’s last night and set the bar pretty high for 2026! We cannot adequately express how much we appreciate everyone who showed up last night. And it is always great to see some of our fellow musicians in the crowd, although by now you should know by now this means you will eventually be dragged on stage for a song or two! (Thanks, Skyler and Ash!)

2025 was a fun year for HT. We played a lot of fun shows, watched Preston’s pedal board gradually take on a life of its own and begin plotting world domination, and gleefully welcomed OG Track Keith Adams back into the fold. And it’s all because of you guys! Thanks again to John and the rest of the stellar Enoch’s crew, our buddies in the Red Flags and Message From Mercury, and especially you! We can’t wait to see you again in 2026!

Cos some people still think that getting lit somehow makes better art.

I love this kind of data.

If anyone is curious about how skipless vinyl records work, I made this chart a bit over decade ago to show how each skipless speed creates its own geometric shape on the record. Dj Swamp told me in an interview that it took him about 8k of experimenting with his own test pressings to figure out that 100 bpm is the magic skipless speed (he called Skip-Proof). He began releasing his skip-proof battle records, Thud Rumble followed and then boom here we are today where numerous labels are releasing skipless vinyl.

The 100 BPM speed that DJ SWAMP discovered over 2 decades ago creates a Triangle as seen in the diagram. So the skipless loop has one quarter note for each side of the triangle creating a beat with 3 counts per bar. Its only at 133 1/3 BPM, which creates a square, that a full 4/4 time loop is created by the 4 even counts.

Here are the (Symmetric) skipless speeds below. There are Asymmetric speeds too that I'll go over in the future like 83bpm used in the past by Cut and Paste as well as Ritchie Rufftone's Practice Yo Cuts series. ::
