I'd like to run a music module exploring post punk bands like The Slits and weird composers like Helmut Lachenmann and hyperpop like SOPHIE and call it "Cultural Marxism"

Next Thurs at Lettrétage Berlin Berlin I'm talking about my music writing as part of an Irish author panel. It's free & you should come, regardless of where you live. After-party in Säule, Berghain 𓏢⚡𝄞 Thanks Zeitgeist Irland 24 Culture_Ireland for support. zeitgeistirland24.com/event/harping-…

This was fun. Talked Kraftwerk and clubbing at the Lettrétage panel, then danced to Irish DJs at Berghain at the afters. Thanks Zeitgeist Irland 24 for the stage.

My next book is this one. Forty days and forty nights in the making, it publishes in a few months time & there's some cool stuff in it.

Wrote about Chaya Czernowin's POETICA at MaerzMuzik. berlinwaveforms.substack.com/p/poetica-by-c…

Interviewed in The Mirror today about that old chestnut, Berlin club doors and bouncers

Great to catch up with musicologist Dr. Liam Cagney today to discuss #publicity for his forthcoming #book - Berghain Nights - which will be published by Reaktion Books on 1st October 2025 #music #techno #Berlin #Berghain #newbook

This resonates with my experience (excuse the pun). Have written about it in my techno book, and on my blog re club dancing as meditation.

Bodies in bedlam. My techno tome publishes 1 October. Cover art by the wonderful Nicola Napoli. Features my own escapades alongside interviews with the likes of Luke Slater, Ellen Allien, Sunil Sharpe, Eris Drew, Function, and more. Preorder now: reaktionbooks.co.uk/work/berghain-…
