Benjamin Fröhlich feat. Vilja Larjosto – Roundabout (Romain FX ‘Clouds’ Remix)

Something about this dance track reminds me of New Order and early 90’s dance music, it’s just really cool, happy and funky. I hope you enjoy it.


What ancient people looked like and sounded like…

I am utterly fascinated by hearing old and extinct languages, coupled with this AI generated people speaking it in our modern world…it is a bit of eerie and strange sorcery!


A Koala’s guide to photography for beginners

I don’t know about you, but I always forget about what the technical settings of cameras mean and I get confused over and over again. If I took more photos with a proper camera, perhaps this would embed itself into my brain, but mostly I just use my phone camera – which is good but never as good as a good camera. If you find the technical settings of cameras difficult to remember, then here’s a guide so that you have the right koalifications. Via Cool Guides on Reddit

A square headed Renaissance lion

I cannot verify the veracity of this painting. Indeed it seems unlikely that lions went from having square heads to having more oblong, regular shaped heads (as they do now) in a matter of centuries. That seems like ultra fast evolution. The opium must have been really good in those days. Via Ruby on Twitter

A Giant Tegu and White Tegu

Some believe that dinosaurs died out and that dragon’s don’t exist, but these massive lumbering beasts will make you think again. I would love to see them in the wild!


When Aphex Twin casually drops a new epic track and it casually gets 100,000’s of YT plays

This is an incredible song in every way: deep, melodic, chaotic, full of emotional layers and nuance, complex yet serene. I am still coming to terms with this. No I am not a fan girl of Aphex Twin at all or anything LOL.


Iceland to ban whaling in 2024

It’s very unlikely that whaling licenses will be renewed in Iceland when they expire at the end of 2023, its Minister of Fisheries and Agriculture, Svandís Svavarsdóttir, has announced. This will effectively end commercial whaling in Iceland once again after it was resumed back in 2006. Via The Happy Broadcast

This channel features calming and reassuring visuals and cooking sounds, guaranteed to give you a rumbling tummy.


The Ideal Body: Use Your Body to Shape a Great Character

Striving for the ideal of bodily health can transform our life. It offers a path out of the misery of being obsessed with looks and places us on a path where a true and enduring comfort of being in our own skin becomes possible.

FYI: Shoebills sound like a scary machine gun

They are gorgeous if a little intimidating as well


Transcendence by Oiseau de Nuit

I love the mystical, witchy, mysterious vibe to this whole album and the dark cover art, it’s the kind of design that needs to be on a poster for sure! From the artist’s Beatport:

Since taking his first steps in music making in 2015, the Canadian artist Oiseau de Nuit has gone on to refine his mesmerising melodic touch under the tutelage of Saisons Founder Kora. He now operates a key member of the imprint. Renowned as the night dweller in the Saisons studio, his emotive, atmospheric soundscapes and tight grooves are fast garnering attention from music lovers across the world.
