At 7 minutes in this mix a song called THE CUBE started playing and I suddenly felt like I was playing DDR. Then I looked up the song and yep, it's one of the songs I played in DDR when I was like 12 years old XD

I keep making attempts to find the "33⅓+8" effect that turned EBM into NewBeat in the late-80s Belgium scene. I know the "33⅓" is to slow it down to 100/135 speed (0.740740...) but I still haven't found what the "+8" means. Gotta be pitchshifting, but what are the units? tones? semitones? some other ratio? (people will hear the original track and ask why it was sped up)

After much experimenting, it's just a flat x0.8 speed no pitchshifting and that does the trick.

I've been listening to Playstation-era D'n'B lately.

2018: it was eventually closed due to bankruptcy

I get mad when I think about it; it's textbook case of vulture capitalism.

The company was bought out by VCs that took out a massive loan just so they could make the purchase, then sold off what they purchased to pay off that loan, mortally wounding the company they acquired... and pay themselves commissions for a job well done, naturally. It was theft with extra steps, and the wreckage was "someone else's problem."

Also, does PC stand for personal computer? I never questioned what PC meant. Huh

"Cyber Space seems more like the twilight zone." Lmfao. 🤣 Wonder what those folks would say now. Lol. (I had to lookup what TF, "The Twilight Zone," was bc I thought this was just a hip word for the time & didn't know the meaning. Anyway... neat show! Lol)
