GeneralNuisance

“This shelf is a high-gloss electronic temple built on a massive 2020s foundation that absolutely refuses to quit. With 230 records across 124 artists and 156 labels, the heavy end lives right in the modern pop and electronic trenches, anchored by nine Charli XCX records and five Magdalena Bay releases sitting shoulder to shoulder. You've got an absolute powerhouse team of behind-the-scenes engineering legends running the board across your favorite records, even if you never see their faces on the spine. It's a hyper-modern, synth-soaked machine of a collection that moves fast and hits bright, with just enough heavy guitar grit from the five System Of A Down records to keep the foundation from floating away into the stratosphere. There's zero fat on this shelf when it comes to the core players — the Charli run is completely accounted for, and the 2020s dominance at 78 records proves you're buying what's happening right this second instead of just staring backward at the past. But sitting right next to those heavy hitters are ghosts like Jamie Paige waiting with zero lifetime spins, which is an absolute fucking waste of good vinyl. Dig down into the obscure corners you've been ignoring, let the heavy hitters spin, and stop letting the rare stuff sit in the dark.”
