  I was lucky enough to play Null Sector at #EMFCamp this year (8pm on Sunday) and I had an absolute blast introducing people to the new wave of UK Breakbeat Hardcore! Unfortunately I'm a clumsy oaf, and accidentally stopped my recording about 3 minutes in... So instead I've recreated the set, based on what I had on the USB and what I think I played! https://www.mixcloud.com/lpbkdotnet/lpbkdotnet-emfcamp-2026-sunday-8pm/ There's a bit of old, a bit of new, but omg these are absolut...

  I’ve made some progress on the Ringer 2A It’s now bolted to a bit of plywood, with its “U-Point” * connectors mounted on 3D printed standoffs I’ve got all the diagrams, and know which of the 64 connections are needed to make it chooch… I’ve just got to get it wired up and sort out a power supply with enough beef (6A of inductive load at 50V) to start it spinning! * I’ve no idea why they’re called “U-Points” - but if I say “back the right odds” a certain age of engineers brain will light up

  (cont) Unfortunately I’m pretty busy with other stuff for the next few weeks, so won’t have a lot of time to get it running. Early indications are that it’s in good condition, but there is work to do before I can apply power… But when I do, there will be sound and (probably) video so you can experience it too!

  More telephone cleanup continuing, the fading is naaaasty on these (and they’re not the slightest bit “rare” or “special”) so I have no moral problem prepping it for paint… But that’s a job for future me!

  It's Longshot Request Friday! EDIT: Now sorted, thanks! Does anyone have in their collection an example of an old British Telecom "telemessage" ? These were greetings telegrams, dictated by phone and sent through the post. I'm specifically looking for a readable image of the reply instructions that were printed on the reverse side of the page. For some reason, no one seems to scan the back page when selling these online! I've attached an example of...
