Believe in Something
So, I was like “Hey Immy, just BRB, gonna make a cup tea.” Then she’s all like: “LOLS! I just put the kettle on for my cup!” I was like “Whoa, that’s weird.” So I moved on, thinking nothing of it. A little later we were like talking about TRUANTS ideas, and it was like […]

Seven Degrees of Elevation
The 1980’s. Stuck in collective memories all over the world as a collage of gated snaredrums, keytars, flashing music videos, lip-syncing and Karate Kid. When talking about this decade many forget all the good it has brought us. How it has influenced so many artists and music we love today in more than one genre. One […]

It’s A Pleasure to Meet You
Spending my Summer in Berlin has left me with a lot of delightful memories and even the bad ones have turned into something enchanting. The underground stations are probably the places that evoke the widest variety of recaptures. Especially Warschauer Strasse, the S-Bahn and U-Bahn station located in the heart of Friedrichshain. Countless of times […]

Flightless Seabirds: Incarcerated
First things first: I’m Jodie and I’m new to the merry band of Truancy scoundrels. If it’s alright with you, I’ll pop up on here from time to time and perhaps introduce you to some new musical nuggets of fried gold from the world of disco/house/synth/electro/whatever, or geek out about other musical titbits every now […]

Passed Myself Down On My Knees
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how special a place the world actually is. It’s funny, cause in our limited lives we often only operate within certain spheres, but we never get granted the experience to visit the whole world. Time’s too short for that; and the little time we are given, we spend […]

Where You Should Be
Mr. Mirau was a man of the world, a kind soul and tolerant of all things. He had a gift, the gift of inspiration, a muse as it were. Legend has it he is over 100 years old, some say even older, like 500+ years old. Rumours have it he had a hand in creating […]

Shadows Dance Back Up
How I love it when I look into my mailbox and find a package the size of a vinyl record. The right side of my brain is oh so excited with the new record while the left side is happy I didn’t get scammed. Exactly what happened to me this morning! I paid € 0,85 for […]

Danger’s Not A Stranger
I don’t know about y’all, but when I’m out traveling by the public transport system, I prefer take my hyperactive music levels down a notch as there’s a limit to the soundproofing quality my headphones can provide outside. I’m usually able to live past it, but as the wise prophet K. West once taught us, […]

And It’s All Up On the Walls
When I first heard the name Paul Kalkbrenner, there was no particular “wow-effect” that struck me. Rather on the contrary in fact. I’ve always found it strange to heard artists, especially in the electronic world, stick to their original name. It didn’t feel right. I found it rather unappealing. I remember that evening where I […]

Keep the Sunshine, Save Me the Rain
And now for something completely different, from me. It’s always a good feeling when you stumble across an artist on the internet who’s music you automatically love, this good feeling suddenly turns to sheer joy when you find out that this said act has released an album and a number of remixes for completely free. […]

Let’s Think About the Future & Forget the Past
Seasons change, flowers wither, species evolve, relationships grow apart and not a lot in life is left stable. But there are a few things in life that remain constant and remind you of your past and who you are, and there’s always a handful of artists that can take you back to a certain era […]

To kick things off, I’d like to quote Milton Babbit, an American composer, who simply, purely said, “I dare suggest that the composer would do himself and his music an immediate and eventual service by total, resolute and […]
