Ethereal Decibel Company

Cajun is a Swiss-English producer and DJ that is now based in France. Born into a family of musicians and artists, from a very young age he started experimenting with instruments and then electronic production, music quickly became the driving passion in his life. Over many years he explored the depths of melody, groove, and rhythm, crossing many styles and emotions, free from the restraints of genres and codes.

It was an entirely selfish endeavour, a primal need for creative expression through the medium of sound, almost exclusively for his ears alone. But in 2021, after more than 10 years of electronic music production he decided to focus his energy into creating a liveset to share with the dancefloor. This new branch of his music fell loosely into the Psytechno category, with a focus on intricate melodies, deep groovy basslines and hypnotic funky percussion and rhythms.

Anybody else prevented from accessing SC servers via VPN?  All of them are blocked for me.  This is the first time it happens to me in six or seven years of almost daily SoundCloud activity.  I use a VPN in SC because when I don't I get horrible delays that show up in many different ways.  The only explanation I have found is that somehow their security/identification system has flagged my IP address and introduced all kinds of speed bumps.  It makes the experience very unpleasant, irritating.  2025/12/16 UPDATE: I have received no reply about this from anyone so I am guessing this hasn't happened to anyone else, which is quite surprising.  It's a good thing I don't have paranoid tendencies.  I now can use my VPN service again, so this lasted about four days.  As usual I have no idea how this came about.

Why was Jonathan Bellot's account

You can't see it because of the angle with which I took the shot, aiming down, but beyond those blocks is the sea.  To the left is the Mediterranean, to the right is the Atlantic Ocean.  No it's not Gibraltar, but a little bit further West. ... Actually I checked recently and it is further North more than West, I thought I was facing South when in fact I probably was facing the Atlantic ocean, which is why I suppose the waves were of a decent size where we were.

I then went ahead and butchered his work with a borrowed helmet.
Sorry Joe. =(

sometime in 2025:
I have not been able to recover access to my other account [https://soundcloud.com/ha-kekong] for a couple of years.  Don't be mad if I have not replied to your message in the past two years, that's because I never got them ; ) ... You can always reach me here though.
...

I'm trying to promote what I think is good music, so if you want to help out a bit I'd rather you [like] or [repost] my *playlists* rather than my field recordings, if you don't mind, unless you are a die hard fan of those things. Thank you ; )

I speak French, so if you send me a private message, and that you are a francophone, please write in French, thank you.  ... I mean, you don't absolutely have to, but I would prefer it. 

All my field recordings (except for when I record a person) are public, freely downloadable by anyone who is able to click on the button.  I encourage anyone interested to use them in any way whatsoever, on purpose or accidentally. No need for permissions or credits or any other kind  of administrative maneuvers.
...

Anarchists give me hope.

I'm a big fan of EFF.  Love ya EFF.  (no connection with the above line)
... and of course Richard Stallman and Linux and all the others.  Bless yous.

Now don't be lazy, go find out what it is this "EFF" that I'm talking about.  I'll give you a hint: it has to do with computers.

You have a nice day now.  Hugs & Kisses.

Drum & Bass - Mood + Soul. 
"A unique combination of calm & tense"

From mixtapes to all aged raves to buying records, since getting behind the decks in 2008, Aaron has shared the stage with some of the biggest names in the genre.

With a clear appreciation for deep, heartfelt, and melodic tunes, the inevitable next step was producing. When the world paused and shows stopped, he put his whole heart into the studio, full-on, and damn is it ever evident. 

Still in the early days of his production journey, he has released with reputable labels such as Shogun, Flexout, and Dispatch to name a few. With plenty of forthcoming releases in 2025 and beyond, Aaron continues to develop his sound and carve out a place for himself in the Drum & Bass scene.

Plus, as the head of 170+ Recordings, he’s helping Vancouver, and Canada stay present on a global scale. If you’re following, check your inbox, there’s probably another new gem from Aaron Payne waiting for you.
