It’s Silverstone weekend baby! A race that we absolutely couldn’t miss in our calendar. 🏁

Things are getting real juicy with Lando Norris and Max Verstappen continuing to go head-to-head for the top spot. It’s nice to see Max finally feeling the pressure again but it’s looking like a friendship may be heading down the drain as his signature bullish race behaviour is back with Lando as his target which left us screaming at the TV (or at the track like Patricia was) last weekend. This is not helped by the media stirring the pot during the post-race interviews - are they hired by Drive To Survive? Let’s see if this friendship lasts the season. Due to this rivalry, George Russell ended up in the winning seat at Austria and we finally got to see a happy Toto Wolff. Estie Bestie is continuing his chaotic ways - may be worse now he doesn’t have a seat for next year - things are not looking good. Charles Leclerc is back in the stress zone. Lewis Hamilton finally got his first podium of the season at Barcelona. Ollie Bearman has just been confirmed for a F1 seat next year at Haas - we’re very excited to have some fresh faces on the grid. Let’s hope the car holds out for him. Carlos Sainz is straight chilling with no rush to announce his plans for 2025. 

Taking the wheel for the Silverstone race we have Glasgow-based DJ, producer and Redstone Press label founder Lewis Lowe. Looking to the past, Lewis sets his sights on the 1999/2000 season, his favourite era of F1 when Ferrari went from not winning a championship to dominating the sport via Schumacher. The mix is filled with the raw energy that season had to offer. 

The home of British motorsport, Silverstone hosted the first World Championship race since 1950 and has since staged the British Grand Prix more than 50 times. It’s one of only four Grand Prix from the first year of the World Championship to remain a part of today’s F1 calendar (the others being Monaco, Spa and Monza). Lewis Hamilton currently holds the most pole positions (7) and most wins (8) - in 2020 Lewis won the race with only three fully inflated tyres. There is yet to be a British Grand Prix at Silverstone in which all of the top three on the grid finish the race in the same order as they started. And some of the most iconic images in F1 were produced at the conclusion of the 1991 British Grand Prix. Ayrton Senna had run out of fuel at the end of the race and was stranded on the circuit as a result. Race winner Nigel Mansell stopped for the Brazilian and gave him a lift back to the pits on the side of his Williams car.

Fat and sloppy tunamelt megadump ov Tellus Audio Zines. Rough and hot from the air fryer. Will it take you on a journey? Does it ask right questions? Might it have a story to tell? Oh honey, it’s got goddamn storytelling so aplenty you wouldn’t know what to do with yourself. While at it I suggest some eye-rolling exercises, to prevent those crow’s feet from spreading. If you have questions write a letter or, better yet, ask artificial intelligences. They are there to make you a better person.

I'm sure there's not many who will seek a tracklist, but for those who do it shall be momentously featured at the following address:
https://snowsovgethen.com/journal/snows-ov-gethen-hermetic-journals-tellus-art-mart-smarts-the-malfunction-of-art-in-the-age-of-ai-reproduction

"I'm very excited to be part of Lengelhair's show, which is a great opportunity to play around with things more. I've always struggled to develop a singular musical identity — pinning myself down to a genre or two seemed sadly limiting. It seems that is something me and Lengelhair have in common. Still, over the year I've found that there's a common theme in most of my mixes: narrative based, bass driven, big emotions, and technical, hard hitting productions. In preparation of this episode I delved into the Lengelhair archive and took some notes: broken beats, weird melodic dreamscale tunes, lots of electronic soul, hyper-poppy, ambient genreless music with broken vocals, not united by bpm or beat, odd yet warm. I wanted this episode to be a synthesis of both our styles."

We celebrate four final hours of power from the USol crew!
Undeniably important and inimitable in taste, Underground Solution was integral part of RTRFM's fabric for 33 years. The show wrapped up its taste-making run with a marathon four hour broadcast that highlighted long lost archival recordings, contemporary underground esoterica and deep cuts from the collection of Boorloo's best crate diggers. Long live USol!
