Not sure why he came to mind some weeks (checks calendar) or months back, but I've come back to his 2018 Spring Mix a number of times recently when I have needed a pick-me-up. It's not perfect (I'm half tempted to make an edit to omit a particular song or two), but it's generally made me quite happy as of late.

Then I saw he talked about his discography in a convenient sort of way, and had posted all his past albums to YouTube and made playlists, plus has more on Soundcloud.

And the tutorials and the music videos ... yeah, he's pretty swell.

Super Discount 2 is a great album for running to.

I haven't heard Am I Wrong in quite a while, and... still good. I think I'll be listening to Tempovision tomorrow, it's been over a decade since I've listened to the thing in full.

I was lucky enough to see a Cube performance and it was amazing. So many of his tracks still sound great today; I recently played Super Disco and Scratched in a set and they *rocked*
Overnet still is an absolutely sublime piece of music.
