Ian Miley Obituary

A deeply personal tribute to Ian Miley, aka Blackmass Plastics—an uncompromising underground artist, DJ, and friend. Tracing his life from his teens through rave culture, free parties, Teknivals, and decades of fiercely original music-making, it portrays a restless, curious, and principled figure. Despite severe illness and physical decline, Ian’s creative drive never dimmed, expanding into synthesisers, sculpture, and design. His music—dark, stripped-back, and purposeful—remained rooted in the original rave spirit. He lived and created without compromise: a true underground soldier. Obituary by The Reverend

Distant Sky – New Short Story by Dan Moss

The rocks and soil above his head rumbled and shook. He looked upwards; shafts of light pierced the darkness. There was nowhere below him, what had been his home was now a pile of debris and death. Above him lay the bright lands, the hairy two legs and their infernal contraptions. His huge arms powered him upwards, there was only forwards.
