Originally posted December 2021In this episode of Broadway Drumming 101, I sit down with Dena Tauriello, the drummer for Little Shop of Horrors at the Westside Theatre. From her first sparkle kit inspired by Karen Carpenter to a career that's taken her from rock arenas to Broadway pits, Dena shares a powerful story about perseverance, adaptability, and passion.Dena spent nearly two decades with the all-female rock band Antigone Rising, logging more than 260 shows a year, signing with Lava/Atlantic Records, and sharing bills with bands like Aerosmith, the Rolling Stones, and The Bangles. Along the way, she learned the grind of life on the road, the frustration of being pigeonholed as “girl music,” and the discipline that comes from playing night after night. Those experiences became the foundation for her eventual move to Broadway.Her first Broadway chair came in Head Over Heels, the Go-Go's jukebox musical that featured an all-female band. From there, Dena's career expanded into multiple productions, including Kristin Chenoweth: For the Girls, The Cher Show (as a sub), Magic Mike the Musical (Broadway Lab), and her current run in Little Shop of Horrors. She also subs on Hamilton, Six, and at the origial run of Beetlejuice.In our conversation, Dena opens up about the realities of the pit:* Why no two shows are ever the same and why you can never “phone it in”* The discipline it takes to stay fully present eight times a week* How playing in Antigone Rising prepared her for the demands of Broadway* What she looks for when hiring subs and why paying it forward matters* The role of Ableton, click tracks, and sound cues in modern Broadway drumming* Her full gear setup: Pearl drums, Zildjian cymbals, Evans heads, Promark sticks, and custom in-ears* Why she always keeps charts in front of her—even after memorizing the showDena also talks about the surreal moment of playing on stage with the Go-Go's, interviewing Gina Schock for Modern Drummer, and what it feels like to see the Head Over Heels Playbill now preserved in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.This is a conversation filled with honesty, humor, and hard-won lessons for any drummer dreaming of breaking into Broadway—or simply learning how to thrive in the unpredictable world of live performance.For more about Dena: https://www.denatauriello.comClayton Craddock founded Broadway Drumming 101, an in-depth online platform offering specialized mentorship and a carefully curated collection of resources tailored for aspiring and professional musicians.Clayton's Broadway and off-Broadway credits include tick, tick…BOOM!, Altar Boyz, Memphis The Musical, Lady Day at Emerson's Bar and Grill, Ain't Too Proud – The Life and Times of The Temptations, Cats: The Jellicle Ball, and The Hippest Trip: The Soul Train Musical. As a skilled sub, he's contributed his talents to Motown, Evita, Cats, Avenue Q, The Color Purple, Rent, SpongeBob SquarePants: The Musical, Hadestown (tour), and many more.

Mark Williams is a veteran that has paid his dues over more than two decades on the scene as a DJ and producer. Since the 80s, when he started his career at UK hot spots like the Ministry of Sound and Final Frontier, he has been laying the groundwork for his future success. His production work has also gained him acclaim the world over and he has released a staggering catalogue of quality tracks on some of the most respected techno labels in the world including: Tortured, Dark House, Pure Plastic, Phont, Primate, and Carl Cox's Ultimate Trax imprint, to name a few. In addition to releasing on other labels, Mark also has his own imprints: Artificial Vinyl, Real Sessions, Macumba and Real Vinyl. Mark has also gained worldwide recognition with his skilful and distinctive DJing style. Mixing tribal, tech house and techno on three decks and CDJs, his rocking performances have helped him to develop a strong fan base and facilitated gigs in places like Spain, Turkey, Slovenia, Japan, Brazil, Colombia, Macedonia, and Sweden. His first major tour was in 1998 when Mark was asked to join Carl Cox on his “World Wide Ultimatum Tour.” In 2000, Mark became a resident at a club night called “Damage” in Dublin and later that year he supported Billy Nasty on his “Torture Chamber World Tour.” 2003 found Mark on his first “Ingoma Tour” with Ben Sims which culminated in a now legendary party at the Loft Club, Barcelona, the weekend of Sonar. In 2004, Mark and Ben set out for another tour to promote Mark's debut album, “A Point in Time” on Ingoma. 2005 was another banner year, with Mark playing at clubs, parties and festivals around the world including a set for more than 40,000 people at the Monegros Festival in Spain. 2005 also saw Mark bringing his sound to radio. The “Concept Show” (www.conceptshow.com) is a monthly broadcast that Mark co-hosts with Macedonian DJ Goran Kan. Some of the past guests have been Mark Broom, Paul Mac, Ben Sims, Cari Lekebusch, Oscar Mulero and DJ Bone. From the studio to the DJ booth, Mark Williams is one of the brightest stars in the world of techno and his list of accomplishments is impressive and ever growing. In 2007, Mark has teamed up with Paul Mac to provide a new way of presenting his music using a combination of three turntables, 2 CDJs and a laptop running Ableton. Sou Tai are intending to fuse their customary sounds to create something new and fresh. The addition of Ableton to the standard setup enables the use of custom edits of classics and to be able to drop all manner of surprises into the mix. Mark has also found time to create a masterpiece of an album that expresses all the sides of his musicality. His love for tribal, Detroit techno and house music shines through in his album “You can't hide what you truly feel” (out later this year) for the label Subject Detroit. So far Mark has soared to new heights, with Sou Tai closing the Awakenings party in Holland to outstanding reactions from the crowds. With Sou Tai riding high the pair have had some superb gigs such as the one at Spanish super club Fabrik, and Mark has now found himself back playing in much loved Japan Tracklist via -Spotify: bit.ly/SRonSpotify -Reddit: www.reddit.com/r/Slam_Radio/ -Facebook: bit.ly/SlamRadioGroup Archive on Mixcloud: www.mixcloud.com/slam/   Subscribe to our podcast on -iTunes: apple.co/2RQ1xdh -Amazon Music: amzn.to/2RPYnX3 -Google Podcasts: bit.ly/SRGooglePodcasts -Deezer: bit.ly/SlamRadioDeezer   Keep up with SLAM: https://fanlink.tv/Slam  Keep up with Soma Records: https://linktr.ee/somarecords    For syndication or radio queries: harry@somarecords.com & conor@glowcast.co.uk Slam Radio is produced at www.glowcast.co.uk

Episode SummaryWill AI replace developers? In this episode, Snyk CTO Danny Allan chats with Michael Grinich, the founder and CEO of WorkOS, about the evolving landscape of software development in the age of AI. Michael shares a fascinating analogy, comparing the shift in software engineering to the historical evolution of music, from every family having a piano to the modern era of digital creation with tools like GarageBand. They explore the concept of "vibe coding," the future of development frameworks, and how lessons from the browser wars—specifically the advent of sandboxing—can inform how we build secure AI-driven applications.Show NotesIn this episode, Danny Allan, CTO at Snyk, is joined by Michael Grinich, Founder and CEO of WorkOS, to explore the profound impact of AI on the world of software development. Michael discusses WorkOS's mission to enhance developer joy by providing robust, enterprise-ready features like authentication, user management, and security, allowing developers to remain in a creative flow state. The conversation kicks off with the provocative question of whether AI will replace developers. Michael offers a compelling analogy, comparing the current shift to the historical evolution of music, from a time when a piano was a household staple to the modern era where tools like GarageBand and Ableton have democratized music creation. He argues that while the role of a software engineer will fundamentally change, it won't disappear; rather, it will enable more people to create software in entirely new ways.The discussion then moves into the practical and security implications of this new paradigm, including the concept of "vibe coding," where applications can be generated on the fly based on a user's description. Michael cautions that you can't "vibe code" your security infrastructure, drawing a parallel to the early, vulnerable days of web browsers before sandboxing became a standard. He predicts that a similar evolution is necessary for the AI world, requiring new frameworks with tightly defined security boundaries to contain potentially buggy, AI-generated code.Looking to the future, Michael shares his optimism for the emergence of open standards in the AI space, highlighting the collaborative development around the Model Context Protocol (MCP) by companies like Anthropic, OpenAI, Cloudflare, and Microsoft. He believes this trend toward openness, much like the open standards of the web (HTML, HTTP), will prevent a winner-take-all scenario and foster a more innovative and accessible ecosystem. The episode wraps up with a look at the incredible energy in the developer community and how the challenge of the next decade will be distributing this powerful new technology to every industry in a safe, secure, and trustworthy manner.LinksWorkOS - Your app, enterprise readyWorkOS on YouTubeMITMCP Night 2025Snyk - The Developer Security Company Follow UsOur WebsiteOur LinkedIn

Will Rees – Ableton Live 12 Trance Template (138 BPM | Uplifting / High Energy) Buy here - https://payhip.com/b/SkP1Q This is a full uplifting trance template I've built in Ableton Live 12 Suite, using only stock plugins — no third-party VSTs. The track sits at 138 BPM and captures that high-energy, peak-time sound I'm known for — driving basslines, euphoric leads, tight percussion, and spacious atmospheres. It's fully arranged and mixed, with a complete mastering chain included so you can hear it at full power straight out of the box. I've made heavy use of Ableton's built-in synths like: Wavetable – for the main lead, pads, and textures Operator – for bass and supporting synth layers Analog, Sampler, and Drum Rack – all dialled in to give you that polished trance sound Mastering Chain (All Stock Plugins): EQ Eight – for shaping and cleaning the mix Glue Compressor – for tight dynamics Saturator – to add a bit of edge and colour Limiter – for loudness control Perfect for: Learning how to structure and arrange a full trance track Understanding how to mix and master using only stock tools Sparking new ideas or building your own track from a pro-level foundation While weekly releases of third-party plugins can be very useful, over my years of teaching, I've found that as we chase the next best thing, truly understanding how stock plugins work—and using them to their full potential—can be just as effective. This solid foundation becomes especially valuable when you later work with third-party plugins. Everything is labelled clearly, and I've kept the session clean so you can follow along easily. Whether you're just starting out or want to dive into how I work inside Ableton, this should give you loads of insight. Also, you'll also find the fully mastered WAV in the folder—feel free to include it in your sets! This project is intended for educational purposes only. Commercial release or distribution of this track is strictly prohibited. Unauthorized will result in legal action.

When we last heard from Rachika Nayar, she was creating warped textures from her guitar and the software program called Ableton. Our introduction to Nina Keith came from her 2019 album Maranasati 19111, an eerie album of electroacoustic chamber music. After fan-girling each other's music online, the two composer/musicians have now joined forces for a new project called Disiniblud. Their fantastical wordless conversations graze freely from post-rock, glitchy indie electronica, neo-classical, and pop – “all resulting in a work that suggests sweeping transformation can come from embracing old wounds with childlike wonder”, (album liner notes on Bandcamp.) Disiniblud plays new music from their 2025 self-titled debut album, in-studio.

Jxmie Blake is a genre-blending artist, producer, and educator whose work fuses jazz, soul, hip hop, pop, and electronic music into a bold and expressive signature sound. Known for his innovative approach to Ableton Push as a chromatic instrument, Jxmie is a multi-talented creator with a deep background in audio engineering, songwriting, and sound design. With degrees from Berklee College of Music and a client list including Ableton, Red Bull, and Ludacris, he's quickly becoming a leading voice in modern music education and performance. In this conversation, Jxmie and I dive into the creative mindset—how breaking the rules, following sparks of inspiration, and simplifying your workflow can lead to unexpected breakthroughs. We explore the power of limitations, the importance of finishing ideas (even imperfect ones), and how developing a strong relationship with your tools—like Push—can unlock musical freedom. It's an honest look at the balance between discipline and play, structure and spontaneity, and why sometimes the best thing you can do is stop overthinking and just make something. Listen on Apple, Spotify, YouTube Takeaways: Push as a Chromatic Instrument – Jxmie breaks down how Push can function like a guitar fretboard, opening up intuitive, expressive playing that bridges the gap between traditional instruments and digital music-making. Creative Freedom Through Limitations – Embracing limited gear or working with only stock tools can actually foster more creativity and deeper exploration. Breaking the Rules Is the Point – Jxmie encourages musicians to intentionally break conventions—whether it's stacking effects, pushing gear beyond intended use, or warping samples into unrecognizable textures. Music as Self-Expression – The ultimate goal isn't perfection, but expressing what's inside you—your mood, your perspective, your story. Reckless Experimentation Leads to Inspiration – Playing without a specific goal, just to see what happens, often leads to surprising and exciting results. Gear Doesn't Make the Artist – Even basic tools like GarageBand or stock Ableton devices can be powerful when fully understood and creatively applied. Teaching as Empowerment – Through his work at 1500 Sound Academy and his online courses, Jxmie focuses on empowering students to unlock their own creative voices, regardless of background or skill level. Creative Blocks Are Often Internal – As we gain technical skills, creative challenges become more mental and emotional—expectations, self-judgment, and overthinking can block our flow. Start with Play, Not Pressure – Some of the best creative moments happen when you approach music playfully, without the weight of needing to make something great. The Process Is the Product – Whether it's creating sounds, building devices, or finishing songs, the act of exploring, tweaking, and iterating is as valuable as the final result.
