Sunwarper dropped his EP Golden Hour last week so we're talking all about the release and how he built it on his favourite machine the SP 404. We'll be discussing top tips with this lil' engine that could. Also this week, we're taking a look at Videosync2, a new set of devices that can be used within Ableton to warp and manipulate visuals with the potential of bringing added depth to our live sets.

Fun lil' Poly synth coming straight outta Moog and we're offering our thoughts. Is Apple allowing for the breathing of new life into the notion of radio and offering an alternative to streaming?

Also in the news we have a few new releases that we're looking at. Donner have released their D1 drum machine and Audacity has had a face lift.

Warner Music appears to be making moves to gobble up CD Baby or Distrokid... perhaps both? What does this mean for our independent distribution? We look over the details and discuss implications. Over on our label last week, we released 'Music For Reimagined Landscapes', a remix album of tracks originally released by our very own Sunwarper. We're celebrating his release and discussing approached to remixes and why they are hella fun.

It's all about the Analog this week: Supposedly McDSP has the answer to Analog tape Saturation, warmth in the DAW.... with a $4000 piece of hardware casually on the side. We also look at the Ferrous Landscape, a cute lil' string resonator hat looks to bring analog to your drones. Lastly in the Round Robin, we're lamenting on whether it's worth pitching to Spotify playlists any longer.

This week, we're discussing how to create album artwork on any budget. Album art is often the first impression a listener gets when checking out new music, so today we cover multiple ways to create it using apps, Photoshop, AI, commissions, and photos.

But artwork generation is more consistently being put behind a paywall and increasingly AI artwork is being called out for being so. So what are the alternatives for the independent musician on a budget? This week we discuss ways to get decent art done on the back of real human input and for a price.

Welcome to the end of Rebels Season 3. In the most cinematic Rebels episodes yet, “Zero Hour” (Rebels S3, Ep. 21–22) brings all the elements of Season 3 crashing together. In our recap, we tally up the wins and losses for the Rebellion and the Empire, wonder what people across the galaxy think about it, and talk about the Bendu's fate. We also pick our favorite Season 3 moments. Between the heroic score, sweeping visuals, deep family love, and epic sacrifice, these episodes brought us both to tears. And there's more coming! Sabine still has a debt to repay, Phoenix Cell is homeless again, and Thrawn is out for revenge. Now's the time to follow along with Growing Up Skywalker. With a heroic score, and visual elements that bring both your hosts to tears, this episode is an epic, sweeping, season finale that was worth the effort, and showcases the growth in the whole narrative in Star Wars in Rebels. And there is more coming! With Sabine's debt to repay, Phoenix Cell homeless again, and Thrawn out for revenge, we are waiting impatiently for Season 4! Want even more Growing Up Skywalker?
