If you thought the Hydrasynth was wild, the ASM Leviasynth is an absolute sonic street weapon. Starsky Carr, the king of deep dives, drags this beast out of the lab and into the spotlight, showing off why it’s already scaring other synths into submission. We’re talking 16 voices, 8 oscillators per voice, and a filter that oozes character. Forget preset surfing – this is hands-on, patch-from-scratch territory, with FM, wavetables, and classic analogue warmth all under your fingertips. If your studio needs a new centrepiece (or you just want to watch a synth pro do things you’ll never dare), this … Read more

TAETRO vs. UVI Rumble: When a Bass Plugin Turns a Lofi Cat Into a Dubstep Animal

RILEY

Ever seen a lofi beatmaker try to throw down in the dubstep ring? TAETRO’s latest video is a wild detour from chilled-out grooves into face-melting basslines, all thanks to UVI’s new Rumble plugin. This isn’t just another plugin demo—it’s a Chicago street food remix of genres, where the sub hits heavy and the genre rules get tossed out like yesterday’s pizza box. TAETRO’s style is friendly, hyper-practical, and just a little self-deprecating, making this journey into bass music both hilarious and surprisingly educational. If you dig gear that inspires you to flip your workflow, this one’s for you.

Meska’s Resonant FB Firmware Update: Clock Mods That Actually Matter

SPARKY

Meska storms back less than a fortnight after his last outing on the Resonant Filter Blank, thanks to a firmware update that drops harder than a rave at 3am. Forget tepid bug fixes—this update delivers real fire, especially if you live in clock mod territory. Morphing, new modulation directions, and preset saves all land with a punch, and Meska wastes no time putting them to the test in his signature dark techno style. If you think firmware updates are usually snooze material, think again—this one’s got teeth, and Meska’s demo is proof.

DivKid Throws Down with Random8: Three Patches, Infinite Chaos

SPARKY

DivKid’s back in the bunker, and this time he’s got his twitchy mitts on the new Random8 from Mylar Melodies and Befaco. If you think random voltages are just for the spaced-out modular heads, think again. Across three patches, DivKid shows how Random8 turns polite synth lines into untamed street weapons—whether you want subtle movement, glitched-out techno, or full-on ambient weirdness. It’s a hands-on, no-fluff tour with plenty of button mashing, patch cable tangles, and a healthy disrespect for predictable sequences. Miss this episode and you’ll never know how good random can sound when it’s locked, looped, or let off … Read more

Underdog Electronic Music School

Underdog Electronic Music School Takes Us Inside WAMM: Brussels’ Modular Mayhem

SPARKY

If you thought synth festivals were all sterile convention halls and corporate shills, think again. Underdog Electronic Music School dives headfirst into WAMM, Brussels’ answer to the modular mafia, where instrument builders and knob-twiddlers collide in a three-act rave opera. Expect candid chats, cable spaghetti, and a vibe closer to a warehouse party than a trade show. Oscar’s knack for sussing out the weird and wonderful makes this tour a must-watch for anyone more interested in raw sound than slick marketing. Put your filter sweeps on hold – WAMM brings the synth family home.

Chris Sangster’s Region Inspector Rave: Logic Pro’s Best-Kept Workflow Weapon

SPARKY

Let’s face it: most Logic Pro users sleepwalk past the Region Inspector, missing out on a goldmine of power moves. Chris Sangster, the meticulous mind behind Sangster Sounds, drops the fluff and gets surgical with Logic’s most overlooked panel. If you’re tired of repetitive grid-lock and clunky edits, this video is your ticket to smarter, dirtier, and far slicker sessions. Chris doesn’t just break down features – he exposes workflow hacks that’ll make your next project punch harder and run cleaner. Don’t blink, or you’ll miss tricks that’ll turn your DAW routine into a full-blown rave bunker.

HAINBACH & the Sonic Boom Sampler: Brüel & Kjær 7502 Goes Full Rave Bunker

SPARKY

Ever heard of a sampler built to catch a Concorde’s sonic boom? HAINBACH dives deep into the Brüel & Kjær 7502 Digital Event Recorder—the original hardware hack that accidentally became a street weapon for weirdos and sound adventurers. In a sharp, thoroughly nerdy interview with inventor Flemming Madsen, we get the lowdown on how a chunk of measurement kit found its way from vibration analysis to the hands of composers ready to break the rules. This isn’t your typical synth history—expect unexpected twists, a bit of gear envy, and a hard reminder that sometimes the best music tools start life … Read more

Voltage Labs

Voltage Labs Illuminates: Boards of Canada and the Sonic Art of Uncertainty

LUMINA

Boards of Canada are not merely heard—they are felt, like the memory of sunlight on closed eyelids or the static of forgotten VHS tapes. Voltage Labs, with their cinematic eye and cultural curiosity, guides us through the duo’s fog-shrouded world, where each track is both a comfort and a riddle. Through absence, analog haze, and cryptic signals, Boards of Canada conjure nostalgia and mystery as living, breathing atmospheres. This Voltage Labs piece is an invitation to drift inside the music’s magnetic resonance, where every note is a ghost and every silence, a story waiting to be decoded.
