Shocking news and a huge loss. David Abravanel digs into the mystery of Ken Downie and why he's mattered to us. A deep dive from Music for Adverts to "Mental Health Hotline"...

The FL Web drop created a splash. Here's some clarity from Image-Line about what their plans are, why they built this, who it's for -- and some hands-on impressions. (Plus yeah, South African amapiano producers)
FL on the Web: hands-on; Image-Line tells us what it all means (including some development details): https://t.co/MSDcoaGHI4

Hand-drawn characters, indie film-style field recordings on location in Quito -- this is a triumphant reminder of what human-made media can be and how it can connect to memory and emotion.
Despelote’s soundscape transports you to Ecuador and childhood football magic: https://t.co/T8kHgLq5PL A case study in use of music, field recordings, and spatial sound, too. One of the best of 2025.

A view from the DIY perspective, the one-computer rig that can do almost anything, among the Big Brands and amssive decks. Oh, and why this *could* be a job path safe from AI rot, in case you like eating and health insurance.
The business of live at Vegas’ LDI show, from global trends to espionage. https://t.co/ReXHiAaarP And yes, possibly some opportunities for work, just as some areas in music and visuals are shrinking. Nice analysis from Colin Keurheen on what it all means.

Let's hug and make IDM like it's 2005-2006.
Tweakbench plug-ins return after 20 years, from NES to ambient. Some of these are *really* good if you weren't around the first time around... https://t.co/pwGkpwh7xb

Lulled myself into a nice state of calm with this one this evening... so, normally, how it works is you give away the old plug-in or limited version. With Sinevibes, it flipped around to "improve/add features AND also make it free"
Skew v2 from @Sinevibes - a unique, multi-curved, reverse delay effect - adds new features like feedback and sound improvements. And one *major* new feature: now it's free. https://t.co/zjqZJawcXc

It's not too late to save your brain. Join me on this! And... maybe meet offline somewhere.
Shae O. Omonijo’s free series on critical thinking, staying human, in the AI age: https://t.co/kYvRDasD5Y And it comes with a syllabus. Plus reading, because, you know, *reading*!

Including techno+notonlytechno from B_X_R_N_X_R_D, Deena Abdelwahed, Elayn, Selezione Naturale, and generally some embedded opinions about what I believe in musically and listen to.

If you're in need of a hump-day mix, did this one for FLASH's streamed Klubnacht, full playlist -- some new 2025 music mixed in there, as well. Techno, but definitely not only four on the floor. https://t.co/TGo1JsQHJV

Huge boon to removing barriers for new users, teaching, and more. Public beta now (waitlist):
Boom. It's FL Studio on the Web, with complete native FL plug-in support. Public beta details, and why this matters: https://t.co/H31U4fLzHv Fruity Loops in my Chrome!

No, really, it has a "blink" button. This thing is absolutely fantastic; maybe my favorite new looper. If you can call it a looper, even. Another hidden gem on @IsotonikStudios
Mudjaq TapeLeap, a freaky tape/lo-fi looper that can blink, be broken: a @mudjaq000 wonder for #maxforlive

It's Mx. Pinky's birthday, and if you need some energy to deal with the world, this is a mix to play and cherish.

Grab a cold Koryfei, kick back, and enjoy. One of my favorite live acts of the year, so she was perfect to debut Protein. (oh yeah and someone from UA can feel free to argue with me on the beer choice!)
ZAVOLOKA’s high-protein live set on the new Waldorf synth is don’t-miss: https://t.co/CBFb29o4SY

In a starfish dance macabre, painting craft by Jazz Szu-Ying Chen captures the inner spirit of Surgeon and please, please, collaborate, paint, find human ways of realizing music visually. A rant and a 2025 favorite with a discussion with Jazz + Tony (Tresor Records):
Jazz Szu-Ying Chen and Surgeon remind us why craft and art matter in music albums: (on @TresorBerlin Records) https://t.co/lXq08jjnPU

As usual, this winds up being about more than just the synth.
Absynth creator Brian Clevinger on synths, emotions, and “weird-ass ideas.” Plus the importance of the Ondes Martenot as a synth designer! And UI lead Hannah Lockwood joins from UI to talk about green. https://t.co/k4g8MH2vu8
