Jordan is a flutist, composer, and producer whose work bridges diverse worlds, but he’s far more than that in many, many ways. Raised across Brazil, the USA, Switzerland, and the UK, Jordan’s compositions are deeply influenced by an immigrant sensibility—the experience of navigating multiple cultures and never fully belonging to one place.His recent

• Dangerous Music Makes BAX Earn Its Plugin

  31-07-2026 20:39 via magneticmag.com
  
  The easy version of this story is that Dangerous Music has turned the BAX EQ into a plugin.That undersells the actual tension.Plenty of hardware brands have moved classic studio boxes into software. Sometimes it works. Sometimes the plugin becomes a convenient approximation with the name, the faceplate, and a familiar curve, while the reason people cared about the hardware in the first place gets thinned out in translation.Dangerous Music clearly knew that problem before it started talking about

  PRAANA (@praanamusic) return with Insight Out, their second studio album, out now on Colorize.
  The 16-track project follows 2023’s Supernal Dawn and pushes Chad Cisneros and Dave Reed further into the reflective, melodic side of progressive house, where glowing synth work, hypnotic grooves, and emotional songwriting all sit at the center of the record.
  It also lands during a strong stretch for Colorize albums, following the kind of full-length melodic-progressive worldbuilding I wrote abou

  KDDO has spent more than a decade doing the kind of work that changes pop music from behind the glass.That is the strange thing about producers at this level. Their fingerprints can be everywhere, while their names still sit one layer behind the artist, the vocal, the hook, and the record’s public story. KDDO’s résumé is not small.

• Best Desktop Studio Monitors For Producers Working In Small Rooms

  31-07-2026 19:55 via magneticmag.com
  
  The best desktop studio monitors for small rooms need to solve a problem that monitor companies have ignored for years. Producers are creating music in bedroom corners and converted home offices, yet many speakers are still designed around longer listening distances and rooms with dedicated acoustic treatment. A larger woofer can excite untreated walls and corners before it gives the producer any extra confidence in the low end, which is why I usually point smaller studios toward compact nearfie

Collision Devices’ latest sale has a little more bite because the scarcity is specific.The company is running 15% to 25% off its shop through August 20, but the more immediate detail is the hardware count.

• Best Granular Plugins For Electronic Music: What I Use When A Sound Needs To Become Something New

  31-07-2026 19:18 via magneticmag.com
  
  Best granular plugins for electronic music are worth covering on their own because granular processing solves a specific kind of production problem. Sometimes I do not need another reverb, another delay, or another synth preset. I need one sound to break apart, smear, freeze, repeat, stretch, or turn into a new layer that still remembers where it came from.
  That is where granular tools become valuable for electronic music, especially when a track needs motion without adding another lead line. Fo

• Best Plugins For Reference Tracks And Mix Checking: What I Use To Finish Mixes Faster

  30-07-2026 00:52 via magneticmag.com
  
  When you are trying to hunt down the best plugins for reference tracks, mix checking is a bit trickier than a generic mastering plugin roundup.
  So with this idea in mind for this article, the goal here is not to make a track loud for its own sake, since the real goal is to make better decisions before the mix gets overworked. I use reference tracks to check level, tone, stereo width, low-end balance, vocal placement, and whether the track still feels competitive after my ears have adjusted to th

• PREMIERE: “Carrera GT” Leads Chicken Town’s Next Release

  29-07-2026 17:51 via magneticmag.com
  
  The easy way to sell a track like “Carrera GT” is to talk about the guitars first. The fuzz, the dirt, the rock and roll posture, the whole late-night highway thing. That is all there, and it is clearly part of the draw.The better read is that G L’e P and New York Acid Assembly understand how dangerous this territory can be.

That idea sits under the whole record. It is not an escape album exactly, though it is not buried under dread either. It sounds like three musicians trying to keep their ears open while everything outside the room keeps getting louder.The Berlin trio is built around Irina on keys and synths, Miguel on bass and

  Boom bap production relies heavily on source selection and timing, so the right kick, snare, or short melodic cut can define the entire instrumental before processing enters the conversation.
