• Shake With The Sound Keeps “Lifted” Simple

  29-09-2026 23:55 via magneticmag.com
  
  Shake With The Sound’s “Lifted” knows exactly what kind of record it wants to be. It is not trying to be complicated, moody, or dressed up as something heavier than it is. The track is built to raise the room a few inches, and that directness is the best thing about it.The beat has a springy movement to it, the melodic writing stays bright, and the whole track carries itself with the kind of easy confidence that only works when the producer is not trying to force too many ideas

• Pedro Gariani’s Musical DNA: 10 Records Behind the Sound

  29-09-2026 21:46 via magneticmag.com
  
  For Pedro Gariani, music has always been about more than the dancefloor. The Brazilian DJ, producer and curator has built his sound around the meeting point between house, club culture and the rich musical traditions of his home country, from samba and disco to funk carioca, Latin rhythms and the sounds embedded in Brazil’s cultural memory.That connection comes into sharp focus on his latest release, “Saci”, out now on ¡Queer y Latina!. Inspired by one of Brazil’s m

• Johny-Five and Tom Fool Turn “Menace” Into a D&B Trapdoor

  29-09-2026 21:33 via magneticmag.com
  
  Johny-Five (pictured above) and Tom Fool’s (pictured below) “Menace” works because it starts lighter than its title suggests. The first stretch has that roller energy that can sit comfortably in a DJ set without immediately giving away where it is headed. There is bounce in the drums, enough playfulness up top to keep the track from feeling too severe, and a vocal presence from Tom Fool that gives the tune a more human point of attack.That matters because a lot of drum and bass

• Lana Crow On Gratitude, Growth, And The Songwriting Process Behind

  29-09-2026 21:32 via magneticmag.com
  
  Lana Crow’s “Rise and Shine” is built around a deceptively simple request: give me a smile. That can sound almost too light on paper, the kind of phrase that risks drifting into greeting-card optimism if the song doesn’t earn it.But Crow is not talking about positivity as a decorative mood…
  She is talking about thought as a daily force, the kind that shapes posture, tone, reaction, self-respect, and the version of the world a person keeps confirming back to themsel

• Steve Pardo Builds A Pastoral Score From Less On Farthest Frontier

  29-09-2026 18:02 via magneticmag.com
  
  A survival town-builder can easily push music toward utility: give the player something pleasant, stay out of the way, loop cleanly, and avoid becoming irritating after the hundredth hour. Steve Pardo’s score for Farthest Frontier sounds like it came from a more specific question than that.
  How do you write music for a game about building a settlement at the edge of the known world without turning that world into fantasy wallpaper, and without over-defining a culture, nation, or time perio

• Loopmasters Buys Jamahook for Smarter Search

  29-09-2026 17:43 via magneticmag.com
  
  Loopmasters acquiring Jamahook makes sense because the hardest part of using samples in 2026 is rarely finding enough of them. It is finding the right one before the idea dies.Loopcloud already sits on a huge amount of material, with Loopmasters citing more than four million royalty-free samples inside the platform and more than five million across the company’s wider catalog.
  That scale is the selling point, but it is also the problem. A producer can have access to almost anything and sti

• Spitfire and BT Build Phoenix for Motion

  29-09-2026 17:29 via magneticmag.com
  
  Spitfire Audio’s Phoenix feels like the kind of instrument that starts from a simple question and then refuses to answer it simply. What happens when you take BT’s private archive of vintage synthesizer, sampler, cassette, and vinyl material, place it next to orchestral recordings from Spitfire’s libraries, then build a synthesis system designed to pull the material apart instead of merely replaying it?That is the basic premise behind Phoenix, the latest Spitfire Audio collabor
