    How It Was Made: Linds – Destiny (A State of Trance + Uplifting Trance)
    Some of the best ideas in electronic music come together when you’re away from the studio, and for Polish producer Linds (@linds_muzik) , the defining melody of his latest single, “Destiny,” came during a five-hour train ride from Warsaw to Berlin. While traveling to a show, he overheard a melody faintly playing from another passenger’s headphones, which sparked the initial inspiration for a track that would eventually become his debut release on A State of Trance.

    Lickd Can You Use Popular Music In Shorts_Outreach
    YouTube Shorts have become the primary attraction of YouTube overall, attracting far more likes and views than regular videos. Many creators are diversifying their output by including Shorts, while others are choosing to go all in on this snappy approach to content. As with all media formats, recognisable music can do wonders for these short-form bursts of entertainment. But how does one access popular music for YouTube Shorts? Music licensing can be complicated, and if improper use is flag

    How It Was Made: Feiertag – Something I Shouldn’t Be ft. FEMI (Omni Youth + Electronica)
    Dutch producer Feiertag (@feiertag_music) has always had an interest in the space between live instrumentation and electronic production, and his latest single, “Something I Shouldn’t Be,” brings those two sides of his sound together in a particularly interesting way. Released September 23 via Omni Youth, the track began with a breakbeat and an unexpected discovery while experimenting with a vocal sample from Dutch artist FEMI.
    That initial idea eventually developed into a reco

It makes itself the main character, blooms around every kick drum, turns film scores into a low-frequency mess, and tricks people into thinking more bass automatically means better sound.A good subwoofer does almost the opposite.

    John Mlynczak On NAMM, DJs, And The Future Of Gear
    NAMM can look like a gear show from the outside, especially if all you see are launch videos, crowded booth photos, and the annual flood of “best new synths/controllers/interfaces” posts that hit the internet every January. But for DJs and electronic producers, the real reason to show up is usually less obvious and much more valuable. Itis a chance to get in the same room as the people building the gear and software that shape how records get made, sets get played, and entire workflo

    HAAi Takes HUMANiSE Back to the Club
    HAAi’s DIGITiSE makes a lot more sense once you stop treating it like a traditional follow-up album and start hearing it like a DJ making a record for the room she actually plays in.That is the part I like here. HUMANiSE already gave HAAi a big conceptual canvas, full of questions around connection, digital pressure, found family, and the human pieces that technology still cannot recreate. DIGITiSE does not abandon that idea. It drags it back toward the system, the booth, the sweat, and th
