  24-06-2026 22:25 via magneticmag.com

  Donner has one of the broadest music gear promotions in the sale, with a weighted digital piano and a complete electronic drum kit leading the way.
  There are also useful discounts on synths, interfaces, mic

  Undertone Audio has released the MPEQ-1 Super-Parametric Saturation Equalizer Plugin, turning one of its hardware designs into a software tool with a few additions that could make it useful well beyond simple corrective EQ.The biggest feature is independent saturation on every band.

• Sampleson Aeronaut Turns Any Audio Input Into Real-Time Cinematic Ambience

  22-06-2026 19:05 via magneticmag.com
  
  Sampleson has released Aeronaut, a spectral effects plugin designed to turn guitars, vocals, synths, chords, and other incoming signals into evolving cinematic ambiance in real time.The basic idea is immediately usable in the studio. Insert Aeronaut on an audio or instrument track, play something into it, and the plugin begins to freeze, stretch, and rebuild fragments of the source. Those fragments keep moving alongside the live input, so the resulting atmosphere follows the performance rather t

• Hollow Shift Turn Personal And Societal Conflict Into Darkwave Tension On WAR

  22-06-2026 18:13 via magneticmag.com
  
  Hollow Shift’s WAR starts from a subject that could easily become too broad, then brings it back down to the scale of the individual. The three-track release looks at conflict through fear, division, survival, identity, and the smaller battles people carry long before those tensions become public.That gives the project a sharper emotional center than a record built solely around politics. Jessica Bell and Alexander Zamparas are interested in what conflict does to the person living through

  Bobi Stevkovski (@bobi.stevkovski) links back up with YokoO on Stranger Things, their second EP for SATYA, and a release that leans into the stranger, deeper edges of their shared language. Across “Someone Else” and “They From Space,” the record moves with that patient, hypnotic energy SATYA has built its name around, with Sublee and Hostox adding remixes that pull the source material into their own deeper zones.
  It is club music, clearly, though it feels like the kind bu

That balance is the useful part if you really think about it.

  Matt FX returns to Non-Friction Records with Big Dish Energy, a four-track house EP that keeps the label’s early catalog loose, playful, and wired for late-night movement.Recorded between New York, London, and Montreal, the project carries that cross-city energy without turning into a cleanly polished club package.

  Brooklyn’s La’Dell (@la_dell) has been building his own lane for a minute now, and “Stoop Talk” feels like one of the best examples of what that actually means in practice. His BKLYN Organic Tech identity has always sat in an interesting place, pulling from house, Afro rhythms, hip-hop, and R&B without sounding boxed into one formula.
  That mix has already landed him chart positions across Beatport’s Afro House and Organic House sections, but this new EP on Tech

  Old Blood Noise Endeavors has always been good at taking familiar guitar effects and pushing them a little sideways. The company’s summer gain lineup leans into that part of its identity, centering a group of pedals built for larger riffs, rougher textures, and dirt tones that feel more alive than another polite overdrive box.The featured group includes Pardner Fuzz, Excess V2, Beam Splitter, Fault V2, Haunt, and Alpha Haunt.
