Record store day 2013: Boards of Canada and Third Man Records

Our Northern electronic music duo, Boards of Canada, are in the kitchen again and released some one-off 12" vinyls in certain outlets on record store day hinting at a new album from Warp (which has been confirmed). Reported findings seem somewhat reminiscent of Willy Wonka's golden tickets hidden across the globe. Third Man Records own record booth was pressing vinyls like crazy on the same day. Coincidence?...yes, it was record store day. Here's a video version of one of the records.

Exomoons @ Guitar Center Expo 2013

Check out our gear highlights from the expo in beautiful long beach Califonia. For the people that missed NAMM this is a special chance to check out some of the newest gear and get event only pricing. If you've had your eye on that special piece of gear this might be the place to find it at a bargain. Also a good place for aspiring musicians and distributors to highlight their craft. Here's some new and not so new iOS interfaces and studio hardware.

iOS update: S4 Rythm Composer + S4 Industrial Composer get Audiobus input

These two free drum machine apps from Sobal Corperation's S4 dev team (Japan) are loaded with cool features including WIST, core midi, audio copy and now Audiobus input. Similar to Korg's iElectribe in layout, very tunnable and if you like crunchy glitch beats (the sample quality is not great) you'll problly enjoy these apps. You can easily program 16 bar drum loops up to 128 bars all available in 64 banks but the coolest feature is the drum roll slider, check it out!

Price: FREE!
