Mark Ronson: How sampling transformed music
Sampling isn’t about “hijacking nostalgia wholesale,” says Mark Ronson. It’s about inserting yourself into the narrative of a song while also pushing that story forward. Watch the DJ scramble 15 TED Talks into an audio-visual omelette, and trace the evolution of “La Di Da Di,” Doug E. Fresh and Slick Rick’s 1984 hit that has been reimagined for every generation since.
TEDTalks is a daily video podcast of the best talks and performances from the TED Conference, where the world’s leading thinkers and doers give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes (or less).

New video from electro act Dani’el
Croatian electropop artist Dani’el who has scored a major hit with “It’s time” returns with a brand new video, “Algabal”. Produced by Bryan Cox in a direction by fashion photographerMarko Grubisic.
Note that the lyrics were written by Stefan George in 1892… Being influenced by Greek classical forms, in revolt against the realist trend in German literature at the time, George was an important bridge between the 19th century and German modernism, even though he was a harsh critic of the then modern era. “Algabal” is one of George’s best remembered collections of poetry and the title is a reference to the effete Roman emperor Elagabalus.

Remco Sound FX Machine Commercial
The Remco Electronic Sound FX machine was based on the Texas Instruments SN76477 analog sound effects chip. This little late-1970s integrated circuit generated square and noise waves that could be modulated to create all manner of bleeps, bloops, buzzes and auditory insanity. It’s perhaps most famous as the sound chip used in the arcade version of Space Invaders.

About Wusik 8000
The BIG brother of Wusik 4000, porting all the goodies from its little brother, but adding more and more features. Wusik 8000 is a BIG project, with more options, a higher price tag, and also heavier, but without loosing its own beauty. There are times that Wusik 4000 alone will do the trick, other times, Wusik 8000 comes to the rescue! The idea is to re-write Wusik 4000 and introduce a totally new product. With Wusik 4000 and 8000 along, we will have a great set of modular products that are easy to use, sound great and can totally change the way you make music. Wusik 8000 is for the bold users out there, who are not afraid of experimenting new sounds. But still, it can be easy to setup, easy as clicking on a preset and playing some notes. Below you will find the complete details of what we are working on for this great new product.
