My BandLab Addiction. Top Story - November 2019.
I love BandLab and, as far as I know, BandLab most certainly loves me. BandLab itself is an eye opener for an artist with a smartphone. The fact that I can remotely make music on the fly with a built-in DAW on an app still makes me smile. Discovering loopers... that was just the automated icing on the cake. The communities themselves are also a great way to discover other musicians and, when applicable, shamelessly plug yourself as well.

Best Headphones for DJing
The art of DJing is often overlooked. Before I started, I honestly thought it was as easy as pressing play on a CDJ and watching the crowd go wild... anyone could do it, right? I didn’t realise the complexity of accurately beat matching, especially in a club setting. The time and effort it takes to build a standout set, meticulously select the tracks, and then read the crowd's response to said tracks and find interesting and exciting ways of mixing the setlist to keep the audiences attention—everything that goes into performing and writing a GOOD DJ set is pretty hard work.

10 Great Gifts for Vaporwave Fans
I'll be the first one to admit that my musical tastes are a bit quirky, but few genres I listen to are as uniquely strange as vaporwave. It's true; us vaporwave fans are an odd breed that care just as much about our music's aesthetic as we do about the music itself.

Customize Your Listening Experience with Lucid Audio Headphones. Top Story - January 2019.
Music is one of the very few things in life that is both personal and public at the same time. Everyone experiences music a little differently, and will have different reactions to the same song. Everyone who goes to concerts knows that what we hear will differ from person to person due to the way our ears process it.

Why the Boompods Aquablaster Is the Only Bluetooth Speaker You Need
For years, speakers and large quantities of water were, in a sense, considered mutually exclusive. By that I mean you couldn't take your stereo system in the water (obviously), and even bringing it near water presented itself as a pretty hefty risk. I know this from firsthand experience, as my $500 boombox was destroyed by the ocean during high tide. Yes, I was drunk, and yes, I should've been more responsible, but I wanted to listen to some music while I was enjoying the ocean. Sue me.
