For RA Mix 1029, Valentina Magaletti turns inward for a rare solo excursion.
The singular percussionist presents a roving 90 minutes of wild drum excursions, Midwestern industrial, eerie gqom and Ukrainian electro.
It's crazy how much this can do -- custom synths, effects, display and web streaming and sampling, and controllers.
But I don't want to bury the lede: on-device screenreader support is a major breakthrough for blind and partially sighted users. And let's hope it starts a trend.

Free, brilliant device here by @roberthenke.bsky.social for Ableton Live Suite, built in @cycling74.bsky.social Max for Live. Clever details and a good illustration of how economical patching and gen~ can be, too:
Move 2.0 may have gotten less attention, but this is big: Audio Tracks for live audio processing and some warping, too. That's in addition to Link Audio, Erosion, and Pitch Shifter. Move owners can try this beta just by connecting to a computer.

wikipedia's new editor count is down a bit and perhaps it's your time to try it editing!!! it's a small and concrete way to help and here are a few ways to start!!!

Blue and onyx spiral against a sea-blue background, Emagic Logic box art.
Updated icon for Logic Pro with abstracted CD/album, hole in center, looping circle on the outside.
Everyone is complaining about the new Apple icons, but -- the new Logic icon, intentionally or not, calls back to this Emagic image. (I mean, the platinum CD was starting to look a little dated!)
That or else it's Blue HAL.
If you're not already playing with this, you should be!
Sting was already fun, but 'freezing' parameters when you hit generate, setting octave, and adding arpeggiator playability completely opens it up. Funnerer than ever.*
Everand abo for the basics. Amazon for buying most of the rest. Anna’s Archive for hard to get ones or if you are broke. 😇📖💲

The Black Dog's second album Temple Of Transparent Balls dropped through the cracks a bit, including because it was hard to find and released soon after Bytes. It seemed a bit non-committal compared to what came before. Listening now it sounds pristine after 32 years

Introducing Dark Mode. Browse the Discogs' Marketplace and manage your Collection with a low-light interface for a more immersive experience.
A highly requested feature is here! Dark Mode is now available on the Discogs app for iOS and Android: https://disc.gs/4pLV9Co
@discogsofficial.bsky.social I would obviously (!) want the option to delete and edit the items i‘m selling. Otherwise, what’s the benefit of the app to me as a seller? Looking at my collection on a pretty dark background? Am i missing something?
Yes, this is cool, only took a moment. But let me ask this: When i log in, go to For Sale > then click on one of the items I (!) am selling, only to get confronted with the options Add to cart or Make Offer (??). I AM NOT INTERESTED IN BUYING MY OWN RECORDS! What the hell?
Oh no! 🖤💔 This will be the end of the Black Dog 🐕🦺😭
It’s with great sadness and a heavy heart that we announce the passing of Ken Downie on 20/12/25. Rest In Peace brother, you will be deeply missed and never forgotten. Our condolences to Sheena and his family.
