If you want to know the backstory of the endorsement deal head over to the Wire to the Ear blog post titled, “Anatomy of an endorsement deal.“.

“So it’s official: The Horrorist is endorsed by Propellerhead Software. I, as you know record under the name “The Horrorist” and today the box of goodies you see in the above photo arrived at my studio. I also managed to get one of the bands on my label Ionic Vision the same deal.” - Oliver Chesler

Oliver Chesler has left a post over on his Wire to the Ear blog with some audio samples of his upcoming Satronica and Implant remixes.

“I am finally free of all obligations other than to finish my next album. It’s a good feeling especially because these last two remixes had me pulling my hair out.” - Oliver Chesler

The current project today at the Things to Come studio is finishing a remix for Devilock Records. For those interested here are two screenshots of whats happening. We are in arrangement view now in Ableton Live. The plug-ins you see here are the Wayoutware Timewarp 2600 and the Izotope Ozone. The Timewarp is a great virtual re-creation of the vintage analog synth from ARP called the 2600. The Ozone is providing a wide stereo field for the synth.

French techno-ebm Things to Come Records artist Stamba has been buying a lot of old electronic things off eBay. He recently started his own YouTube channel to show the world what he does in his spare time. In this video he shows off his Commodore 64 and Prophet64 cartridge to create a Roland TB-303 emulation.
