I tried a lot of gear in 2025... some completely changed my workflow, while others barely lasted a week. In this video, I’m breaking down every piece of gear I picked up this year: what stuck, what surprised me, and what totally flopped.

This week we’re sitting down with Sunwarper to explore Today’s Traces, a reflection on memory, impermanence, and what remains after the moment passes.
We’ll talk about finding purpose outside the algorithm, and how creative shifts can redefine who we are as artists.

This week’s been all about revisiting old workflows.
With all the new gear announcements lately, I decided to take a step back and reconnect with a few instruments that had been sitting unused in the studio.
There’s something special about returning to the instruments that helped shape your sound.

A lot of new music production gear was announced this week
And while the marketing always promises better, faster beats, I’ve been reminded how much you can get out of simply iterating with what you already have.
