We round-up the year’s bumper crop of music making hardware and software, to bring you our guide to the essential gear you need in your studio for 2021

The TAL-J-8 is a very accurate emulation of the popular 80's hardware synthesiser and calibrated after our own Jupiter 8 device. All sounds are generated in realtime without the use of any samples with the same endless modulation possibilities like the hardware and useful additional features like the calibration section that can make the filter scream.

In modern music, Dancehall has become a mainstay. We can thank the influence of Jamaican Dancehall music for modern pop hits like “One Dance” by Drake, and “Shape of You” by Ed Sheeran, despite neither one of these artists claiming the decorated genre as their own. “Sound Clash”, created by accomplished producer Jathniel Solomon (Madd Vybes Muzik) is a sample pack dedicated entirely to modern Dancehall music. With its infectious rhythms and catchy synth lines, this pack authentically narrows in on the danceable grooves the genre is known for. “Sound Clash” features 15 Melodic Loops, 15 Drum Loops, and over 140 drum and synth one-shots for a drag-and-drop, or more hands on approach to Dancehall production.

Zebra Arkhangel is a collection of 360 patches for Zebra2 and ZebraHZ.

Enter an off-kilter world dedicated to sounds that are unexpected and unpredictable. An enigmatic playground full of analogue abstraction, digital delight and organic oddness.
