As I said — I’m die-hard. Been here a long time as a fan, so I’m naturally inclined to look for the positives in a new Tame album rather than the negatives. I’m into a pretty broad range of genres; Tame has been the single biggest musical influence on my life, but my other favourite artist is Bonobo, and I also make that kind of music myself. So I’m totally open to an electronic record — if it’s done well.

My vinyl (UK) arrived early today, and I’ve already spun the album five times. As usual, a bunch of tracks are already starting to grow on me. I loved Dracula, and thought Loser was really nice too, but EoS felt like a bit of a missed opportunity — great sound design, but it

I've seen stuff floating around with the EU link but nothing for the UK. Let's keep UK links/discussion in one place here. Has anyone had the UK link?

Hey all. I'm after some help valuing a record I may be willing to part ways with. I paid £400 for it myself in 2020. It was part of a series by secret 7 in 2016 and only 100 copies of it were made, each with unique artwork designed by a different artist, so it's a one of a kind. The artist who designed this one was Lucas Donaud from Paris. Here's a link to the artwork: https://lucasdonaud.com/secret-7-tame-impala - I've found various bits and pieces of it going for around the £400 mark but I can't see anyone selling one at the moment so I don't know if that makes it more valuable or not. I have no idea how much (if any) profit I'd stand to mak

Really fascinated by this track (link at bottom). Would love to try and make a couple of the synth sounds. The main rhythmic synth with the glide that's panned centrally playing pretty much from the start but opens up a bit more at the 0:53 drop so you can hear it clearer. Is it just played/programmed with that rhythm or is it triggered by an external source? On that same drop, there's a lead sustained sound that almost has a flute like timbre which I also would love to try and recreate. If anyone can tell me exactly how to make these in Serum that would be awesome! I understand the basics of synthesis but I'm no pro, so any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Anyone going for these now? Shout up here if any issues/tips etcs

I've read bits and pieces in this sub about the botted playlist narrative. So I've been vigilant to look out for it and one of my tracks has had a sudden burst in Finland. I've seen folks post in here about Spotify's new way of reporting botted playlists, but when I check the playlists tab on my song in Spotify for Artists, I can only see playlists I know are legit (such as the one run by my label, which is part of Black Hole Recordings, so I'd be surprised if they were responsible?). None of the other playlists that my track is being streamed in have yielded enough volume in streams to support the sudden Finland spike. Any ideas on how I can find it? Sorry I'm a bit of a noob with this.

Hi there. I make electronica inspired by artists like bonobo, maribou state, four tet etc. I’ve put stuff out on a few little labels but I’d like to expand where I’m targeting and I’m not too clued up on labels. Does anyone know any labels who specialise in these kinds of genres or any advice for finding them? Here’s a soundcloud link to the type of track I’m talking about. Thanks in advance! https://on.soundcloud.com/wxDfazjCguwG4Lep7

Hi all. I’m a relatively new artist and I have a track that I suppose straddles electronica and deep house. I find it difficult to nail a genre to my music. I’m thinking I’ll have a crack at getting this one signed but I’m not sure where it fits or what labels to send it to. Here’s a link to the track, any advice is welcome :).

It has all of my unbacked up work on my laptop (I’m an idiot I know). I realised only a couple of mins after he dropped me off but I couldn’t see my trip in the app. Called Uber and they were having a technical issue so they couldn’t see the trip either. I was just told to sit tight. A couple of hours later the trip showed up and I tried to call the driver twice, as did Uber. It was about 1:30am by now so it is feasible that he could’ve finished and gone to bed. It’s now 7:50am UK time and I haven’t slept because I’m petrified that years of work is lost. Does anyone know where I stand if the driver never responds? Or to what lengths Uber will go to help me?

Hey guys - hoping someone can help. I'm not sure what has caused it, but the quality when pitching things up or down in complex pro mode seems to have worsened. I think I might have accidentally changed something somewhere in the settings. Usually I find that pro mode is the way to go. However, now, every time I try to re-pitch something with it, it sounds really grainy.

I can't see anything obvious in the settings that I would think should impact this, but it's really messing with my workflow. Any ideas?

Hey guys. Could use some help recreating a couple of sounds please :)

First one is a glitchy lead that comes in at 0:58 on this track: https://youtu.be/WGZDBPsoIwo

Next one seems like a fairly simple distorted bass patch. Comes in at 0:30. https://youtu.be/6V_n-Haj4tM

I’ll be using soft synths and I have the Arturia v collection if that helps.
