Orchestral sampling has come a long way from the early days of rigid, dry sample blocks. For over two decades, ProjectSAM has been at the forefront of this evolution, pioneering an ensemble-recording philosophy that brought the natural, breathing acoustic space of a hall straight into composers’ studios. With their groundbreaking Lineage Series now expanding from percussion into strings, we caught up with the team to discuss their core philosophy, how NKS (Native Kontrol Standard) is transforming accessibility, and how intelligent features are reshaping the day-to-day workflow of modern composers.

Portland-based duo New Constellations write with an instinct that feels personal, grounded, and deeply human. Lifelong friends Harlee Case and Josh Smith have spent more than fifteen years creating together, shaping a sound that balances nostalgia with modern clarity. Their latest single, “Secret Safe,” out now via Nettwerk, captures that balance perfectly. The track reflects both artistic and emotional continuity. Written during a time of transition as close friends moved away, “Secret Safe” channels distance into connection and change into affirmation. It is a reminder that creative work often mirrors life’s relationships; evolving, stretching, and holding form even as time passes. Underneath the warmth of its melody sits a...

Citizen Kain’s new single “Moments,” featuring Kaps signals a defining step in his career as both producer and label founder. The track introduces Eversun Records, a new platform dedicated to emotion, energy, and light. It represents a continuation of Kain’s melodic vision, refined through years of releases on Afterlife, Ellum Audio, and ATLANT. The production behind “Moments” showcases the precision and warmth that define his approach to melodic techno. At the center of that process sits Replika, our delay plugin that helped him build atmosphere without losing focus. Rather than using delay as a decorative layer, Kain relied on it to guide the arrangement’s tension, depth, and cohesion. Every decision in “Moments” reflects Kain’s...

For Calcou, collaboration marks the start of a new era. With Now, What?, the Berlin-based producer expands his solo project into a full-fledged duo, joined by vocalist and songwriter Thea. The record captures the moment when two creative perspectives meet, balancing live performance, electronic production, and songwriting with clarity and purpose. The EP feels equal parts experimental and direct, pairing organic textures with modular energy. Tracks like “Closer” and “Green Hills” reveal how their shared workflow builds tension between natural warmth and precise rhythm. That balance begins with tools like Native Instruments’ Reaktor, Monark, and Super 8, which give them both structure and freedom. What makes Now, What? so compelling...
