When Charlie Andrew began working with Alt-J, both were unknown. The very first album to bear his name as producer, Alt-J's An Awesome Wave, was hailed as one of the most innovative rock-electronica hybrids for years, winning the 2012 Mercury Music Prize and being named BBC 6Music Album of the Year. Top that off with integral roles in the making of Madness's album Oui Oui Si Si Ja Ja Da Da — which, inevitably, turned out to be their best in years — and Eugene McGuinness's excellent The Invitation To The Voyage, it's fair to say that 2012 was a year when Charlie Andrew well and truly broke through.

Winter modular seem to be well aware of what you could turn a kick or bass drum into. So much so that they’ve amusingly changed the name around on their Eurorack Bass Drum Module as if to prove that this isn’t just any old bass drum; no no, this is the DassBrum.

Roland is celebrating 20 years of 404 beat culture and the 20th anniversary of its iconic and genre-breaking sampler, the SP-404 Sampling Workstation during the week of April 4th—also known each year as “404 Day”—the world’s favorite portable sampler expands with powerful features that blur the lines between production and DJing. In collaboration with iconic audio software company Serato, the free Version 5 update provides built-in integration for Serato DJ Lite, Serato DJ Pro,* and Serato Studio, transforming the hardware into a pre-mapped controller ready for new directions in DJ sets, beatmaking, and song creation. The SP-404MKII connects directly with no drivers needed, merging its legendary hands-on workflow with the premier software tools in DJ and beat culture.

Further commemorating the SP-404’s 20th anniversary, Roland will take over several global events the week of 404 Day in many of the world’s most culturally vibrant cities that served as major creative hubs during the rise of 404 beat culture. The lineup spans five continents, with celebrations in Los Angeles, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Boston, Portland, Sacramento, Tokyo, Osaka, Kumamoto, Yokohama, Mumbai, Berlin, Rome, São Paulo, Melbourne, and more.

These 404 Day parties will showcase live performances, beat battles, artist panels, exclusive 404 Day merchandise giveaways, and more, bringing together the artists, DJs, producers, and beatmaker communities who have built careers and shaped movements around the SP-404.

Attendees of these in-person parties can also join 404 Day gear raffles for portable creative tools that pair perfectly with the SP-404MKII—like the AIRA Compact S-1 and J-6—plus Serato licenses, Roland Cloud access, and Melodics subscriptions.

Continuing in-person celebrations, several Roland Stores around the world will be hosting 404 Day events, including the Roland Store London and the Roland Store Tokyo. Activations include the launch of SP-404 1-2-1 in-store workshops, SP-404MKII demonstrations with the new Version 5 update, live performances, and more.

Z&H Designs invited us to test one of their takes on a classic studio processor: their 1178 Stereo Peak Limiter is clearly inspired by one of the less‑well‑known 1176‑style FET compressors, the UREI 1178. Intriguingly, for this particular model, Z&H claim to have exclusive access to the remaining stocks of some discontinued components used in the original UREI 1178, including the NPD5566 FET transistor, which they say makes it possible to build a faithful recreation of the original signal path.
