There's a chill in the air lately, and that can only mean one thing... Dark M**o is almost here!

That's right, Dark M**o, Tasmania's annual celebration of the winter season and all its whimsy and weirdness is only two weeks away! Which festivities are you most keen to check out? It's Chat Pile, Power Trip, and Purity Ring for me, I can't wait!

Did you know that our team is heavily involved in making this incredible festival happen? Well, now you do! Our in-house Hire Department works tirelessly both in the lead-up to the festival and throughout its whole duration to ensure every event runs smoothly and every artist has access to all the gear and equipment they need.

Unfortunately, due to the overwhelming demand of a season like this, in order to support the festival to the best of our ability, we have to operate a little differently for a few weeks. That means that from June 3rd through to June 23rd, we will not be accepting self-serve bookings via our Hire website.

If you need something from our Hire Department during this time, simply shoot them an email at [email protected]. While we will do our best to facilitate your needs, due to the ever-shifting nature of the festival and all its demands, we cannot guarantee the availability of either staff or equipment during this period.

We thank you for your understanding and hope you enjoy the festival as much as we will!

Remember Godzilla? He's back, in pedal form!

Don't be alarmed! This is not the real Godzilla, we are not in danger, this is just the latest pedal innovation from our friends over at Fender, the Godzilla Distortion pedal. The only danger here is the very real danger that one of us will buy this monster of a pedal for our own rigs! But who amongst us can tame the King of Monsters himself?

The Godzilla Distortion is available now at Modern Musician, check it out via the link in the comments and grab this legend today before he disappears back into the sea!

Introducing Komplete 26, the latest iteration of the iconic Komplete product range from software instrument and effects pioneers Native Instruments.

For the uninitiated, the Komplete range takes Native Instruments' most exciting music production innovations and brings them together to create a series of tiered bundles, giving you access to an enormous range of their products at significantly reduced prices.

The tiers are simple:

- SELECT, the 'gateway' version of Komplete, gives you all the basics, with the option to choose between three editions based on stylistic preferences that dictate what's included; Beats (for beatmakers), Electronic (for techno, house, trance and everything electronica), and Band (for those looking for a more traditional rock setup).

- STANDARD, the original and essential comprehensive music production bundle, featuring all the core plugins, sounds, and effects you need to produce like the pros.

- ULTIMATE, for music production specialists, ups the ante on what's included in the Standard edition by adding an assortment of extra synths, sampled instruments, and effects designed to give you an extra edge.

- and finally, COLLECTORS EDITION, ie 'the one for the fanatics'. The Collectors Edition is the the most comprehensive and most complete version of Komplete. You will never run out of options, no matter where your experimentations take you, as the Collectors Edition contains almost everything Native Instruments has ever released, all built with the composer, sound designer and producer in mind. This is the one I'm getting - certified NI fanatic over here.

From breakbeat to orchestral, K-pop to surf rock, Komplete 26 gives you uninterrupted access to one of the most expansive collections of sound in music production. Whether you’re building a niche or chasing a sudden change in direction, Komplete gives you the tools to follow your ideas wherever they lead.

Komplete 26 - Everything. For your thing.

Head on over to our website via the link in the comments and check out the full range of options, upgrades, crossgrades and udpates we've got available and Komplete your music production setup today!
