Next-gen: Home Studios

Over the past decade, advancements in technology have made it easier than ever for musicians to produce high-quality music from the comfort of their own homes. Today, home-produced music has become a major force in the music industry, with countless artists using DIY production methods to create music that's just as innovative and engaging as anything produced in a professional studio.

One of the biggest benefits of home-produced music is the creative control it allows artists. Without the constraints of a recording studio, musicians can experiment with different sounds and techniques and create music that's truly unique to their vision. This has led to a proliferation of genre-bending music that defies easy categorization, with artists blending elements of electronic, hip-hop, rock, and other styles to create something entirely new.

Another advantage of home-produced music is the ability to collaborate with other artists from around the world. With the rise of cloud-based collaboration tools, musicians can work together on tracks regardless of their geographic location, resulting in collaborations between artists who might never have met in person otherwise.

However, home-produced music also has its challenges. Without the guidance of a professional producer or engineer, musicians can sometimes struggle with issues like mixing and mastering, and may not have access to the same high-quality equipment and software that a professional studio provides.

Despite these challenges, home-produced music continues to thrive, with artists pushing the boundaries of what's possible in DIY production and creating some of our most exciting and innovative music. From viral TikTok hits to critically acclaimed albums, the impact of home-produced music on the industry and the cultural zeitgeist cannot be ignored.

As technology continues to advance and new tools and platforms emerge, the possibilities for home-produced music are only expanding. It's an exciting time for musicians and fans alike, as the democratization of music production allows for a more diverse and creative landscape than ever before.

Rivals EP by Tommy Lefroy

Tommy Lefroy is an up-and-coming duo hailing from the United Kingdom, made up of Canadian singer-songwriter Tessa Mouzourakis and American singer-songwriter Wynter Bethel. They recently released their highly anticipated sophomore EP, Rivals, following the success of their debut EP, Flight Risk, in 2021. The new EP features six dynamic tracks, most of which were self-produced by the duo, with the opening track "Dog Eat Dog" co-produced by Andy Seltzer. The EP's title, Rivals, is a clever satire on society's tendency to pit women against each other. The lyrics of the EP draw inspiration from this theme, with "Dog Eat Dog" addressing external pressures and the defensive behaviour can lead to, while "The Mess" embraces the idea of being imperfect and not conforming to societal expectations. "Worst Case Kid" takes a darker turn, exploring dysphoric thoughts and the allure of unhealthy relationships. Musically, Rivals showcases the duo's ge...

Radical Romantics by Fever Ray

Karin Dreijer, known as Fever Ray, is an iconic artist of the 21st century, known for their groundbreaking and original contributions to visual media, opera, and live performances that blur the lines of identity and anonymity.
