We are joined by Rich Hilton who is literally fresh off stage from his Chic gig in China and back in his hotel, the internet holds out. Also new this week is Andy Hunter, a DJ and collaborator with Robbie on Sushi Friday Music. We start with a new purchase by Gaz - the Belking Thunderbolt port replicator, then the article on Forbes about how earbuds have changed the way we mix - do the panel agree? Then The Keith Emerson Moog Modular announced at Moogfest, TapeOp magazine on what makes a good engineer, and the Synthetic Things- and their ode to Moogfest. And finally PhonoPaper iOS musical barcode app.
