MusicRadar Tech & Hammer: Building House Beats from Hardware Heaven

Ever wondered what happens when you lock a hardware-obsessed house producer in a studio full of classic gear? MusicRadar Tech teams up with DJ Hammer, and the result is a gritty, hands-on session that’s all groove, no fluff. Hammer’s workflow is like a late-night diner—messy, fast, and full of flavor. He’s got the TR-808, SH-101, and CS1x lined up like a beatmaker’s dream team, and he’s not afraid to get his hands dirty. If you want to see how real house tracks get cooked up—warts, weirdness, and all—this video is your ticket to the kitchen.

Scott's Synth Stuff

Scott’s Synth Stuff Throws Down: The New Bee SK17 – Budget FX Pedal or Secret Synth Weapon?

Ever wondered if a $55 pedal could turn your dry mono synth into a rave bunker beast? Scott’s Synth Stuff dives headfirst into the New Bee SK17, a pint-sized multi-effects pedal that claims to do it all—modulation, delays, reverbs, amp sims, and even USB audio. Scott’s no-nonsense style means you get the real dirt: what slaps, what flops, and whether this box is just for guitarists or a legit synth sidekick. If you’re tired of plastic promises and want to know if cheap gear can punch above its weight, this one’s for you. Spoiler: the SH-101 gets a serious glow-up.
