Whadayaknow, Ableton users?

Whether you’re an existing user or considering it for the first time, this month online school Dubspot is giving away 30 video lessons on using the software, free, through the end of June only.

One of the great things about doing this podcast is that there is always more fantastic ambient music to share with you. In particular I have a brand new unreleased track from Steve Brand as well as a favorite from Still Stream's artist of the month Palancar. Happy dreaming
