Venus Theory has released auras:altis, a free cinematic synth library for Decent Sampler. There’s a lot to like about Altis before you even hear it: the collaboration between Venus Theory and Jason Graves is rooted in the sound of the Novation Summit, a highly expressive and, in my opinion, underrated synth.

If you’re not yet familiar with Auras, I suggest going through previous releases like Volts, Veils, and Polyscape; they are epic. If the…

Berlin duo twocolors have always balanced precision with emotion, but their latest release, “Head Above Water,” pushes that balance further. Reuniting with Danish percussion pioneers Safri Duo and vocalist Chris de Sarandy, the track swaps obvious peaks for careful detail, threading vulnerability into a festival-ready arrangement. While the production hits with impact, it’s the subtle shifts and atmospheric motion that give it lasting weight. In this interview, twocolors walk through how they used Native Instruments tools like Reaktor to build momentum without cluttering the mix. From vocal-based granular pads to quiet movement hiding beneath the chorus, they reveal how controlled…
