Mojave'S MA-37 RECOGNIZED AT NAMM TECH AWARDSMojave Audio was recognized for their outstanding Technical Excellence and Creativity during the 38th Annual NAMM TEC Experience, held last Thursday night at the Anaheim Convention Center in California. Mojave’s MA-37 captured a TEC Award in the category of Microphones-Recording.

Started in 1985 by MIX Magazine, the TEC Awards are widely regarded as the highest honor dedicated to the pro audio and sound recording industry, recognizing outstanding performance by the individuals, companies and technical innovations behind the sound of recordings, live performances, films, television, video games and multimedia.

Mojave’s MA-37, winner of the Microphone-Recording category, is a modern take on the iconic Sony C-37a – a workhorse from the Golden Age of Hollywood recording. The MA-37 is a high headroom large-diaphragm tube condenser that updates the original design with modern components and workmanship for a rich, natural sound that imparts a smooth musicality on any instrument or voice. As with all Mojave Audio microphones, the MA-37 is hand-built with the same detailed craftsmanship that have made them essential in studios around the world.  

"This is Mojave’s fourth TEC Award nomination and we are honored to have been recognized this year by NAMM for the MA-37," commented Dusty Wakeman, President of Mojave. "We’re privileged to work alongside the creative genius David Royer and we’d like to thank our families and loyal customers for their continued support.”

GELD Sign To Relapse RecordsOn Currency // Castration, Australia’s Geld render the dissociation and alienation of modern living with exacting precision. The album unfurls like a series of infinite reflections breaking down into fractal chaos—it becomes increasingly unclear whether one’s suffering comes from the outside world, or from the confines of one’s own skull

On Geld’s third LP—and first with Relapse Records— their miasmic excess gets a facelift. The result is a stripped bare, streamlined take upon hardcore in its purest form, reconstituted into a heavy, psychedelic dose of amphetamine thrills.

Sarah Kinsley Signs to Verve Forecast and Decca Records UKVerve Forecast and Decca Records UK announce the signing of singer/songwriter, Sarah Kinsley, as she simultaneously unveils the new single “Oh No Darling!”  Built on an undulating wall of harmonic sounds, her debut track blends soaring vocals, a haze of digital blips and blops, delightful guitar riffs and a screaming guitar solo.  Underneath it all is constant almost desperate foundation of driving beats that propel you toward an infinitely satisfying end - that begs you to instantly hit repeat. Listen to the shimmering pop track here.

On her recent signing Sarah comments “I’m excited to call Verve and Decca my partners for this next phase of my life as an artist. I've loved getting to know the teams and to feel their strong support towards me and my vision as a musician and creative.”

Solely created by Sarah in her NYC apartment the track belies her age – “Oh No Darling!” is refreshingly seasoned with a nod to the 80’s and a wink to the future. Steering the production on the charming alt-pop track Sarah helms the synths, midi drum programming, guitar, and strings. Watch the fancifully imagined video here.

Sarah’s recently announced North American tour dates go on sale today and include stops in Toronto, Montreal, and Philadelphia. Kicking off June 3rd at The Drake in Toronto, the whirlwind of limited and intimate dates closes with a much-envied spot at NYC’s Governors Ball on June 10th.  She will also perform this summer at the always legendary music festival Lollapalooza.
