Moog Soundlab Series Returnsnext door to Moog Music’s factory in downtown Asheville, North Carolina, is another institution in electronic music—one that has been at the center of artist collaboration, new music discovery, and synthesis education for more than a decade. 

Designed to be an immersive and inviting experience for creatives, the Moog Sound Lab is home to a carefully curated collection of vintage and modern instruments. In Moog’s popular artist performance series that bears the same name, musicians use this space as a stage to reimagine and perform original songs using the vast selection of synthesizers and other electronic instruments. Over the years, this studio space and series has attracted artists such as CHVRCHES, Tegan & Sara, El-P (Run the Jewels), Toro Y Moi, Sylvan Esso, Moses Sumney, and Jack Antonoff.

After a break in Moog Sound Lab video production during the height of the pandemic and the studio’s redesign, the series returns with a new selection of synth-packed performances ready for release. First, Moog spotlights producers Andy Stott and Debit as they create a full song with a range of semi-modular synthesizers.

Watch: Andy Stott & Debit Perform with Moog Matriarch, Grandmother, DFAM & Mavis

While traveling through North America on tour last spring, electronic music producers Delia Beatriz (aka Debit) and Andy Stott spent some quality time at Moog Music’s factory and studio space in Asheville, North Carolina

Inside the Moog Sound Lab, the two joined forces to compose and perform an original track infused with elements of each artist’s unique musical style, ranging from hard techno and post-punk to dream pop and Latin club music.

Get a behind-the-scenes look at how Andy Stott and Debit use Matriarch, Grandmother, DFAM, and Mavis in their creative process, integrating this selection of flexible hardware instruments with Ableton for a seamless production flow.

Watch Andy Stott & Debit’s Moog Sound Lab performance here.

What’s New in the Moog Sound Lab: Analog Hardware & More

In early 2020, the team at Moog Music embarked on a redesign of its memorable Sound Lab space, upgrading its library of instruments and integrating new professional recording gear thanks to partners like Rupert Neve Designs, Universal Audio, and Echo Fix. The full-featured single-room performance studio has expanded into a multi-room creative suite to accommodate a greater variety of events and experiences for both visiting artists and Moog employees.

Moog has brought viewers inside this electronic music wonderland with its Moog Demo Library series, educational livestreams, and innovative instrument announcement videos. Now, the revitalized Moog Sound Lab with its mix of vintage and modern electronic instruments—everything from the Minimoog Voyager and Sonic Six to Subharmonicon and Matriarch—is ready for artists to explore on site and fans to discover through exclusive videos. 

As Moog continues to roll out new performances like the latest by Andy Stott and Debit, the Moog Sound Lab series promises to continue to feature diverse genres and styles, pushing the boundaries of sonic exploration to inspire the global creative community.

UMe Announces 80,000 Collectible Metro Cards Honoring Hip-Hop 50Universal Music Enterprises (UMe) launches a hip-hop music collaboration with The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) in celebration of Hip Hop At 50 – Honoring 50 Years of Hip Hop: A Legacy of Rhythm, Revolution, and Soul. 

Together with the MTA, UMe have created 80,000 “Metro Cards” available in subway vending locations across New York City. These collectibles feature four generational East Coast hip-hop icons, namely Cam’Ron, LL COOL J, Rakim, and Pop Smoke.

About the cards, Rakim commented, "From standing on top of the Empire State Building to grabbing a slice at the corner pizza shop, NYC creates iconic moments that are recognized around the world. But it doesn't get closer to real city life than swiping a metro card and standing clear of the closing doors. It's an honor to be celebrating the 50th Anniversary on the streets... and now below them... of the city where hip-hop was born."

LL COOL J added, “When I first started in Hip-Hop, we were using tokens and then in the 90's the MetroCard came out. And through the pandemic I remember riding the subway anonymously by myself. Now in 2023 I have my own limited-edition MetroCard in celebration of the 50th anniversary of Hip-Hop. This is a beautiful full circle moment. Hip-Hop is amazing!” 

The LL COOL J cards are coinciding with the second year of The Rock The Bells festival in Forest Hills, Queens. Rock The Bells is dedicated to the ongoing preservation and illumination of the culture that Hip Hop has made global. This metro card project celebrates 4 watershed moments in New York hip hop and represents the ever-changing bedrock of the culture, this is a symbol to the next generation that ideas and self-expression matters, and putting a positive and uplifting message into the world can make you a super star.

Cards can be found across New York City. The LL COOL J cards can be found in Forest Hills at the 71st Ave metro stop in CTR areas N333, N333A, and N333B. In collaboration with the Shoot For The Stars Foundation, the Pop Smoke cards appear at the Canarsie-Rockaway Pkwy stop in CTR area R634, in addition to the New Lots Ave stop in CTR area H041. Vending machines with the Cam’Ron and Rakim cards will be revealed soon. As part of this initiative, hip-hop quite literally courses through the nervous system of New York City, adorning these subway locales.

As part of Hip Hop At 50 – Honoring 50 Years of Hip Hop: A Legacy of Rhythm, Revolution, and Soul, one of the culture’s most influential artists Eric Haze developed a very special logo for Hip Hop 50 as chronicled by All Access, uDiscoverMusic, and more.

UMe just released a new “Best Hip Hop Hits – HIP HOP 50 Edition” Spotify playlist.
