  • Hit the Decks! It's French Producer NoizinskiFrench producer Noizinski started producing in 2012 when he saw his older brother making music with FL Studio 10 on the family computer. "I had no idea it was possible to create music so easily with just one program on a computer," he says. "It was a revelation. I was 13, and I had just found the medium that fit me perfectly. From 2012 to 2016, I experimented and learned a lot, sharing my progress on SoundCloud. Then in 2017, I released my first single on streaming platforms with my first label, 'Tradekraft Collective.' The single is called Wolbretten. Even if it might sound a bit German, it’s a name I completely invented. It was an idea I had for my singles, but right from the first one I realized it would be hard for listeners to remember the title, so I quickly abandoned the idea."The artist describes his sound as, "a mix of Techno, Bass House, Mid-tempo and probably other styles. Some people call it 'Dark clubbing.' It’s dark, with heavy bass and strong rhythms, but also with a touch of melancholy when I use melodies. That contrast is what really defines my style."Noizinski's latest release is the Outer Consequences EP."Outer Consequences is my latest EP, and my most refined work so far. It’s really the project that represents me best," he says. "It continues from my previous EP, Inner Conflict, which is why the artwork looks similar, almost like the two covers were taken just minutes apart. I wanted to make a follow-up that continues the story, but with more energy and rhythm. This new EP shows the result of that inner conflict. Each track is like a different step or change in the mind."As for gear: "I mostly work just with my DAW, which is FL Studio," he says. "I mainly use its native plugins, but for creating almost all my sounds I use Phaseplant by Kilohearts. I really love it. It was a bit tricky to fully understand at first and it’s less straightforward than other synths, but the possibilities are endless and it’s so fun to experiment. As for gear, I only have Beyerdynamic DT-770 headphones, an old Focusrite sound card, a microphone from Thomann, and a ZOOM H1N stereo recorder for sampling."Looking ahead, Noizinski has plenty planned for the rest of 2025."I can’t say much for now but I’m planning to release a new EP before the end of the year, and it will be quite different from Outer Consequences," he says. "It’s more minimal, more raw, more personal. Not really made for dancing, but more for listening alone, maybe while driving, when you just think and nod your head. It’s still my style, but in another way. Fewer layers, more space for each sound. I hope to release it before the end of the year!"

  • “A home for Bristol’s nightlife for years to come”: Iconic nightclub Motion is reopening in a new locationJust weeks after iconic Bristol music venue Motion closed its doors, owners have confirmed it’s set to reopen in a new location.
    “Motion is evolving,” organisers write in a new post on Instagram. “We’re moving to a new space, designed to be a home for Bristol’s nightlife for years to come.”

    Per Bristol Live, Motion’s new home will be located on Victoria Terrace, St. Phillips, roughly a 10-minute walk from the club’s previous home on Avon Street, near Bristol Temple Meads.
    Motion permanently closed its doors on July 20, 2025, 19 years after it first opened. Organisers battled with the venue’s landlord in order to secure a lease extension, but admitted it was becoming “increasingly likely” it would close.
    “If Motion goes, Bristol loses more than just a venue. It loses a part of its soul,” organisers wrote at the time. “Watching spaces like this disappear, knowing more could have been done to protect them, is gutting. It’s happening in every major city, and it’s happening here. We’re fighting it with everything we’ve got, but we need the powers that be to step up too.”
    While a lease extension on Avon Street was not to be, Motion owners are now moving forward with reopening in the new location, and are kicking things off with a new party concept, Momentum, which will “champion local artists and independent brands”.
    “This is our way of letting the new venue grow organically, just like the early days of Motion.
    A space for the city’s underground to connect, discover and shape its own future,” they write.
    What is Momentum? “A creative lab in our new home, where we test ideas and shape the future of Bristol’s nightlife together.”
    Organisers are encouraging artists, brands and collaborators to get involved by emailing info@motion-bristol.com.

  • Win over $12k worth of production gear by remixing Madonna’s Ray of Light in Beatport’s Global Remix ChallengeMore than $12,000 worth of production hardware and software is on the line in Beatport’s new Ray of Light Global Remix Challenge. The competition, created in partnership with Warner Music Group and Madonna herself, invites producers around the world to reimagine the pop icon’s 1998 electronic classic.

    From now to 25 September, participants can download the official stems from Madonna and producer William Orbit’s original session and submit their rework through Beatport’s LabelRadar platform. Winners will be announced on 15 October via Beatportal.
    As mentioned, the grand prize package is an enviable one worth over $12,000, and features top-shelf studio gear and software, including Lewitt’s Pure Tube microphone, IK Multimedia’s iLoud Micro Monitor Pro, Beyerdynamic DT 1990 PRO MKII headphones, Minimal Audio’s full ‘Everything Minimal’ software bundle, UVI’s SonicBundle, and more. The winner will also receive a signed Ray of Light vinyl from Madonna herself.
    Runners-up won’t go empty handed either. The second-place prize features UVI’s Vintage Vault 4, Lewitt’s Ray microphone, and a stack of software bundles and subscriptions, while third place nets UVI’s Falcon Version 3, Lewitt’s Connect 2 audio interface, and other premium software tools.
    The contest also lands alongside the long-delayed release of Veronica Electronica, a shelved 1988 companion project to Ray of Light featuring club remixes by Orbit, Sasha, BT, Victor Calderone, and the late Peter Rauhofer. The original album, which sold over 16 million copies and earned Madonna four Grammys including Best Dance Recording, marked her shift from pop into electronic territory with Orbit at the helm.
    “My appreciation for the art of remixing has been passionate since I started making music,” says Madonna in a press statement. “The ability to propel boundaries and do the unexpected is something I can relate to as an artist. I look forward to hearing everyone’s interpretation – don’t hold back.”
    Here’s how you can enter:

  • Lightning Talks On Time, With This DeviceAsk a Hackaday scribe who’s helped run the lightning talks at one of our events, and they’ll tell you that keeping the speakers on time is a challenge. Conversely if the staffer is trying to indicate to the speaker how much time they have left, it must be difficult from the podium to keep track while delivering your talk. Fortunately there’s [makeTVee] waiting in the wings with a solution, a cube whose faces each have a custom 5×7 LED matrix on them. The countdown is clear and unambiguous, and should provide no distractions.
    The brains behind it all is a XIAO nRF52840 Sense board using the Zephyr RTOS, the LEDs are WS2812s on their own PCBs, and the party piece is only revealed at the end of the countdown. A tilt mechanism triggered by a servo releases a ball bearing down a track, where it hits a telephone bell and provides a very audible reminder to the speaker. The result saw action during the lightning talks at the Hackaday Europe event earlier in the year, but it’s taken a while for the write-up to make it online.
