Absolutely Kosher Announces Label Relaunch Celebrating 25th Anniversary

Independent record label Absolutely Kosher is returning after a 12-year absence to relaunch the label with a full slate of releases and initiatives for the 25th anniversary of its inception. The announcement is made in tandem with news from Charles Bissell, singer-writer-producer of the Wrens, that he will be releasing new music under the name Car Colors via Absolutely Kosher. This will be the first new music from Bissell in 20 years, since the release of The Wrens’ classic album The Meadowlands via Absolutely Kosher, in 2003. As discussions around an anniversary reissue of The Meadowlands broke down in late 2022 and the decision was made not to repress the record at this time, Bissell asked Absolutely Kosher founder Cory Brown to reopen the label and release his long-awaited new record. Brown, who shuttered the label in 2011 to pay his mounting debts in the wake of a disruption that saw the music industry lose more than $7.5B in a 5-year period [CNN], had spent the last twelve years doing exactly that and was finally reaching the end of this humbling slog. Following a week of trying to convince Bissell that there were many capable labels still in business who’d be excited to work with him, Bissell was able to convey that, at age 60, after all the rigmarole around the dissolution of his former band and the decade of actively working on his album, he simply wanted to work with someone he knew and trusted. Realizing the record would fall on the label’s 25th anniversary and armed with the validation of the artist most closely linked to the label, Brown soon stumbled into all sorts of serendipity, starting in the form of one Matt Reznick, a fan of both band and label who Brown met randomly in the hallway of their apartment building in 2021. Hearing of Bissell’s offer and Brown’s desire to not just come back for a single record but to engineer a full bells-and-whistles relaunch, Reznick, whose family had been victims of Bernie Madoff but whose inheritance still afforded him some modest privilege, offered to underwrite the effort.

Audiomovers launches Binaural Renderer plugin providing ability to hear how audio will sound on Apple Music while still in any DAWAudiomovers has today (5 October) launched its Binaural Renderer plugin, which provides creators with the ability to sample what their Dolby Atmos mixes will sound like on Apple Music whilst still working in their DAW.
This new tool should streamline a mixer’s workflow, offering additional features like Mute/Solo for every channel, and the ability to switch rendering profiles (e.g. media, movie).

Audio engineers can monitor their multichannel audio with the Binaural Renderer in any DAW, and listen live on built-in MacBook and iMac speakers or headphones. As Audiomovers explains, without the use of a plugin like this one, the process of checking the binaural rendering translation of a mix might involve attempting to export the mix from one DAW into another.
Oli Morgan, Mastering Engineer at Abbey Road Studios (Abbey Road Red, a subsidiary of Abbey Road Studios, acquired Audiomovers in 2021) says in a statement, “Audiomovers Binaural Renderer for Apple Music has immediately improved my workflow. Previously I had been forced to use various frustrating workarounds to emulate how a consumer hears Dolby Atmos content.
“It’s my job to make sure a release sounds the best it can, no matter where or how it is listened to. Apple Music is one of the major platforms for the consumption of Dolby Atmos content, so it’s imperative I’m on top of how my masters sound there. The Binaural Renderer plugin allows me to do that with accuracy and ease – my top priorities when adding anything to my workflow,” he concludes.
Audiomovers also clarifies that the Binaural Renderer is not made or endorsed by Apple itself. It works in Mac OS 12.6 and later, but Mac OS 13 is recommended for full experience. The plugin comes in VST 3, AAX and AU plugin formats and is available now.
The Binaural Renderer for Apple Music is available for $79.99, and you can purchase it directly via Audiomovers.

Pro-Ject unveils Dark Side Of The Moon turntable to celebrate Pink Floyd album’s 50th anniversaryAudiophile equipment manufacturer Pro-Ject has unveiled The Dark Side of the Moon Turntable to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Pink Floyd‘s iconic album and to pay homage to its album cover.

READ MORE: Pro-Ject teams up with Fred Perry and unveils its most fashionable record player yet

Set to release sometime in October, the unique turntable recreates the iconic album artwork of the 1973 album. The cover features a beam of white light split into its constituent colours, representing the album’s themes of exploration and transformation.
Pro-Ject’s homage to this is a limited-edition record player that features an LED-backlit rainbow, replicating the iconic album cover’s visuals. It incorporates high-end components, including an acrylic and black aluminium tonearm, a Pick it PRO Special Edition cartridge, and a precision belt drive offering two speeds.
Credit: Pro-Ject
There’s a 10 mm heavy glass triangle platter on which your record can be placed, which mimics the album cover’s triangular dispersive prism. Under this, a solid aluminium sub-platter supports the heavy glass structure for stability. Coming off this triangle platter is the aforementioned LED-backlit rainbow, where the turntable’s tonearm sits. This rainbow has a dimming function.
There’s also a pre-adjusted Pick it PRO Special Edition cartridge, a speed switch to flick between 33 and 45 rpm and gold-plated RCA connectors for high-quality sound. There’s a precision belt drive with electronic speed control and a semi-symmetrical phono cable.
In August, Pro-Ject also launched its T2 W turntable, an upgrade from 2019’s T1. It features WiFi connectivity instead of Bluetooth for 24bit/48kHz lossless wireless playback and, as with the Dark Side Of The Moon turntable, a “zero-resonance” glass platter.
No official shipping date has yet been announced by Pro-ject, but The Dark Side of the Moon Turntable will be available for £1,599 or €1,799, with stock arriving at UK Pro-Ject dealers this month.
