    Our Artist of the Week this week is @nathalieking_ Our Artist of the Week this week is @nathalieking_! Born to a French/Vietnamese mother and a German father, singer-songwriter Nathalie King's music is noted for its cinematic electro pop and trip hop style, while her sound expresses deeply rooted themes like mental health and emotional life experiences. The Toronto-based artist is known for her sultry smooth low voice reminiscent of the true artists of the vintage jazz era. King released her new experimental electro EP PTSD at the end of 2024. She previously released two singles in 2016; “Break Away”, which landed a placement in a S’well water bottle commercial, and “Ghost Rider”, which was featured in an episode of ABC’s “The Fosters”. Recent sync placements include her song “Beautiful Soul” in the underwater documentary "Soul of the Ocean" (2023), distributed on PBS and European TV. In 2016 King was a semi-finalist at the International Songwriting Competition, and semi-finalist at IndieWeek 2016. King has joined forces with producer Steve Everitt to form “Out Here”, a band focusing on alternative electro pop with spiritual and natural elements, and they will be performing later this month at Glastonbury. Outside of her own musical work, King also does voice work for Canadian commercials and NBC TV, and writes and sings tracks for Universal Production Music UK and sync library Molecular Sound UK for TV and film placements. Nathalie uses a @uaudio Apollo Twin for her recordings in her studio in Toronto. For more on Nathalie, check the links in our bio!

    Exciting news - today @rupert_neve have announced Exciting news - today @rupert_neve have announced a cut-down version of the massively popular RNDI - the RNDI-M! And it's a fantastic price - $289🇨🇦! The RNDI-M Active Transformer Direct Interface brings the tone & clarity of the Rupert Neve DI range to a more compact and pedalboard-friendly format. It features the same custom Rupert Neve Designs transformer and discrete FET input stage as the RNDI, RNDI-S, and RNDI-8. By streamlining its feature set and housing the electronics in a rugged & more compact chassis, the RNDI-M fits neatly into any space and will allow even more musicians and engineers to tap into the sonic power & vibrancy of a Rupert Neve Designs DI. The RNDI-M provides instrument direct injection for electric guitar & basses, synthesizers, keyboards, piezo pickups, or any other instrument-level source. The discrete, Class-A circuit topology is built around Rupert Neve Designs custom transformers, resulting in outstanding sonic performance and strikingly natural sound from below 5Hz all the way up to well beyond 90kHz. It can handle input levels up to +20.5dBu, the low impedance, transformer-coupled output stage drives long lines with minimal loss, and the rugged steel chassis is designed for a lifetime of stage and studio use.

The OX is perfect for creating various different cabinet tones in combination with your favourite tube amp, in the studio and at home. It's perfect on-stage, especially for bands using in-ear monitors - all the amp tone, with no cabinet bleed into other vocal and drum mics. Or plug-in a pair of great headphones (may we suggest the brand new @adam_audio H200 headphones?) to hear the sound of your rig without annoying family members or neighbours!
    One of our favourite pieces of gear from the last One of our favourite pieces of gear from the last few years - the @rupert_neve Master Bus Transformer! @soundonsoundmag said the following in their review (link in bio!): "Obviously, signal coloration is a matter of taste, but if your production direction and technique involve adding copious amounts of harmonic distortion to your subgroups, stems or mixes, the MBT is definitely going to appeal. Special mention also goes to the Width function, which does broadly what M‑S based stereo widening can do but in a slightly more exciting fashion, especially when processing heavier tracks. I’d urge anyone who has both the need for bus or mastering colour and the budget available to audition an MBT at the earliest opportunity".
