It's end of summer and we're going party like we just don't care. "Team Renoise and Team Indamixx is gunna BANG THE BOX in 2011 and it's gunna start right here in Los Angeles by the way of BERLIN!" That's right, we're having a pool party at "The Standard Downtown" Los Angeles next Sunday, 24th. The party starts at 1 PM.

Trackers have always been about getting the most out of little. Big productions from tiny bed rooms. Epic songs in kilobytes rather than megabytes. And most importantly, all that through your personal computer instead of a multi-million dollar studio.

Lately we've been spoiled with elaborate plugins, unlimited channels and an ever more powerful growing CPU. At the cost of the true ninja tracker spirit.
