YouTuber Taetro was inspired after binge watching the latest season of Stranger Things. My husband and I never binge watch TV, but we were hooked too and went through all 8 episodes in 3 days. If you like horror and 80's nostalgia you may also find yourself stuck in The Upside Down. The show is also a treat for music fans, with some very original scoring throughout the series. The Title Sequence became an instant classic.

Here is Taetro's take on a dark beat using ROLI Lightpad Blocks and the Noise app.

There have been a lot of beach-side jams posted to YouTube this week, but Funk Tree did my favorite of the bunch on his OP-Z with Roli Blocks.

Video Description:

Far away from crowded "7 Mile beach". The "Rum Point" is the right location for jams like this.. Glitches from OPZ and great sounds from Roli Blocks combined with Specular Tempus. All sounds from ROLI are from Noise App

MATRIXSYNTH spotted this surreal video from modularman. It starts off with some cheesy banjo, before becoming synthy and ominous. This is a really fun find! Note that the thumbnail is not Eric Idle in drag.

Video Description:

Don't let the banjo intro fool you, this turns into a full blown synth-fest pretty quickly! Features the Roland System 8, Dave Smith Instruments Tetra, Bebot, Yamaha MX 49, Roger Linn Adrenalinn III, and others.

YouTuber Johannes Eckert did an excellent little DJ practice set on a new DDJ-200. He's cramming a lot of modern DJing into just 6 minutes. If you pay close attention you can pick up some of the techniques he's using here with looping to build new song structures.
