    This podcast is great. They usually get really interesting guests with a variety of styles and approaches to using gear. The hosts are quick witted and the rules and accompanying jingles are perfect. Here’s hoping they make a bunch more episodes in 2026!

  • Best Podcast for anybody into Electronic Music

    I have been pleasantly surprised to find this my favourite show of all podcasts. The format is amazing for not only finding out about gear choices but techniques of all the artists. There is nothing better than settling into a new episode and learning about their history, what gear they love and how they put together their music. So inspirational for when I create my own my own music. I have also bought gear based on the recommendations.

  • The best

    This has become my favourite podcast, its fun to hear what musicians and producers from different backgrounds choose as their essential gear. Always a good time. It appeals to our love of gear while also having us think about consumerism in the music industry. I’m hoping for more seasons! Thanks guys!

Ep 87: Caesar Edmunds already has a Forever Studio
Q: What would you advise our listeners to try it on? Even the software version, what's your go-to?
Edmunds recommends trying the LA-2A on vocals, guitars and other sources, including drum buses. He says its slower action can smooth material and add sheen without sounding as dramatic as it appears.
Ep 87: Caesar Edmunds already has a Forever Studio
Q: Did you ever imagine you'd be in London doing this thing? Was there ever a plan for the UK? I mean, what's the journey from Singapore?
Edmunds says there was no clear plan. After national service as a police officer in Singapore, he applied to study at Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts, then pursued work experience with Alan Moulder and returned to Battery Studios after graduating.
Ep 86: Kaelin Ellis is guided by video games
Q: Let's first talk about a location for The Forever Studio. If you could build a fantasy forever studio anywhere in the world, tell us where, why, and what the vibe would be like, what the building would be like, what the room would be like.
Kaelin chooses Taos, New Mexico, describing it as quiet, inspiring, and mountainous with spaceships-like viewing platforms; he envisions a glass-encased, earthy-toned space that overlooks a vast horizon and fosters creativity away from noise.
Ep 73: Will Clarke won’t spend 7 years making a track
Q: What can you tell us about that experience and how it shaped your views on music production?
Will shares insights about the role of creativity over technical perfection while producing music.
