Hey everyone – happy Sunday!
Time for the September newsletter and there’s quite a bit to share – some good news, and a bit of a shipping hiccup too, so let’s start with that:
⚠️ USA Shipping Temporarily Paused
Unfortunately, I’ve had to pause all shipments to the USA for now. Like many indie artists and small businesses, I’ve been affected by the recent executive order “Suspending Duty-Free De Minimis Treatment For All Countries.”
As a result, DHL (the only carrier available in my region) has currently stopped delivering to the US.
I’ll keep you posted as soon as things change, fingers crossed it won’t be long!
🌌 Outland Recordings x MS III: Midnight (Work in Progress)
Now for some exciting news! I’ve been in early talks with Outland Recordings for a potential collaboration next year – especially around the release of Moving Spaces III: Midnight.
We’re discussing the possibility of Outland handling distribution and international shipping for the upcoming Kickstarter. That would make the whole process much smoother, especially after the solo vinyl packing marathon I went through last time! 😂
Nothing’s signed yet, but things are moving in the right direction. Once I have more headspace (and time!), I’ll pick this back up and keep you posted.
🎛️ My New Mixing Course Launches Sept 19
The other big thing I’ve been working on?
A brand new online mixing course and this time, it’s the 2.0 version: beginner-friendly, practical, fun, and miles better than the one I released a few years ago!
🚀 Launch Date: 19th September
💸 Pre-launch Deal: Just $59 while it’s still in pre-launch
💡 What’s inside? Practical mixing lessons, downloadable stems, cheat sheets, and more!
If you’ve ever wanted to learn how to mix your own music, you can sign up for updates here:
👉 Register Here!
I’ll email you the full course page when it goes live on the 19th!
🥂 No Stream on Launch Day – I’ll Be at the Pub!
Since I’m celebrating the launch with friends on the 19th (yes, there will be cocktails 🍹 & burgers), there won’t be a Twitch stream that night.
But don’t worry! The next stream is scheduled for 3rd October, where we’ll dive into Chapter 4 of the vampire point & click novel, Cabernet. Don’t miss it, my nihilism points are sky-rocket high! 😂
🎶 Mixing Work for Other Artists
This year I’ve also had the pleasure of mixing tracks for some amazing artists. Go check them out!
Thanks for reading and being part of this journey 💜
Hope you’re doing well and I’ll see you again on October 3rd! ^_^

Great news – Have a great evening at the pub with good company, drinks and burgers 🙂
For someone who always wanted to do remixes of songs – what basic instruments would be good to have – and which “starter” programs?!
basic gear: headphones + midi keyboard + software (I think Reaper is cheapest from all the options?)
