Rankin Audio is creating some pretty nifty short cuts for you via the brands custom made Ableton Master Rack.

If you’re looking for a well priced solution to help you achieve a pro sounding track, High Rankin has created a simple, effective and understandable plug in with 3 FX Racks for Ableton with complex chains and routing to help you with your final mix.

The strips include
- a single channel strip for basic use
- a group strip for any busses
- a master channel strip.

Utilising the Albeton FX, Rankin has constructed complex yet extremely easy to use racks that can be dropped in and then tweaked to order.

Each has 8 macros to make life super easy and of course if you are a more advance user, you can dive deep into the chain itself. We believe this tool is very useful for beginners because on purchase, you are given a PDF doc explaining the different processes used to give any producer a clearer idea of whats happening in the chain.

At a small £9.95 we approve this small investment. You can purchase here on Loopmasters!

Leaderboy are continuing their rise in the Australian dance music scene through their new single titled ‘Moneycat’.

After receiving regular Triple J national air play for their track ‘Wicked in this neighbourhood‘, the anonymous outfit have made a track that is essentially a beat made out of other beats, “synched to the tempo of a moneycat arm.” Visualise the waving of the money cats arms and it’s almost instinctive that you wave side to side on your seat and also keep an ear out for the sneaky MJ sample.

 ”This is what Nu Disco used to sound like.”

The Swiss are now officially back and back with a *real fist pump*, delivering a massive EP that instills some hope into the sometimes flailing Nu Disco genre. After teasing us with the bouncy “Connect”, this EP comes in hot with the feature Elouisa: a simple, catchy dance tune about a simple girl who just wants to dance. That will in turn make you dance.

Featuring remixes from the renowned Late Nite Tuff Guy) and Villa, both Elouisa and the B-Side are welcome. Out now on Kitsune, this is real disco meant for real dance floors and real DJs.

Late Nite Tuff Guy’s Dub (comes with package), is, as always, simply phenomenal. It’s further proof that the former Godfather of Australian Techno is one of, if not the best disco producer alive. Not bad for a side project:

If you weren’t envious of those heading to Holy Ship next year, you will now with a ‘tour’ of the MSC Divina.

An upgraded vessel from last year, the MSC Divini is most definitely the ship you want to be sailing when it comes to get down to the ridiculous Holy Ship lineup that boasts among others Skrillex, Baauer, Diplo, Boys Noize, Disclosure and our own Australian exports, Flume and Light Year.

The ship itself looks to cater for everyone with expansive decks, dark clubby rooms, indoor pools, beautiful bedrooms and a whole lot more.

Holy Ship 2014 is sold out but you can get yourself onto the waiting list for a slim chance at a ticket.

ps how great is the Destructo b-side ’2112′?!

Out today is Route 94‘s Fly 4 Life EP for the self-titled label’s debut release.

ROUTE001 marks a 4-track deep house offering from the British producer – really summery, funky vibes saturate the tunes with that underlying bassline that himself and so many other great producers have become familiar with. I caught Route 94 play live a few weeks ago, and I still can’t figure out why he only has 21 Facebook likes?

Give him some Facebook love here and buy the release on Beatport here!

As some of you might know, oOoOO announced his debut album back in April—which follows on from two well-received EPs released via Tri Angle earlier on. Now, Without Your Love has been made available to stream online, which will be coming out June 24 on the San Francisco producer’s brand-new Nihjgt Feelings label. Jam packed full of downcast, synth-laden, down-tempo electronica, you can listen to it here via Pitchfork Advance.

Gesaffelstein has released a music video for ‘Pursuit’, his latest single out today on OWSLA.

It really shows dance music is big business when a producer from a relatively harder genre of music can put together what looks to be a big budget music video.

Although it probably didn’t cost as much as Deadmau5′s million dollar clip it certainly resonates a high tier of production, which some could say reflects the premium nature of techno music.

The clip itself bangs along with babes, a rave-room and an armed fighter jet and will surely put some led in your pencil.

“It is a high energy extra gritty bass monster that could technically be labelled as glitch hop.”

Melbourne-based Nick Thayer will today release his Worlds Collide EP on Skrillex’s OWSLA imprint. (how many releases are on OWSLA lately?!) The 8-track release can indeed be labelled glitch, with mid-tempo madness covering its entirety in classic Thayer style. Check it out below via TSIS before it’s official release in a few hours.

Since words don’t even begin to illustrate the amount of fun (for lack of a better word) the Dim Mak crew had during their weeklong stay in Miami, we have decided to show you so you can see with your own eyes the experience sentences simply can not describe.

Part 1 features a sold out “Steve Aoki & Friends: Up All Night” party where sleep was not an option. “You need sleep? You’re in Miami Bitch”

Part 2 sees things get wet and, well, weird as Aoki hosts a highly anticipated Dim Mak Records Pool Party. Afterwards, they take the festivities out on a yacht and catch a freestyle by Will Brennan.

Part 3 brings the grand Miami “invasion” full circle back to the yacht where they are visited by a thing called the Xtreme Fly Board (think scientifically engineered mermen) where the guys soar above the water and ride a jet-ski around the bay. Alas, the real highlight of the time in Miami is undoubtedly Steve’s second weekend performance at Ultra!

Marquee Las Vegas has been a staple on the strip throughout the rise of EDM. Perfecting the day party, and revolutionizing the nightclub, they host a constant stream of larger than life names. This summer is no different as they sit in the center of it all with a massive lineup at based around the famed Electric Daisy Carnival. With Insomniac literally taking over the town this week, Pasqualle’s camp has a plethora of club events, a dance music conference, and of course the festival massive.

If your trying to get some sun before the big show make sure to stop by Marquee Day Club as one of our favorite picks. With a 5 day setup of headliners only, is sure to be rocking. Check out the week lineup below and grab your tickets. This will sell out every day.

Over the past five years Foamo has carved himself out a powerful niche in UK club music, with his takes on house drawing strong influence from growing up with drum & bass, garage and grime. On this EP the presence of those styles is as tangible as ever – sub-bass is hard, punchy and optimised to rattle through the chest; drums are swung to a lean garage flex – and they’re put to the service of some of the most multi-faceted music he’s produced to date. All four tracks find Foamo crafting house music that engages with the genre’s wider context, while remaining steeped in the immediacy and rudeness of the UK’s homegrown garage sounds.
