Touch Innovations inks exciting European distribution deal with Sonic Sales for killer Kontrol Master !

Following its successful launch soon after an award-winning showcase at The 2017 NAMM Show, January 19-22 in Anaheim, California, physical hardware touch technology and cutting-edge software specialist Touch Innovations is proud to announce that it has executed a distribution deal with German full-service MI distribution company Sonic Sales to handle availability of its killer Kontrol Master — a touch technology-driven desktop design that speeds up workflow with enhanced ergonomic control of unlimited DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) virtual faders and knobs (or, indeed, any other creative software) — which will be being distributed by its new partner in Austria, Belgium, Luxembourg, Switzerland, and (of course) Germany.

Sonic Sales’ first shipment of Kontrol Master units has almost sold out and will be arriving at relevant retailers by mid-July — an exciting prospect for its US creator. “We’re excited to be seen as one of the amazing brands that Sonic Sales believes in, introducing a new product line for distribution throughout mid-Europe,” enthuses Touch Innovations COO Cody Myer, before adding: “Their service and attention to each product is outstanding, so they’re the perfect fit for us.”

For his not inconsiderable part in the proceedings, Sonic Sales Managing Director Matthias Herbst has this to say: “The whole team at Sonic Sales is very much looking forward to raising the Touch Innovations profile in mid-Europe. I know it’s going to be a great journey, and am sure we can repeat the success stories that we’ve already enjoyed with other brands that we’ve helped build from the ground up.”

Ultimately, actions (almost) always speak louder than words… which is exactly what makes Kontrol Master so special, since it provides a revolutionary and unique experience, effectively and effortlessly integrating its user’s second hand into the musical mix using a high-precision, highly-responsive knob to control virtual knobs, faders, and more. Music production workflow works like never before by simply hovering the mouse pointer over the object to be controlled to immediately start using that knob for that tactile feel that us humans know and love.

And with the love being bestowed upon Kontrol Master by both Mathias Herbst and his Sonic Sales teammates, more mid-Europeans than ever before are about to get hands-on experience of what Touch Innovations has long since been making clear: combining Kontrol Master with editing software favourites transforms workflow from standard keyboard and mouse combi control to a fluid and precisely accurate experience. It is the — now no longer missing — link between human and computer that perfectly balances virtual parameter control with creative expression. Music, video, and graphics editors alike will find Kontrol Master to be a powerful intuitive instrument that directly links inspiration to all editing software.

Seeing that this month is the LGBT Pride Month, there are many artists who have shown their support for the community. All throughout June, Billboard has asked many musicians, actors, etc. to show off their support through letters, as a part of their “Love Letters to the LGBTQ Community” series. The latest to write his thoughts on this is Martin Garrix and you can see his entire love letter here.

“Whenever I’m on stage it makes me so happy to see all these different people in the crowd having fun together.

This Pride month I’m sending my love and immense gratitude to the entire LGBTQ community which includes my friends, colleagues, fellow artists, and of course my incredibly loyal fans.” – Martin Garrix

The masked producer was quick to respond, but he simply said that he was glad Rob was enjoying the tweets :).

Rob Swire even called out his own duo, Knife Party at one time, which was something a little weird. You can check out all the tweets below!

Excellia released the perfect summer remix for “Rockabye” by Clean Bandit!

Tokyo based producer Excellia is back on our musical radar with a brand new release that comes in the shape of a house remix for “Rockabye” by Clean Bandit. The level of production on this one is high, with good transitions, perfect buildups and a lot of energy. The drop comes in full force with a catchy lead theme that will stay in your head for hours, while on the break part, Excellia combined perfectly the vocals from the original tune with melodic harmonies and rhythmic elements to build the required energy before the drop. Overall, this is a good production (once again I might add) from the Japanese producer, which I highly recommend, especially since it’s coming as a free download. Check it out below!
