This week we have two thirds of Qu-Bit Electronix, a modular synth manufacturer based out of Portland. We caught them at a local hardware night and knew we wanted to hear their story! We talked about how they got into hardware, video games, and at the end they gave us a little demo of some of their synths!

We have a very special episode for you today! This episode was recorded in front of a live audience after our showing of Industrial Soundtrack For The Urban Decay, which if you've seen the film will provide some context for some of our discussion. We talk about industrial music's history, the upcoming Lead Into Gold, and how Barker ended up making the popular Malekko synths.
