Imagine copying somebodys track then having the nerve to try and sue somebody else for stealing said stolen track. So insane.

To the people that say @kimpetras uses too much autotune. Back in March when we recorded the "Running Up That Hill" cover the studio we were using didn't even have autotune on the computer! Her vibrato is that insane naturally.

I will continue to release music and production here and there under the name but there’s no plans of doing another album/tour or anything on that scale. My focus has been on producing/engineering for other artists.

A lot of music sounds very similar, there's 12 notes and only so many chord changes/rhythms that work. This is tricky/scary stuff. Maybe we need to do away with 4/4 and do everything in 6/8 microtonal so we don't all get sued 🤷‍♂️

Can somebody explain to me why it's "wrong" to sidechain an 808 to a kick? If you do it correctly you don't hear the sidechain at all unless you want to.

I remember being horrified back in '91 at the events that happened in LA (Rodney King). 20 years later and it's like nothing has changed. As a musician that literally owes everything to the creativity and ingenuity of African Americans this is so sickening.
