    Arturia’s Pure Sub is all about that bass.

    The company’s latest virtual synth is focused entirely on the low end. It’s purpose-built for EDM wubs, tuned 808 thumps, and even some heavy gabber kicks. It’s not a subtle instrument, that’s for sure. But it’s plenty of fun if you like rattling the walls.

    What’s your favorite internet urban legend?

    Rewatching We’re All Going to the World’s Fair had me thinking about internet lore, creepypastas, and urban legends. Personally, I’m a sucker for a good haunted videogame like Ben Drowned or Petscop. But I want to know what weird and creepy internet rabbitholes you think are worth diving down.

    We’re All Going to the World’s Fair is an intimate coming-of-age horror film

    With Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma out in theaters, now is the perfect time to revisit Jane Schoenbrun’s first film.

    NPR gives Weird Al the respect he deserves.

    Plenty of incredible artists have stepped behind the Tiny Desk at NPR’s DC headquarters, from Juvenile and T-Pain to Soul Glo, Tyer the Creator, and even the cast of Sesame Street. But Weird Al Yankovic has now joined the illustrious list of performers invited back for multiple sets.

    Open Mike Eagle and Kenny Segal crafted a hip-hop breakup masterpiece

    DOOMED! pairs Eagle’s deeply personal lyrics with some of Segal’s most commanding beats.
