With technology being at its peak, it’s fair to say that we don’t have an excuse anymore with song production. Anyone, as long as they have the will to learn, can become a great producer. The downside of that is that we tend to over-produce everything. Scott’s Tees‘ newest track, ‘We Move As Fast As
In a world where complicated riffs, over-the-top production values are at their highest peak, La Need Machine decided to take us back to the days of just pure rawness and grit in music.

Luke Pacuk’s 1983 isn’t just another artist raiding the thrift shop of eighties nostalgia. If anything, it’s a full-scale reconstruction project. This record doesn’t merely wear its influences on its sleeve; it embalms them, reanimates them, and sends them staggering into the modern world with unnerving confidence.
