In our debut episode, The Rack Pack crew assembles to preview the most anticipated synthesizer event of the year - Superbooth 2025! Join BlueNautilus, SynthDad, Oscidigi, Moonbass Alpha, and Stujay as they introduce themselves and their unique modular journeys before diving into what makes Berlin's electronic music mecca so special. We explore the laid-back festival atmosphere that sets Superbooth apart from traditional trade shows and share insider tips for navigating FEZ-Berlin. The conversation shifts to our most anticipated gear announcements, from Acid Rain Technology's new Chainsaw-inspired VCO to the OXI One mk2 and every other pre-SB25 gear drop we could track down. We wrap things up with a 'one thing' each host looks forward to the most. Whether you're Berlin-bound or keeping your wallet prepped from afar, join us for this synth-obsessed preview of Europe's premier modular hardware event. --- We talk about a lot of modules and other hardware in this podcast, here are links to (most of) the manufacturers discussed in this episode:
