If you’re into music creation, chances are you’ve heard of Focusrite Scarletts—they’re practically a staple in the industry. But here’s the kicker: while they’re adored by many, official support from Focusrite is limited to Windows and Mac users. Thankfully, the Open Source Community has stepped up to the plate! Thanks to the efforts of Geoffry Bennet and others, compatibility with Linux systems is now a reality, complete with a sleek GUI to control every aspect of your Focusrite Scarlett for everyday use. In this article, I’ll walk you through the steps needed to configure your Focusrite Scarlett on your Linux system, so you can seamlessly integrate it into your audio setup and unlock its full potential. Let’s dive in! 🚀🚀🚀

The year 2023 slowly but steadily comes to an end. And with it a new Ruffy Le RaRe release comes along to end the year with a “bang”. Ruffy partnered up with A.R. and created a Deep House re-interpretation of “Rather Be” by Jess Glynne and Clean Bandit. This cover contains acoustic guitars, crunchy vocals and jazzy synth leads combined with a steady four-to-the-floor house rhythm. You’ve probably heard the original in the radio for at least 3 million times already, yet this version will be like listening to a completly different song.

Hey there! I hope you’re all having an awesome day filled with good vibes and great tunes. Today, ruffy has something special in store that’s sure going to make your day a little bit better. We’re taking a trip down memory lane to revisit a classic track that had us all grooving back in the day – “Perfekte Welle” by Juli. Many productions as 2Phaze came out lately, so it was time to also release for the Ruffy Le RaRe fans. And so shall it be! Come and join me a fusion of House, Electro a touch Dubstep and teaspoon full of nostalgia.

It’s time for a new release again 🚀🚀🚀. This time ruffy presents a tune combining catchy Drum & Bass and (lots of) iconic vocals from the previous 20 years. All that, combined into a single song. The project initially started out as a remix for “All That I Need” by S3rl and was further on extended with Adele, Linkin Park, Jason Derulo, Ellie Goulding Dada Life and Candee Jay. At some point the amount of vocals took overhand, so I’ve decided to call it a “Mashleg” (basically a mixture out of bootleg and a mashup). Now this song marks the first Mashleg of a series of Mashlegs called Smash Ups. Come and have a listen…

Here we go again! 2Phaze is back with a new original tune called “Holding You”. Holding You is a romantic dance duet in the typical 2Phaze Hands Up style. “Hands Up Will Never Die” - with this in mind, ruffy produced “Holding You” as a catchy dance tune with lovely vocals and lyrics telling you the story of a couple in love, and how they describe their relationship.

Tschentig, formerly known as Tirolerisch G'spielt, convinces with young and cheeky austropop, showing without a doubt that its origin is rooted in typical tyrolean folk music.Tschentig has succeeded in combining classical austrian folk instruments with catchy melodies and beautiful lyrics. Swinging songs with lyrics taken from life. Songs to sing along. In this blog post, we will have a look on what Tschentig has to to offer.

It became silent around Ruffy Le RaRe for a few months now (again), but that does not mean there’s no news at all. While university was taking most of my attention throughout the last few months, that didn’t stop me from working on some of my older music projects on the side. And luckily I was able to finish one. Now with this post I’m proudly releasing my Walk Away Remix for Asher Postman. This time it’s a 115 BPM House’ish Remix, with a funky bassline and a Dubstep’ish finish (genre-bending is my favorite sport). Since many of you lovely people gave me ton of great feedback on the last 2 releases with FLP I also decided to publish the FLP (Fruity Loops Project File) again for this project!

We’re getting closer and closer to Christmas. So close, that one can already smell cookies 🍪 and the scent of the Christmas tree 🎄 in the living room. It’s the time where we’re supposed to calm down and just enjoy the time with our family and loved ones. Yet here we are stressing ourselves out, often for absolutely no reason at all. But, as always, Jntktn.TV got your back. The crew prepared a super awesome X-MAS Special just for you, so you can lean back and just enjoy the show. The lovely streamers of Jnktn will be live for you on Saturday the 18th of December for a total of 13 (!!!) hours. Come for the music, stay for the awesome people, and forget about the “business as usual” for a moment.

Over the last few years I had very little time for music - especially for my own music. University here, work there, friends, family on the other side - trust me, it’s not always easy to actually have time for producing music. Even if you have a few spare minutes left, sometimes the creativity-levels are just below the required threshold. As a result, I started lots of projects during that time, but didn’t finish a single one. My project folder now contains round about 50 unfinished ideas, that are just waiting for being started/finished. Well, and exactly that had to stop! I rolled up my sleeves and got to work with the goal to reduce the number of WIP projects. To celebrate this, I’m releasing my remix for Timmy Trumpet - Cold and a 2Phaze original tune called Unknown Paradigm. But wait, there’s even more. I’m also releasing the FLPs (Fruity Loops Project Files) for both projects, just to give back to the community, producers and everyone interested in my music.

When you’re searching for ways to live-stream / broadcast something to the world, you’ll most likely land at the usual suspects - services like YouTube and Twitch. Well, those might be great, but you know what’s even greater? Right, self-hosting your own broadcasting platform. Luckily there is an awesome F(L)OSS project called Owncast that does the heavy lifting for you. Owncast is a privacy-friendly drop-in replacement for services such as Twitch. Owncast finds a wide adoption throughout streamers already, because only YOU own and control the content. In this article I’ll show you how you can host your own Owncast-instance in just a few simple steps, containerized on any operating system that supports either podman or docker.
