Studio Time with MNDR
Right now MNDR is our favorite electronic pop singer/producer and gear head who crafts effervescent jams we simply cannot shake from our brains while posting the deepest, nerdiest, most pocket protectorly posts about synthesizers on her blog. When she’s not performing her “Pon de Floor” remix with Major Lazer at our parties or playing with addictive Oakland mind-gardeners tRIANGLE, she’s recording her debut album in a Chelsea studio with her colleague Peter Wade. We stopped by to hear some amazing new songs and talk to the duo about synths, patches, grindcore and unicorns.

FADER TV: Studio Time With Eric Broucek
- story THE FADER
Former DFA in house engineer Eric Broucek recently left the label to start his own studio. Draped in Navajo fabric and long stemmed plants, Broucek built the Brooklyn studio from scratch, designing all the rooms, adding floating rubber under the floor and asymmetrical plastic curly thingies to perfect sound. Being a new studio, much of Broucek’s work has yet to come out (and he is currently at work at some bananas shit), but we trust it will be good because he’s had a hand in records by LCD Soundsystem, The Juan Maclean, Hercules and Love Affair, as well as recording as the fantastic and too overlooked Babytalk. We promise you he’s major.
FADER TV: Studio Time With Morgan Geist
- story THE FADER
Way out in Woodhaven, Queens, in the same building that many bar scenes from Goodfellas were filmed, Morgan Geist has just moved into a new studio. We visited him there to discuss his new solo album, Double Night Time, which he made with some vocal assistance from Jeremy Greenspan of Junior Boys. Geist, half of production and DJ duo Metro Area, is certainly familiar with what makes positive electronic music, but for Double Night Time he took that electronic charge and lulled it, not by creating anything downtempo or overly sappy, but by injecting the music with just a tiny bit of pain. He talks about making the album, pop music and a lot of expensive old equipment.
