Sonic Boom Six has emerged from the rubble of culture and politics of 2023 with RE:Generation, a new compilation of their material from the last decade, plus two brand-new tracks.

New song ‘Future Shock’ drops with quite literally a Boom: the band’s signature mix of heroically heavy riffs with dancefloor-ready grooves serving up their horror at the increasingly polarised war zone of social media discourse. ‘One Of The Boys' skewers the old boy's network that has dominated British decision-making for as long as they care to remember over a mash-up of ska-punk and bass music. Throw in road-tested anthems like ‘Virus’, and ‘No Man No Right’ and we have a record that celebrates the band’s remarkable journey while continuing their artistic evolution.

Moreover, in October 2023, Sonic Boom Six are set to inspire a renewed sense of unity and enthusiasm among their fans as they take their electrifying performances to stages across the country for the RE:Generation tour. SB6 is ready to remind us once again that music has the extraordinary ability to touch our souls, unite us as a community, and pave the way for a brighter future.

On the Saturday November 11, 2023 edition of The Richard Crouse Show we get to know Paul Langlois. Best known as the guitarist and songwriter for the Tragically Hip, he was asked to play the closing ceremonies of the Canada Summer Games in Niagara Falls in August of 2022. That gig got him playing again after Gord Downey’s passing, and the break up of the Hip, and rekindled his love for songwriting. From there, the collection of songs that became his new solo record “Guess What” emerged.

Then, Chris Hadfield joins the show. He is an astronaut, engineer, singer, fighter pilot and the author of the memoir An Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth, the children's book The Darkest Dark, which was illustrated by the Fan Brothers, and the photo book You Are Here: Around the World in 92 Minutes.

Last year he wrote a thriller called “The Apollo Murders,” a Cold War thriller that introduced audiences to former U.S. test pilot Kaz Zemeckis, as he attempted to stay one step ahead of his Soviet rivals as Russian and American crews sprint for a secret bounty hidden away on the Moon’s surface. James Cameron called it a nail biter, and it hit number one on the best seller charts. 

Hadfield returns with “The Defector,” once again placing Kaz Zemeckis in the middle of the action, this time as he takes to the sky in aerial combat to hunt down a high-level defector and uncover Soviet secrets.

Chris Hadfield joined me via Zoom to talk about creating the character Kaz, and how he approached writing his second book of fiction.

Endless echo
footsteps on an empty house
once full of life

My 2nd remix of "Route Nationale 20" by Zuunzug Field Recording. Had to make a mix that was faster:) You can check/download the original file here:

https://soundcloud.com/zuunzug-field-recording/route-nationale-20?si=c1e9fb177f914583ac7c46765f5d65da&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing

This time not as obvious where the "Route 20" is as the remixed sample has been mangled by a Kaoss mini pad FX processor:) Used a Grain shifter. The sound @ 0:46, 4:10 & 8:47 is the motorway sample but obviously speeded up due to the higher bpm used.

There are 3 different sounds in the intro. One is the main sample (grain shifted) and the other two are synths (Mophatt).

Bass by Model D and melodic synth is from a Subharmonicon.
Very simple tune made very quickly (3 hours including mastering).

Also used a Korg ER-1 and the Vermona DRM1 mk IV for beats & percussion.
