Tom Wilson, Manager of The Hen House here, hoping you're keeping well.
You're nearly there! Just one more week to go and it's big feeds, big naps and a big amount of time to hang out and work on your creative endeavours.
If you're struggling along at the end of this week, chill out for a sec and have a scroll of what I've rounded up this week.
A sneak peak at a new addition to Room 6!
SXSW Sydney 2024
After the inaugural SXSW Sydney this year, and a whopping 287,000 people attending, the conference will return for 2024 from 14-20 of October. With the aforementioned successes this year, they boast the next will be even bigger, with a combination of over 1500 conferences, speakers, bands, artists, games events and demos. You can read more about it here!
TikTok's Biggest Aus Songs
We have the Billboard Chats, we have the ARIA charts, and now we have the TikTok Music charts. Australians made a bunch of videos, and now the list of songs that dominated in Aus is out. The list is topped by two sped-up versions of songs – Collide by Justine Skye and Cupid by FIFTY FIFTY, along with Her Way by PARTYNEXTDOOR and girls like me don’t cry by Thuy, Dave and Central Cee’s megahit Sprinter, followed by Boy’s A Liar Pt. 2 by PinkPantheress and Ice Spice. Check out the full list here!
Using the AI Micro!
If you use our DJ Rooms here at the studios, you may have noticed this handy unit attached to the light rings! The Rode AI Micro allows you to plug your lighting/USB C phone into the unit, and take an RCA cable straight out of the DJ mixer and into your phone for amazing audio for your video, stream or recording! You'll find the cables and everything you need in the room, as well as a video in your emails to show you how it's set up. But if you want to dive a little deeper, check out this video here showing you all the features!
Giglist - Get to a Show!
If you've got some time off over the next 4 weeks or so, make sure you are checking out some live music! Not sure where to find any? Check out Giglist! You can simply punch in your Postcode and find all the shows happening near you, or alternatively, all the shows happening in the state! Check it out here.
Well friends, that's me for this week!
Stay safe and have a yourself lovely weekend, Tom
