Pioneering composer, sound designer and synthesist, Todd Barton, has remixed  a stunning version of ‘Monopoly’ from Kids3 for Das Spezial released today.

We’re thrilled to unveil the remix of Das SPEZIAL: Monopoly, crafted by the renowned sound designer and founder of Soundfreak Modular, Alina Kalancea. Based in Italy, Alina brings her signature artistry to this reimagined track. We spent some time chatting to Alina about her upcoming album, work processes and her first true love – Buchla.

From classical composition to music for video games, acclaimed cellist and composer Drew Morgan has recently joined the SPEZIAL team, adding his distinctive blend of classical and contemporary to the latest EP release, SPZL KIDS 3.

We spoke to Drew about his creative process, past musical projects and the tricky subject of inspiration.

Prepare for Das Spezial to flip the script yet again with another six tracks of bold songwriting and restless sonic exploration. Shahab Notghi's creative juggernaut has never paid much heed to limitation, drawing wildly talented players, dreamers and visionaries into its audio-visual vortex with an electrical charge that could light up a main stage and enough teeth to bite a chunk out of the underground.

Introducing Reign MC, a British MC based in Bournemouth who has been making a name for himself through his bold and brutal lyrical style. With one of his tracks, 'Blood Diamond' featured on Spezial EP release SPZL KIDS 3 and a new grime album out this summer, he spoke to us about what's he been up to recently.

Acclaimed music producer and radio presenter Dave Clarke, dubbed as the 'Baron of Techno', collaborated with SPEZIAL for the release of a remix track for 'Manifest' EP. He recently took some time to talk to us about his influences, inspiration and work so far in the music industry.

Multimedia music and fashion brand SPEZIAL are proud to unveil a new collaboration with emergent designer MAE and the Arts University of Bournemouth.

The second instalment in the KIDS EP series is primed to drop, but true to the SPEZIAL spirit there have been more mixed-media collabs bubbling away alongside the music. Last time around we were shining the spotlight on our skate deck hook up with South Coast screen printers Back & Forth, and now it’s time to explore the work we’re doing with progressive fashion imprint Acrylic Minds.
