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.

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.

das SPEZIAL’s mission extends beyond the music into all forms of creative expression. Counter culture thrives amongst independent thinkers with unique skills, and we’re committed to experimenting with form and format wherever we can find kindred spirits who want to create something beautiful. As the first wave of our collaborations launches, in this feature series we’re shining a light on the people making the goods.

Cinematic sounds exploring contrast through sonic landscapes to a sci-fi movie that never existed. Each composition on the album will challenge you emotionally & physically through frequencies that belong to another world.
