This plugin is life-changing. I’ve told Nicky it would be awesome to make the bass & duck communicate, and he’s done it! Just by moving the slope, I have a perfect sidechain for my kick.

Mixing in 2022 is more important than ever, especially for dance floor tracks. The kick is the most important element in most dance tracks and it really needs a proper place in your mix. This new version gives more hands on tools to shape the place of your kick in the mix, to make sure it has the perfect impact on the dance floor! Essential!

A sidechain tool I've been looking for my whole life. Thank you Nicky for letting me help during the development of the plugin. It's a must have tool!

An already powerful tool just got even better. Kickstart 2 comes with insane flexibility and awaited new features. The perfect side-chain pump plug-in just arrived… and she’s gorgeous.

Warning: Contains spoilers for the final episode (Episode 8).

Here is your complete guide to the multiverse’s greatest podcast. Meet Clancy Gilroy (voiced by Duncan Trussell). Clancy lives in a trailer park on the "Chromus Ribbon"—a donut-shaped planet that orbits a bizarre, barren landscape. He is a "spacecaster" who owns a broken, semi-sentient multiverse simulator (which looks like a vintage computer made of meat and metal).

| Episode | Guest (Real Person) | Topic | Visual Metaphor | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | Dr. Drew Pinsky | Drugs, harm reduction, and ego death. | Clancy becomes a medieval executioner in a "fish people" genocide. | | E5: "Annihilation of Joy" | Damien Echols | Magick, surviving solitary confinement, and the nature of reality. | Clancy fights a zombie apocalypse caused by a lack of joy. | | E8: "Mouse of Silver" | Deneen Fendig (Duncan's mother) | Cancer, dying, grief, and the Tibetan Book of the Dead. | A quiet road trip through a dying simulation. | The Masterpiece: Episode 8 ("Mouse of Silver") You cannot discuss The Midnight Gospel without addressing the finale. It is not just a great episode of TV; it is a therapeutic session broadcast to the world.

10/10 (Specifically for Episode 8 alone).

The chaos is the point. It forces you to listen to the words. If you want to jump in, here are the emotional anchors of the season:

Clancy’s job? To illegally jump into dying worlds just before they are destroyed, interview their inhabitants, and upload the audio to the universe’s version of Spotify.
