What just happened?!? // How best to keep up with Superbooth Home Edition (Patreon)

WOW what a whirlwind the past few days have been around the 'Home Edition' of Superbooth. I was involved in lots of it and I still feel like it's hard to keep up. I've had multiple messages asking how best to absorb all the content and what the highlights were. So just for you lovely Patreon supporters I've tried to make this is as easy to navigate as possible. 

First of all I'm posting news and updates for new releases and announcements on my site here - https://bit.ly/SB20new - many more updates will come to that in the coming days. I know something launched today, there's more new things this week and there's a few things I haven't had chance to add yet. But use the link and check back. 

Superbooth have a collection of content from companies, performance, workshops etc that's all on the site - https://www.superbooth.com/en/ - I haven't had chance to go through this but looking today I see they've added timestamps to the Vimeo videos so you can just hover over the timeline to see what's in each long video. 

Sonic State have been putting up lots of pre made and edited videos for Superbooth which I'm told from friends who can't visit Superbooth is much like how they see these things live anyway. I wouldn't know as I'm usually in Berlin while these things happen but of course check out the Sonic State YouTube and scan through the videos tab. Nick also held a Superbooth special edition of Sonic Talk where I joined Nick along with Bobeats & Robin Vincent to chat highlights. https://youtu.be/CJlVd8VqGxc 

SPECIAL RESERVE SUPERBOOTH EDITION

As some of you will have seen Hainbach & Konstantine (joined in entirety by me) set up 3 days of live streams with lots of companies aiming to capture the spirit and vibe of Superbooth and give the manufacturers an opportunity to share what they're working on as well as provide a lot of community engagement. This was a lovely experience with the hosts, guests and the live audience. Thanks to those that joined us live.

So here's a full breakdown with lots of links - clicking the times will lead to that point in the video and clicking the company name will lead you to their sites. I've also added a short description of what was discussed so you can best skip around. So this should make it much easier for you to skip around and find the things you're most interested in.

I'm working on a couple of new demo videos this week and there's lots of future planning going on currently. We're looking at May 9th for the follow up Feeding The Monster stream with lots of patch demos and audio. But I'll announce that properly when we have dates. Livestreams from the wider community will continue to be updated on https://bit.ly/coronastreams 

All the best for now!
