INSIDE THE BOX: HOW THE PŌNEKE-MADE DELUGE REDEFINED MUSIC HARDWARE FOR THE WORLD
“The Deluge, I believe, has the strongest, most supportive and passionate community of any synthesizer in the world, and I think that’s something I’ll always be beyond proud of. I believe we’ve changed the entire industry for the better.” - Ian Jorgensen Emma Bernard (AKA electronic producer Ludus) sits down with Rohan Hill and Ian Jorgensen, the visionary minds behind Synthstrom Audible's groundbreaking creation, The Deluge. In a candid conversation, they delve into the genesis of this all-in-one music hardware, its unexpected global journey, and the recent decision to make it open source, redefining the landscape of music technology.

CLEMENTINE VALENTINE REVEAL FINAL SINGLE/VIDEO 'SELENELION'
DARTZ RELEASE ‘EARN THE THIRST' + ANNOUNCE NZ TOUR
The band says: “The song’s about putting in the hard yards before you have a beer. Sometimes it’s tempting to skip straight to cracking one open, but it’ll hit so much harder if you put in the work and get sweaty first. As soon as we figured that out we made a song about it.”

Thanks for stopping by and visiting us at Flying Nun Records. Over the past forty years, the record label has released hundreds of alternative and underground Aotearoa New Zealand music artists, bands, albums, records, EPs, singles and videos. Flying Nun originally started in the South Island in 1981, championing what later became known as the 'Dunedin Sound'. These days, we continue to release new local artists and bands, as well as reissuing albums from the catalog. We have a record store located in Te Whanganui-a-Tara Wellington, which sells vinyl LPs, records, CDs, band t-shirts, merchandise, cassettes and other stuff. The shop stocks both our record label releases, as well as a curated selection of interesting other music. We are also active with our news and blog. Occasionally, Flying Nun puts on live music events and gigs. Please take a look around!
