Happy Birthday!

MC Rebbe The Rapping Rabbi celebrates The Technofile's first anniversary and the 20th birthday of Sound on Sound MagazineJust over a month ago, I celebrated the first anniversary of my smash hit blog ‘MC Rebbe The Rapping Rabbi‘. Now it’s time to celebrate the first anniversary of The Technofile!

Over the past year, I have brought you reviews of all the latest and greatest creation technology, in the process attracting the support of some of the biggest names in the industry, such as Apple and Adobe, as well as numerous smaller players. There’s been world exclusives, such as my preview of Adobe’s Creative Suite 2…the first to appear anywhere (in print or online) and my review of Native Instruments’ Battery…which beat all of the specialist music mags to publication; and excerpts from my reviews have been reprinted (with permission) on the web sites of everyone from Sony to Focal Press! So respect not just to me, but to all of the manufacturers who have given me their support…and their products… Continue reading “Happy Birthday!”
