Create a Retro Urban Gig Poster in Photoshop (Tutorial)

Digital graphics are largely dependent on the software used to create them. Given the clean, pixel-perfect nature of Photoshop, artworks always risk looking too perfect therefore it’s important to learn how to bring nature’s random variations into our digital creations. In this tutorial we’ll create an atmospheric poster for a dance party using the textured, retro look that’s so popular nowadays.

Rhythmicon – Rain Falls and Thunder Rolls (Mixset)



“I was asked by Fractal to do a mix for his label’s “Tide Pool is Love” show, hosted on Proton Radio. This is that mix.

Somewhere along the road, I seemed to have developed a habit of making themed mixes featuring unreleased work. My goal here was to create an atmospheric “headphone” style blend, with emphasis on layering and progression. It starts with some downtempo melodies, then briefly hints at touches of dub, jungle, and garage. The mood shifts as it journeys into deeper minimal territory, then finishes with some eclectic bits. It’s hand-mixed with digital vinyl; virtually all unreleased dubs from a variety of artists. You are encouraged to re-post this mix!

I enjoyed making it. I hope you enjoy listening to it.”

Rhythmicon’s set opening for Mount Kimbie



Rhythmicon has had an amazing summer. Despite The Big Reds being split up by life’s myriad paths, the homie has gigged like a motherfucker, ripping opening slots for Zed’s Dead & 16Bit among others.

At Rifflandia 3, dude also opened for, er, MOUNT KIMBIE. Now, MK’s show was a bit of a letdown – the Riff3 performance was their first on North American soil & thus, they were unprepared for the EU/NA power conversion, meaning they could only generate about “half” of their set. Yes, it was painful seeing the dudes frustrated, even though their neutered set still sounded deep & cool as fuck.

Anyway, earlier that night, Rhythmicon laced this slick mix of moodier, paced tunes. Some stellar moments on here… Pangaea’s “Router” & Eskmo’s “Cloudlight” both shine. Another fine mix from the crew…

Rhythmicon: ”When I was asked to play a set of downtempo ‘I wouldn’t normally play’ at Alix Goolden Hall for Victoria’s Rifflandia Festival, I was grateful for the opportunity to perform in a style I would usually be unable to share with a live audience. As the venue is a church sanctuary turned music conservatory & performance hall, I tried to select work that made unique use of space & verb; music that I thought would be interesting to hear in a room with such powerful acoustics. There’s definitely an influence of the shift into autumn, deep and atmospheric after a dark & wet September.”
