While in Primm, Nevada, we had the chance to record the sounds of short-course off-road racing: engines, dirt, and the crunch of tires.
The event was organized by SNORE (Southern Nevada Off Road Enthusiasts), and although our visit wasn’t planned or official, it turned into a great opportunity to capture some raw, high-quality sounds for the Soundly library.
I obviously love the freedoms & possibilities things like 3D printing has brought us - but there's something special about the efficiencies & creativity of using found parts & available materials to make otherworldly & cool-looking things 🙌
This, the original, full-size ED-209, which STILL EXISTS! 🤯, is one of the best examples of that in all of film & SFX history 🤩

The decline of SFX serves as a valuable lesson regarding the challenges of commodifying a subculture, highlighting the resilience of outsider communities. Prior to the rise of electronic dance music (EDM), dance music had thrived for decades as a grassroots and often marginalized community, with its members cautious of any efforts to exploit its cherished authenticity. Despite SFX's attempts to engage with a new generation of dance music enthusiasts, it struggled to resonate with the dedicated core audience at the heart of the genre. SFX developed within the EDM boom, a time when it seemed that electronic dance music would dominate the industry. However, the transition of a subculture into the mainstream can often alienate its foundational audience. As casual fans shift their interests elsewhere, a significant void is left behind.
