Wether you like Jamiroquai or not, you should check out Matt Johnsonās channel. Heās just an amazing musician and deeply in love with synthesizers. Heās also not a snob about it. Heāll happily mix in a Behringer RD-8. I recommend starting with his Minimoog Model D video:

I love Jamiroquai (though if you had shown me a picture of what he looks like now to me twenty years ago I donāt know that Iād have believed you.) Funny story only sort of related-I used to be kind of a dismissive snob about Justin Timberlake. How could a Micky Mouse Club-Boy Band refugee ever produce anything worth listening to. When I did hear āSexy Backā I didnāt really listen close enough and convinced myself it must be Jamiroquai, and got more and more into it over a few weeks, until I realized Iād tricked myself into liking Timberlake. I think his record speaks for itself now-he produced Duran Duran after all, including the amazing Nick Rhodes.

In a similar vein of good youtubers, Iām bang into Alex Ballās stuff at the moment:
Iām sure he might be common knowledge round these parts but heās got a great blend of tutorials (mostly about songwriting, which are really useful even if you donāt want to make cheesy music), synth demos and synth design history docs. Some of them are long (1hr+) but are well worth the time.

Well, this isnāt Jay Kay himself. Matt joined the band in 2002, so he wasnāt even there when I was into them. Heās still pretty amazing

Iām a metalhead, but I like to dip into other genres sometimes. Recently got this album for my cd collection.

One of my favourite bands from the german electronic scene is āwelle:erdballā, they sing mainly in german, If you want Iāll translate some of it for you; they have a wide style from soft to very hard songs and hereās the great part: They use a C-64 in song composing and on stage as well.

I think Duran Duran was amongst the best produced recordings Iāve ever played, apart from Prince that is!

I thought about the poet Labi Siffre after breakfast, and when I went looking the internet informed me that yesterday was his 75th birthday. A great voice in every way imaginable. He wrote the soundtrack to my awakening.
Most of us have heard quite a few of his songs as covers. Madness had one of their greatest hits with It Must Be Love. This one, Something Inside So Strong, was a big hit for Siffre himself, and was covered by the Country star Kenny Rogers. Inspired by the long South African struggle against apartheid, and somewhat by Siffreās personal experiences as a black gay Englishman, the song could be the signature tune of the recent great awakening to the continuing struggle against racism. And that voice!
