Welcome:

Welcome everyone! It’s my pleasure to bring you all the May 2024 monthly Community Roundup. I’m FauxRealz, and I’ll be highlighting all the awesome stuff you have accomplished this last month and talk about the things you all have upcoming. As a community, we all strive to help lift each other up, progress through the sound of music as a whole, and be a welcoming place for new-comers to learn and grow with us!


Monthly Community Member Spotlight:

Every month, we will be spotlighting a community member that has gone above and beyond, making an impact within the community and scene as a whole.

This month’s Community Member Spotlight goes to:

ACIDION

Per the words directly from last month’s Community Spotlight recipient, Triddy, “Acidion makes me believe there is hope left for the US.” Acidion has been a member of the Stonx Music Discord since May of 2023, and has been a positive force since then. His engagement is always encouraging, his feedback is always meaningful and constructive, and he’s a regular on just about every topic and discussion within the Discord server. Acidion is a powerful DJ, exploring many subgenres of DnB, and streams much of what he does on his Twitch channel on a regular basis. He’s also started exploring DnB production, and I for one, am excited to see where this leads him and what he creates in the future!

You can find Acidion on the Stonx Music Discord server and also on his Twitch, Soundcloud, and YouTube channels.

Give him a follow & Check out his guest mix on Stonxcast!
