Audiomodern dropped a new guitar sample pack called Opacity 2 for their Soundbox platform. It's built for composers and sound designers doing film, game, or ambient music.
This library gives you sixteen scoring kits with four types of material in each: chords, melodic phrases, rhythmic sequences, and atmospheric textures. Every element is labeled by key and syncs to your project tempo. The idea is that you can combine all these parts in different ways for original results.
It's on sale for twenty-nine euros until early January. After that, the price goes up to thirty-nine.
Create Music Group, that LA-based digital giant, just bought a UK dance music label called Cr2 Holdings. The deal folds Cr2 Records, its publishing arm, and a sample platform into CMG's expanding electronic music portfolio. Cr2 founder Mark Brown will stay on as president, working from London.
CMG is basically giving them a massive boost with cash, tech, and global distribution. Cr2 has a long history with major DJs like David Guetta and Avicii, charting hits internationally. CMG's leadership says they're backing Brown's vision to find and develop new talent in the dance scene.
This is part of a bigger shopping spree for CMG. They recently picked up catalogs from deadmau5 and other electronic labels, plus formed joint ventures with...
Itele, the actor whose real name is Ibrahim Yekini, just saw his movie Koleoso blow up online. It hit a crazy high search volume in 2025, competing with huge global shows on Netflix.
He's calling the success totally organic, crediting a real audience and a dedicated team. In his posts, he thanked the cast, crew, and everyone watching for making it a win for the whole Nollywood scene. He pointed to consistent hard work and a bit of divine help as the reasons behind the viral numbers.
Lagos police arrested a guy named Habeeb Hamzat, who goes by Peller online. He was live-streaming himself driving like a maniac, which ended in a bad crash. The police spokesperson, Abimbola Adebisi, said they're investigating it as a possible suicide attempt and for putting other people's lives at risk.
The case is with the state criminal investigators now. They plan to charge him in court after looking into everything. Authorities also sent a warning to online content creators, telling them not to glorify this kind of dangerous nonsense.
The police statement reminded everyone to follow traffic laws and drive safely. They emphasized that keeping the public safe is their main job. This whole incident is being treated as a serious...
Nigerian filmmaker Todimu Adegoke got a spot in a big-deal international program. He's joining the European Film Market Toolbox Programme, which happens during the Berlinale. He didn't apply directly. An industry vet named Joy Efe Odiete, who runs Blue Pictures Entertainment, picked him for it.
This program is basically a career accelerator for producers worldwide. It mixes online stuff with time in Berlin for meetings. Participants get mentorship and learn how to navigate the global film business. The idea is to hook them up with buyers and possible partners from other countries.
For Adegoke, this means access to a higher level of industry connections. It sets him up to work on more international projects. His nomination itself is a...
Ned Nwoko, a senator from Delta North, just responded to his ex-wife, Regina Daniels. She's been posting online about not seeing their kids, Munir and Khalifa. His team called her claims misleading.
Their statement says Daniels chose to be away from the kids, picking parties and nightlife instead. It argues that the children have a stable home with him. The response also points out that she used to post family pictures all the time, including kids from his other marriages, without complaining about privacy.
A court in Abuja has apparently ordered Daniels to complete a drug rehab program. She also needs an assessment from social welfare before any visitation happens. The whole custody hearing is scheduled for 2026. This public fight...
The NDIC and NIBSS are linking up officially. Their goal is to make paying back bank customers way faster when a bank goes under. The heads of both agencies, Oludare Sunday from NDIC and Premier Oiwoh from NIBSS, talked about this partnership in Abuja.
The deal focuses on using digital systems to sync up deposit data in real time. This would let them verify accounts almost instantly if they need to. They also plan to use more payout options like mobile money, maybe even a dedicated NDIC app. The whole point is to move money to people quicker and with less hassle, something they tested when Heritage Bank failed by using BVN details to send cash to alternate accounts.
Both bosses agreed that this formal agreement is key to keeping...
A company called EnergyPro, working with a Polish foundation, just taught a bunch of people in Ibadan how to install solar panels and build power banks. Their co-founder, Akinmolayan Peter, said this stuff is about solving problems and helping people get by, arguing that reliable power is the only way Nigeria's economy stops being stuck. He opened a new office there and told everyone that solar is the future for the country.
People at the event, like a former Oyo State commissioner named Raphael Afonja and a guy named Abiodun Adeyemi, kept hammering the same point. They said no place gets anywhere without steady electricity. The folks who got trained agreed, mentioning that constant blackouts are a huge issue for homes and businesses...
