On March 28, 2018, music streaming platform Spotify and lyric interpretation website Genius (f.k.a. Rap Genius) announced the premiere of an all-new podcast, Déjà Vu, that celebrates the complex musical lineage of today’s biggest artists by exploring the greats who inspired them.
On Déjà Vu, host and cultural commentator Stereo Williams leads a panel of music experts in an in-depth discussion about the ways that modern hitmakers connect to the iconic musicians from the past who paved the way. Each episode will examine the music of a modern day superstar, and uncover the rich history hiding beneath the surface of their sound.
Every other Wednesday, new episodes of Déjà Vu will air for a run of eight episodes. You can now listen to the first one, featuring Rob Markman (Genius' Head of Artist Relations) and Dawton Thomas (Editor-in-Chief of VIBE), here: Episode 1: Is Kendrick Lamar the new 2Pac?

This week, staff engineer Zac Suskevich recorded voice-over material, in connection with Studio Line in Paris for remote recording via ISDN and SourceConnect. The talent included writer and actor John Cameron Mitchell (originating the title role in the musical Hedwig and the Angry Inch) and from the remote studio in Paris, actress Marion Cotillard (La Vie En Rose, Inception, Macbeth).
Dubway has been working on producing the English translation dubbing for a Chinese feature-length musical film.
After the script was translated from Mandarin Chinese into English, Dubway was tasked with adapting the English translation (to match the lip movement of the Chinese characters on screen), casting the many dialog and singing talent, directing the sessions, and delivering the final mix.
Dubway recently teamed up with Nick Jr. to record new voice-over content for Amazon Alexa's kids skill game, The SpongeBob Challenge. Engineer Zac Suskevich worked with actor Dan Bittner (That Awkward Moment, Adventureland, Law Abiding Citizen) to bring SpongeBob Squarepants' character to life.
“To engage the kids, we leveraged the rich soundscape of SpongeBob SquarePants by including its iconic music, colorful sound effects, and beautiful, rich audio transitions, not to mention SpongeBob’s crazy laugh,” says Darren Brelesky, senior VP of product and technology at Nickelodeon.
The SpongeBob Challenge, available for download for Amazon Alexa, has more than 80 memory challenges, and is filled with over 70 characters including Patrick, Plankton, Squidward, and Mr. Krabs, as well as hundreds of music and sound effects from the show.
The skill places kids behind the cash register of the Krusty Krab where they take orders from a host of strange but hilarious customers. In each session, kids face three challenges in which they have to remember the details of each customer’s order—no matter how odd the customer’s cravings may be.
American actors Luke Wilson and Dianna Agron came by the studio this January to record dialogue, with Dubway engineer Zac Suskevich, for a new film directed by Agron. Thanks for stopping in!

Luke Wilson is widely known for his roles in films such as Idiocracy, Old School, Bottle Rocket, The Royal Tenenbaums, Blue Streak, Bongwater, and Legally Blonde.
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. actor Brett Dalton was recently in studio to record ADR for a film by Reel One Pictures. Engineer Adrian Thorstensen ran the session with Source Connect, with Reel One joining in remotely from Vancouver, BC.
Last year, Dubway had the opportunity to produce the audio — location recording, ADR, foley, SFX, mixing — for Christopher Piazza's short film, Olfactory. The film won 'Best Dramatic Short film at the Berlin Sci-Fi Filmfest last November, and we're happy to share its official online release today ! Watch Olfactory in its entirety here: http://filmshortage.com/dailyshortpicks/olfactory/
Olfactory is a dramatic sci-fi short film about memories and how they never leave us. In the film, “Olfactory” is a system that allows users to re-experience memories. Brian, an app programmer, hacks the system so he can alter his memories, but in doing so, he loses his grip on his current reality.
Olfactory was co-written and directed by Christopher Piazza. It is based on a short story of the same name by Lucas Kane. The film stars Kieran Mulcare (Jessica Jones, Gotham), Alison Barton (Master of None, Friends from College) and Molly Camp (High Maintenance, The Good Wife).
