The Pico C ($549) is the third in PicoBrew's line of automated craft home brewing appliances, built by beer geeks. Pico C brews using PicoPaks, compo stable, sugarcane husk containers filled with grain and hops that match recipes for more than 100 award-winning craft beers. The WiFi-enabled machine reads the RIFD tag for the recipe it's brewing and lets you adjust the ABV and IBU according to your preference. Brew a 5-liter batch in under 2 hours, ready to drink in under 2 weeks. It even doubles as a sous vide built-in.  Check out their other products as well at picobrew.

This console is not only aesthetically beautiful but it's also hours of old school fun. Inspired by attaché cases, the Cary42 ($3000) is a portable game console from Love Hulten that comes with 100 classic games. The case is handcrafted from solid American walnut and opens to an old-school two-player gaming console complete with panels in satin grey and black and white buttons. It can also store over 10,000 emulated games that you can add through a USB connection. Limited to 50 units. Checked out more by Love Hulten on his website. 

I quite enjoy this series of minimal and pop color for architectural structures.  This series was created by Ali Sahba who wanted to take the mimialistic approach with colors and show Hamburg a German city appear in a new and original way.  To see more of his work and other projects check him out on Behance.

This might be something thats small but your hoping you don't lose. Measuring just 3.75 inches square and only 1.5 inches thick, the Bose Soundlink Micro Speaker ($110) produces surprisingly booming sound for such a small speaker. The secret is in the custom-designed transducer, dual-passive radiators, and battery that were designed in tandem as a single system. As a result, this tiny speaker can provide up to 6 hours of clear, satisfying audio per charge. It's waterproof, the silicone exterior holds up well against bumps, falls, dirt, and sand, and a durable strap makes it easy to attach to whatever's around. Did I mention you could use Siri and Google Assistant as well with this device. Available in black, midnight blue, and orange, it can also pair with a second unit for full stereo sound.

For DJs on-the-go, the DJ2GO2 from Numark ($79) is the portable option many need. I know I would. The smallest full-featured DJ controller available is small enough to fit on top of your laptop and is easy to setup and connect to speakers through the master 1/8" output. The DJ2GO2 has a built-in sound card, crossfader, two channels with pitch control, headphone output, and the ability to browse and load songs. It's ideal for smaller gigs, as an emergency backup, or for preparing for your next big showcase. Find out more information on Numark website.

Welcome to TCL Playlist-100!! In this months installment and to celebrate the 100th playlist on The Collective Loop.  I have decided to mix the last installment. I have been enjoying the sounds of Future Garage lately and thought why not make a new mix.  Hope you enjoy and don't forget to share!

I'm now going to start a new series of music on The Collective Loop.  Instead of Playlist I'm going to start Series instead and only put out a new one everything 2 to 3 months. This gives me more time to find new music to share with my readers.

If you want to check out any of the other Playlists then click on TCL Playlists in the menu.
