The Korg MS-20 has been with me for more than 25 years. The sounds from the MS-20 are great and I think he also has a timeless design. Also on the album „Love the Machines“ I used my MS-20 on some tracks. Mostly for confused effects that I still alienate with old analog FX and sometimes for lead sounds.

The recordings of „Love the Machines“ were made in old studios, there was a cell phone ban, as nowadays in the very important clubs of the world. However, I have found a photo here, shortly after the completion of the album. Unfortunately I had not shaved my chest hair yet for the upcoming press photo session.

Dez122018 Christian Quast – Love the Machine, Vol. 1 Pre-order here: http://smarturl.it/mcb5cy The Roland JX-3P has been one of my first synths and it was a instant love. Combined with the PG-200, the internal sequencer and outboard FX means endless hours of fun. In the middle of the 90ties we had 7 or 8 of them. Few of them modified. Today i have still have three + the PG-200. Most underrated synth of Roland. Read more

Christian Quast – Love the Machines, Vol. 1 (Pre-Sale) iTunes: http://smarturl.it/bk76t8 Christian Quast is back with his new project „Love the Machines“. His publications on labels like BPitch Berlin, Safari Electronique or BOXERSPORT (Kickboxer) are among others titled as a classic and found in all charts of the international top DJs again. In recent years, Christian has been one of the pioneers in the development and establishment of digital distribution channels. In 2018, however, the focus was again more on the music production and the first release appeared in the relaunch of the prestigious German label: Force Inc. End of 2018 was followed by the next 12 „on the label of legendary Tim Taylor: Missile Records. A remix of the 1990s classic: Chantal – The Realm. Now it was time to activate the project „Love the Machines“, which had been in the drawer for several years. It’s not a concept album, it’s rather a compilation of what happens in the studio at Christian, snapshots, sessions. The genres are blurring, time goes on and on, but one thing stays forever … The love for the analog machines. Read more

Dez32018 „Love The Machines“ is a project that I have deferred for years, because I just missed the time. It is not a concept album, rather it is an ongoing project that reflects the love of synths and making music in all its facets.

Until then, have fun with the first release. Artist: Christian Quast Release: Love the Machines, Vol. 1 Label: Futureaudio Release Date: 24.12.2018 Tracks: 15 Read more

Nov212018 C’hantal – The Realm (The Remixes) (Missile Records #75) As already announced I am slowly returning to making music and therefore I am more than thrilled and proud to announce that the pre-sale of my next 12“ Vinyl release started at deejay.de vinyl mag .de and this time its a remix done for Tim Taylor’s label Missile Records for a 90`s classic you all will know: C’hantal – The Realm. Release Info: 1990 New York techno/house classic by C’hantal , written and produced by Ralphie Dee and Anthony Mannino. Features the unmistakable accapella vocal performance that launched a million raves. Remixes by Bloody Mary (Dame Records) who fuses her trademark acid and strings with tension created by the looping vocal. While Mr Ties from Homopatik takes on vocal duties himself with his bizarre drum assault version for the wild at heart. Christian Quast shreds the original vocal with his captivating and relentless live 909 remix. ‚The realm has returned!‘ Distributed by Prime Direct UK: https://bit.ly/2R1Eday Read more

Sep282018 I produced these 3 techno titles sometime in 2005. As so often in this creative period, many sounds from the Roland JX-3P, TB303, SH101 and the drums are mostly from the TR909 / TR808. The computer-based production was at the time still in the background and came only supportive for effects or similar …. so these are all live arrangements on the mixer or on the devices. A snapshot! No longer reproducible. As always, the recordings were all taken with an analog console and edited with British EQs. The today exaggerated Loudness problem did not exist even like cheap Online Mastering because in the club primarily the music worked the way it was. RAW & DIRTY! https://open.spotify.com/album/15kpv4IbNFwqjmHK3rJI2P?si=cCdqlY99SvWV_yrf6IWCkA Read more
