Latest release: Human Function.. A deep, dark techno track released on the „Ultrablack of Music“ compilation on the legendary german label Force Inc. On this track i made most of the sounds with the original Roland JX3-P and i used the Electric Mistress of Electro-Harmonix as FX on the HiHats. The Roland TR909 is doing the rhythm and some plugins were used too as FX (Delay etc.) … Recorded as one take without arranging on the computer etc. /// LINK IN BIO ///

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

Spank it Up!

„Spank it Up“ was ultimately one of those songs that was half-finished on the hard drive. The main sequence comes from the Roland JX-3P and was created with the internal sequencer (including live modulations). All other sounds were also from this synth and were alienated with different Cubase or hardware effects. The track was recorded…
