“That was my first synthesizer as DJ Boring that I got, and I love it so much, and to this day, I use it in my live shows, my productions, everything.”
“Number two, I'm tossing up between either keeping the Moog grandmother or the Novation Peak.”
“I've got the Behringer one, but an original Wasp from the '70s would be awesome.”
“I like to chop it up, take a lot of percussion, and then process it myself in a different plugin, or Drum Rack in Ableton.”
Stage
“The first bit of kit I got was the TR-8, It's my live drum machine.”
Plug-ins
“All the vocals in You Luv Me have Transit on”
“I got Reason last year - in the VST format, not the DAW - and it's a game-changer.”
