Handcrafted by one of the most respected names in underground house and techno, Analogue Underground brings you 512MB of deep, raw and dark sounds connecting the dots between classic Detroit, contemporary Berlin, and the hard-hitting UK sound. With Analogue Underground, we wanted to go back to the roots of techno. We wanted to get back to an old school way of working, moving away from the computer and instead surrounding ourselves with hardware and getting our hands dirty across countless hours of live jam sessions. Using a mix of retro and contemporary synths (from the Roland JV1080 to the Oberheim SEM PRO), assorted drum modules, and hardware sequencers (Stepper Acid Sequencer and MFB Urzwerg Pro MK2), the collection celebrates man and machine working in total harmony. While the samples capture the sessions’ raw live vibe, usability and flexibility lie at the heart of the collection. All loops are precision-cut, tempo-synced and key-labeled so that they can be used instantly, with minimum fuss and maximum inspiration.
In the beats you’ll find expertly-mixed full drum workouts served with the associated stripped stems (kick/snare, percussion, hats, kick-free) so you can build your own beats from scratch with ease. An additional folder of percussion loops—plus a choice selection of drum hits—puts even more beat material at your fingertips. The melodics have an uncompromising character that reflects their hardware sources: folders of gritty and distorted bass grooves, twisted arpeggios, dirty synth chords and glitchy leads supply melodic ideas that channel the disparate sounds of Detroit, Berlin and London. Throughout the collection you’ll hear the synths, vocals and FX have been processed through a slew of outboard units, including the Boss Space Echo, Mr. Black Supermoon reverb and Moogerfooger phaser, to complete the authentic analogue vibe. It’s time to ride the Analogue Underground.
