Hiiiiii my friends,

It’s been a while since I posted or uploaded anything — I felt truly creative, to be honest, and felt into a dark hole of emptiness. The heatwave completely knocked my brain offline, but I’m slowly finding my way back.

I’ve built a brand-new live setup, which I debuted last week at Meet the Machines in Hannover. Its mainly made for playing dance tracks, but I figured it works also for ambient music well. The feedback from the Hannover audience was fantastic, even though I wasn’t entirely happy with my performance—I hadn’t rehearsed much, I had sound issues and some of the newly added gear was still unfamiliar (Assembler Mixer and Korg Kaoss Pad 3).

The new setup is actually quite complex under the hood. I’ll dive deeper into it in a separate post, but for now, here’s a quick gear list for the curious:

Elektron Digitakt (Drums, MIDI, Main Hub)

Roland T-8

Roland S-1

Soma Rumble of Ancient Times

Soma Cosmos

Strymon Big Sky

The Pill Pedal

Endorphin.es Golden Master Pedal

Kenton MIDI Thru 12

Cre8audio Assembler

And yes, if you’re wondering: the T-8 is the new kid in the rig 😄 The track ID is “Riding the Edge.” You can download it below or watch the video on my YouTube.

Enjoy and happy Sunday evening guys.

xoxo Mat
