Techno and house legend Ian Pooley decided to reveal one of the secrets of his unique sound. The man that started his career back in the 1993. is in his studio talking about the piece of hardware that makes his sound so unique and his tracks a choice for so many of underground DJ's, spanning from deep house to funky techno. His discography is so rich that it takes a couple of pages, and you can see it below (source: Wikipedia). He is also running his own label, Pooled Music.
Thos of you who are into electronic music production, have probably noticed that his filtering of samples has a consistent flawor, always sounding exiting in the same time. So here is the secret: Akai MFC42. This is a true analog filter module, designed to be used primarily with Akai MPC 2000, but it can be used to process any sound source really. Ian put it to good use.
