TekFunk Full Live PA


YouTube via shagghie
TekFunk Full Live PA (Shagghie vs. Ritardo Montalban(aka VictorJohn)) MachineDrums and 303 (part 3)
"TekFunk Recording artist and owner Victor John (aka Ritardo) and Shagghie go full live PA at a house party in San Diego. The table is three MachineDrums (two with custom green Matrix mods) and a very special 303 of Ritardo's. A Kaos Pad 3 and A&H Xone62 round out the sound. We work so well together that two of the MachineDrums were 'ad hoc improve' driven, building each pattern up from scratch in real time. Green MD's customized with help from the esteemed Pavel Kirkovsky. We're currently booking up 2009, so please have your agents contact us via PM. 2009 is going to blow up, with new releases, and live PAs. Thanks to our fans for all your love and support. And yeah, Happy Birthday Bobby!"

Part 1

"Got together with VictorJohn of Tekfunk Recordings and did a killer full live PA with three MachineDrums and a 303...
Thought peeps would like to see the Matrix Green MachineDrums in action... I'm getting more emails about them than I can handle, so please everyone...
if you REALLY want a customized MD like this, I will put you in touch with my Russian tech and we can work a grey market deal on the impossible to source
LCDs... Just go to Mouser for the KingBright LEDs...
Thanks again Matrix for everything... your site is a constant inspiration and source of magnificent synth discoveries for the entire TekFunk crew.
Ritardo and Shagghie are starting to book up already in 2009, so PM me in the forums here if you are on the west coast and are interested...

Matrix Green MachineDrum (Shagghie ft. Bacon the Flying Pig)


YouTube via shagghie

"Sneak Peak Preview of a track called Detroid that Bacon and I are working on. Green MachineDrum transformation was no easy feat, but with help from Pavel (http://pavel.kirkovsky.com), and after many months of dealing with obtuse factories in China...the green display was provisioned, and matching LEDs installed, along with black faceplate with the "Shagghie" logo (artwork by VictorJohn of Tekfunk Recordings). It turned out so perfect that we are building another one just like it as we speak for my live PA's. Thanks for all of Katy Rokit's support as well, can't do squat without her these days... :)
Thanks to Jon of Elektron too, for another great NAMM and for the constant hope of 'something new' just in time for 2010 from the Elektron Elves...I'm sure Dan is going to smile from above!
Lastly, a huge thanks to Matrix of MatrixSynth (matrixsynth.blogspot.com) for all his years of ongoing support to the synth community. This one's for you...from Bacon and I." Thanks Shagghie and Bacon! :)

Update: some more detail from Shagghie: "It's a customized MachineDrum... the displays are no longer being made, so sourcing a green one took the better part of 5 months using google translator and visiting chinese and swedish websites.... the LED's from Mouser. The top is a custom black top. Other than that, it is a MD UW mkII underneath..."
