PlantsSystem-Sequence01

video upload by plantssystem

"PlantsSystem latest work, 'Sequence01,' is an electronic track that intertwines the warmth of analog with mechanical rhythms.

It features a minimalist worldview created by the organic synth sounds of the Prophet-5 and the precise beat programming of the MPC-2000.

As the title suggests, this work, which is themed around the 'sequence of sounds' itself, embodies PlantsSystem's distinctive aesthetic of finding subtle variations within repetition.

PlantsSystem-Violation

video upload by plantssystem

"I recreated Akira Mitake classic track "Violation" using the Akai MPC-2000.
While preserving the tension and beauty of the original, I've used sampling and beatmaking to create a new texture.
I hope you can experience the unique groove and lo-fi warmth of the MPC, as well as the atmospheric feel that floats between the sounds.

Equipment Used: Akai MPC-2000
Original Composer: Akira Mitake
#Violation #AkiraMitake #MPC2000 #Cover #Beatmaking #Sampling"

Tech House on M8 Tracker Model:02 & MPKmini : Selectable 2025-10-05 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"A piece created with ‪@Dirtywave‬ M8 Tracker Model:02 and ‪@Akai_Pro‬ MPKmini. Tech house where even kicks and intricate synth tones pass through filters and delay.

The MPKmini is used to control the M8 via Ableton’s MIDI thru. The knobs on the MPK control the filter cutoff of the synth tones and the DJ filter cutoff.
The keyboard is used to play the M8’s MACROSYNTH, with the arpeggiator turned on to generate detailed phrases."

Cosmic Ϟ Computer - Programma Jam

video upload by Saß

"Today, I have a DAWless jam for you made mostly with the Destiny+ Programma 900 2.0 and Akai MPC Key37. The programma has such an evolution throughout the song that it really creates a nice ambient melody to be accompanied by the punchy drums and heavenly Mellotron choir from the MPC."

"The legacy of MPC has always been shaped by the people who use it and the musical magic it's been used to create. That’s why we brought the new MPC Live III directly to top MPC producers and artists across the globe... to hear their honest, unfiltered first impressions."

Inner City/Big Fun (Circuit Rhythm Instrumental)

video upload by Guinan

"Written in 1987 and released in 1988 Inner City’s ‘Big Fun’ was one of the first big crossover hits for House music internationally. Composed with minimal equipment and featuring Paris Grey’s iconic vocal, it set the template for many imitators and subsequent hits.

In the interview below Kevin Saunderson states that all he wanted to create was a track that could be played at the Paradise Garage, the birthplace of House. Nearly 40 years later it can still fill a dancefloor.

Much of the essence of the track comes down to the sampled sounds used. I’ve tried as far as possible to use the original sound sources for my samples and have recreated a version that fits the track into the Circuit Rhythm. What you hear (on both the instrumental and vocal versions) is recreated entirely on the Rhythm and recorded direct from the audio outs. See below for more details."
