Waldorf Blofeld melodic synth demo

Published on Apr 12, 2018 once upon a synth

"Musical demo of the Waldorf Blofeld Synthesizer. I cycle through a few of my favorite patches (some I made, some stock) and improvise some melodies. The Blofeld is a digital synth that features many types of synthesis like virtual analog subtractive, FM, wavetable, sample and physical modeling. I focus more on relaxing smoother patches in this video with the occasional harsher sound thrown in for balance."

East End Dubs’ custom studio is a cutting-edge synth paradise

Published on Apr 12, 2018 FACTmagazine

"A studio unlike any we’ve ever seen.

London-based techno producer East End Dubs popped up back in 2012 releasing deep house on Kote Records and hasn’t taken a breath since, self-releasing over a dozen EPs on his own East End Dubs Recordings label and curating the Eastenderz imprint while DJing all over the globe.

East End Dubs is also a serious hardware enthusiast. Back in 2015 he decided to remodel a room in his house and convert it into a proper studio complete with cutting-edge synths, modular gear and drum machines. He even dug two feet under the floor to create an air gap for optimum acoustics. Now that’s dedication."

P.S. Created a new Synth Studios label for these moving forward. I'll update previous post with the label as I see them. Until then you can check out the interview label and search on keywords like studio tour and so on.
