In collaboration with author and collector Joe Mansfield, Red Bull Music Academy’s beat:repeat NYC highlights 101 vintage drum machines and their impact on popular music over the past 60 years.

Since its introduction in 1959, musicians have used drum machines for much more than a steady beat. What began as a simple solution became a doorway to creativity. Explore the foundation of classic tracks like Suicide screaming over a cheap Seeburg to Arthur Baker setting an 808 running beneath Afrika Bambaataa.

beat:repeat NYC is open to the public on Wednesdays through Sundays throughout the month of May from 12-7pm, starting May 3rd at Red Bull Studios New York. The exhibition is being held in conjunction with the Red Bull Music Academy Festival New York.

KRAFTWERK REVEALED!!!

One of my favourite Kraftwerk interviews ever, because it actually goes through all the gear used on the Computer World Tour (probably their most visually and technologically exciting, from a classic synth point of view) PIECE BY PIECE and explains what it all does.

Kling Klang + Synth Pr0n = be still my beating heart!
