I read an interview with him in the mid 90’s that changed my perception of sound and the use of compression and noise sources. He is more metaphysical than music producer. I could type a long text about it, but basically he described the concept of compression to bring hidden sounds out of anything by recording then compress and record then re compress , over and over . I spent years just experimenting with that , and ended up summoning ectoplasm out of thin air. No joke. It really happened.

Who needs Luke Skywalker when we have Luke fckn Slater 🎉

Loved this so much. Some people don’t understand listening to a 4/4 kick for hours on end getting it just right! Hahah! What a nice dude as well.

5:37 he could just sit and play with those hats along with that hefty kick and I'd happily dance to that for an hour or two 🤣

I saw a break down of Mr Fingers, Can You Feel It recently. It's so goddam simple, mostly composed by hand with overdubbing on cheap tape. And yet, it's one of the top ten deep house dance tracks of all time. We are spoiled for tools these days. A good reminder that talent can make anything work. I rewatched New Order on BBC top of the pops in the 80s the other day, man, it was such a horribly rough performance, but it also kicked ass in the way it was so gritty and real. I'm gonna put away my Push, and get my TR8s out tomorrow 😂

Luke Slater has been one of my favourite producers for over 25 years now. Love his music. I really wish he'd produce some more downtempo though. 4 Cornered Room was so unique and mind blowing for me when I first heard it

Love how he nearly loses his train of thought when explaining stuff. He's an Intelligent man with a lot of sounds and stuff going in that head. 😊❤

he has a very chill energy doesn't he

that's why the 909 is my favorite, this incredible groove and at the same time this incredible power. 🤩

At the top of his game, for decades now. I hope that in 100 years time futuristic producers will ponder over these videos. Like Picasso or Monet.

This is the way to do proper Techno , Experiment and search for your sound ; Thanks to Luke Slater ! True Legend 👽

Legend! I could watch Luke work for hours

Thanks so much for this! Slater’s recent collab with Dubfire is 🔥 🔥 🔥!

Master at work! Love his sound and rhythms! Both, PAS and L.B Dub Corp are amazing projects.

Heard Luke interviewed by the late Colin Favor what must be over 25 years ago. Clementine the opening and dreams of children are still my favourite tunes of his.

Some words of encouragement from within his studio, still so stoked by the like of Luke Slater's inspiration.

Yes, Bring back this kind of techno please.

This and Rene Wise Telekom Tech Talk in the same week!? 🔥

He's a great DJ and Producer ❤ it's nice to get this insight 🎉

«That sets my heart on fire» 😅 ❤🏆

Luke hardly ever does these sorts of things, so this is a real privilege! It would be amazing to see the run through of a full PAS track 🙈💜

Brilliant video. :)

There’s so much knowledge going on inside this man’s brain he just can’t spit it out at the speed he thinks. Wow. ❤

love Luke Slater's record Freek Funk, listens to the beat of a different drummer... 909!

Beautiful, just beautiful

What a legend

What a studio! Jeez.

This man is a True Legend ! This man is Techno ! 🫶🏻 God Bless you Mr. Slater! What an Epic studio! And this oldschool sound from 909 🌹🌹🌹

One of the absolute very best

There must be more footage than this. Great fun!

Slater fan for years. PAS fan for years. Got some LB Dub Corp stuff too. Today I learn they are the same person.

Techno legend!🙏

Heavy easily-distracted professor vibes here. 8 minutes isnt enough. The word legend gets bandied about a bit but surely it applies to this man.

Legendary producer

Absolutely mental! Id pay sooo much to use this studio for 1 day!

Oh man, his 4 Cornered Room as The 7th Plain ... so many gorgeous tracks on there. And it's 30(!!) years since release this year. Listen to "The Needs of the Many" or "Astra Naut-E". That shit hit me so hard, and still does.

Cool! It's amazing what outboard analog processing gear does to the sound of a drum machine. Although I have to admit, the gear presented here in this video is very, VERY expensive!!!

That digital patch bay is essential!

I pulled the (pricey) trigger about 3 years ago and bought the original machine after being musically "socialized" with the #RolandTR909 sound and groove for nearly 30 years. I used samples before, some good, some better. And tbh, I was a tad nervous if spending that serious chunk of money on a machine with "just" eleven sounds. After like two minutes of using it, I was sold and all my doubts were gone instantly. THIS is my religion, there's nothing like it. Its sound, its groove, its workflow. Perfection in beige. 😅

I haven't got to a 909 yet (though I do have all the parts/chassis/PCBs/etc ready to build an RE909) but I did pick up an RE303 last year and I know *exactly* what you mean. Despite the 303 being infamously terrible... it's simultaneously awesome. A real paradox. There should be a TV game show where contestants get 60 seconds to program a melody from a piece of paper into a 303, it would be hilarious

​@@XanderEwald sure, you could read it that way. But people buy "sound source" gear for reasons other than what it sounds like. Eg. I have a hardware modular system because I stare at screens professionally all day 5 days a week and after that I have zero desire whatsoever to stare at a DAW. Yes of course I could use VCV Rack or Rebirth or whatever but ... no, absolutely not.
