„On The Move“ on Suol Summer Daze 2
My contribution to the compilation of the Berlin based label.
Korg Poly 800 VCF+CHORUS IN MOD
My first ever synth and also the first to be touched with the soldering iron:) Used the Moog slayer mod with filter FM and also came up with an input to the juicy chorus effect. Legowelt himself described a modification to the joystick where you remove a spring and use the vibrato/filter LFO without holding it all the time…its a nice one too!! http://synthmod.net/korg/moog_slayer/ http://www.strellis.com/poly800.shtml
HOHNER drum performer – the german linn drum – 8ch output mod
This lovely linn drum sounding drum machine with 24 sounds and a lot of interesting preset rhythms and fill/break variations. the programming is fantastic and uses a very lively feel (they call it a built in humanizer function). I added an 8ch output multicore cable for arranging and mixing down those instrument groups in a more flexible way.

Whether taking apart his own gear, or modding others to extract new sounds, he is a producer who takes a hands-on approach to making music, revelling in the systems and simplicities of…read more
Jacob Korn – EP3 out now
The German artist continues his run of EPs for the Dresden label with a “tasteful four-tracker.” Jacob Korn was once an all too familiar name on the pages of Juno Plus thanks to his alignment with Uncanny Valley and Permanent Vacation, to previous releases finding a way to Dolly and Running Back. In 2012 Korn made headlines with the You & Me album that, alongside Christopher Rau and San Soda, took in cast of collaborations from the Uncanny Valley crew including a track from instrumental beatmaker Cuthead, who only recently…read more
Fact TV – Against The Clock
German house and techno don Jacob Korn goes Against The Clock. Jacob Korn has been blending techno, hip-hop and jazz since he went under the name Granufunk, but it’s his sample-heavy productions as part of Dresden’s Uncanny Valley crew that earned him his status as one of Germany’s best house producers. In his Against The Clock session he shows us some of the studio magic that’s earned him releases on Running Back, Permanent Vacation and Steffi’s Dolly Label, laying down a peak time house track in under 10 minutes that blends the best…read more
