Plastikman (richie Hawtin) talks to future music about his live stage setup in bestival 2010

At that moment I had just got a 606 drum machine and because the 606 and 303 had been made as companion pieces, I thought it would be a wonderful idea just to lock myself away with those two pieces and some others - perhaps a Juno 106, a 101 and probably some type of sequential circuit Pro-1 or 6-track. I would kinda lock myself away with just those things and record as much music possible over a couple of days with that limited instrumentation.

I have to mention the one [Roland] 101 I had. I was using a lot of Roland devices, but the 101 was used here a lot to create extra melody. I loved it.

I was going to ask what plug-ins are you particularly mad about, if you’d care the drop some names…
Well, we did a lot of back-and-forth testing of all the classic drum machine and bassline plug-ins. For us the D16 plug-ins for the 808 and 909 were the best ones out there. But for the 303 bass lines, I wasn’t actually a big fan of the D16s and for that I really liked the Audio Realism. What else? I’m a big fan of – still - the Native Instrument KONTAKT as a sampler - you can do some wonderful things with that, get inside some different samples.

I had my [Roland] 303s, a 606 and an 808 going here. I always liked to have two different types of claps, and I was always into really small rimshots. There isn't much 909 on there. So much of my work had been on 909s before, so I was happy to get away from those 909 kicks. This track has a nice 303 line. Many of the 303 lines were pitched up an octave.

I had a Kurzweil K2500 rackmount. That, along with the other big synth on this album, the Korg Wavestation A/D, was used a lot on this.

This track, along with Spastik, and a later track called Spaz (which was more 707 driven), were cases of me just trying to see how much I could drive people's mental state and physical states.

I made it with this rackmount from E-mu called Vintage Keys, which emulated all these classic analogue keyboards in one box. I had a lot of different analogue pieces anyway, but I bought this specifically to try and find some strings and washes and sustained atmospheres. I only ever used it once - I turned it on and played this in 20 minutes.
