“We’ve used this a bit recently to back up the digital percussion on a few tracks. It produces a harsh cutting top end and heavy bass that fills out the sound nicely.”

“The grey Calrec channel strip unit has a great preamp, compression and EQ. Getting a full-sounding sample initially saves a lot of tweaking later on.”

"What do you remember of the hardware setup you had in the early days?

Andy: We had an 808, 303, 202 and 101, a monophonic digital synth, Akai 950 sampler and a few other analogue keyboards. We hired in an Akai S1000 to record the first EP.

Ed: Also the Oberheim Matrix 12 and Matrix 1000, which were pretty important. Sequencing was initially an Alesis MMT-8 then Dr T’s on Commodore."

"Ed Handley is one of those figures from the story of electronic music whose footsteps we hear on the decks. As we found out at the 2003 Red Bull Music Academy, he enriched the atmosphere of electronica as Plaid and Black Dog during the early ’90s, an era that was characterised by their 808, DX7, 101, BBS, Old Street, poverty and love."

"The iPad is pretty incredible, really. In the last year it’s just started to become really interesting."

"There are some great synths for it now and we recently got the Tenori-On app for £12, which is crazy! Such good value for money and I’ve heard that the designer says the iPad version is more accurate to his original concept than the hardware one.”
