    people here seem to be misunderstanding something. he brings all this gear because he uses all the gear. its very clear when he actually shows you what he is doing, how he is doing it and the gear he is using to do it." Live" in electronic music is a misleading term but this is as live as you are going to get. this guy is a great producer and excellent performer and all round good-guy

    • @Morne555
      @Morne555 8 років тому +2

      +fitzjay01 i wouldnt say its a misleading term because hes not playing every note/instrument in realtime, the term live can be used for any performance, which doesnt need to be musical at all.

      +Aaron Wilson like, what? People created the house music. Aira is more or less hated by most. Aira will bring back the real house producers ? WTF. Im using a Casio RZ 1 so that means Im totally a real house producer or a fake coz Roland invented house ? Think twice sometimes, or even once, but do it.

      that's pretty naive, thinking that roland is reinventing anything.. there are muuuuch better hardware options than this software in hardware boxes which roland is releasing, but yeah they are cheap, so a lot of newbies can join the joy of using hardware.

    One of the best, most high energy live shows I've ever seen - kept getting random crowd members to come press random buttons on the launchpads to create sequences etc, and would just run with it. Played close to 4 hours and didn't look tired at all, but the club had already exceeded their licence by 40 minutes. Friendliest guy ever to top it off.

    This series is one of the most engaging ever, I don't get so much out of Against The Clock, just some Techno being banged out in a sweaty ten mins. This shows the mechanics of live performance and reassures me my own approach, however limited by economics, is right up there with the best.

  • @worminator15

    To help backup the opinions of everybody here who believes this guy is awesome, the original meaning of DJ is disc jockey, he had applied this classic concept of crossfsding between two vinyl decks instead to his digital laptop situation, incorporating loops and different samples and percussion, KiNK is one of the endless amount of guys who persuaded me that my laptop and I myself wasn't useless when it comes to creating this genre of music, he goes about his music in a unique way, not always brining in the the right loop at the right time, yet, this sort of mistake/intended action brings about diversity in his pieces, hope you see this KiNK so you know that you definitely have some well believing fans out there :D keep it up, especially love your past boiler room sets, get on there again mate! :D

    he is soooo talented, and he is totally Immersed in house and techno music. U can see AND hear that he grew up with it. besides his gifted talent for the leploop (which I envy because I am beginning to make music with it) he uses some boxes (not the most expensive, not the shiniest ones) but what comes out is the whole range of club sound from ca. 81 to 98 in perfect style. AND it is as live as it can be. Made for the crowd to dance. Better than most of this LIVE guys with CDJS and TRAKTOR. Absolutely bloody amazing and NICE:)
    I will book him to VIENNA as soon as possible.

      @Zafersernikli 2 роки тому

      I don’t think he uses VST plug-ins. Even with current MacBook Pros, using VSTs on live performance is a little risky. Considering how many different sounds he use, he probably chose ABL instruments instead of VSTs. He might have a couple of dedicated plug-ins of course, but putting tens of VSTs in a live set is pretty dangerous.

    • @strahilvelchev7063
      @strahilvelchev7063 5 років тому +8

      kinky here, accidentaly came back to this video. I`m still using similar system, 3 years after this video. Main midi clock is Ableton, the other way around TR-8 introduces jitter and totally fucks up the sound of the audio clips, especially those, stretched with the Beat algorhythm. Launchpads - I use one to launch pre-recorded clips, the other - to start recording midi clips. Launchpads are not assigned to channels, as I have over 400 channels now, the launchpads are my "browser" through them. i got about 20 midi channels for recording, launchpad 1 stays in that area. the other i use to browse through the few hundred channels. Each track / loop is a channel, cause i want to be able to mix anything with anything, any moment, with no preparation. Yeah, we missed many details, but I need 5-10h video to explain all.. and im already forgetting a lot of things.. i can remember when people actually ask me..
