Product information "Focus On: Techno Kick Drums – Online Masterclass by Lakej"

In this new online masterclass, Swedish techno producer Lakej - known for his releases on renowned labels such as Kazerne (Mord), Soma and MindTrip - focuses on one of the most central elements of every techno track: the kick drum.

After his successful first masterclass, Lakej now delivers a comprehensive and precise deep dive on the sound design of techno kick drums. From the basics to the finishing touches, he takes you step by step through his creative and technical workflow in Ableton Live.

You'll learn different approaches for:

  • Long, 808-inspired kick drums
  • Short, driving 909-style kicks
  • The combination with sub-bass for a powerful low-end
  • Experimental sound design for customized kicks

In addition, Lakej analyses the low end of four of his own released tracks & remixes, giving you an exclusive insight into his production style. The focus is always on the fact that there is no one perfect kick, only the optimal kick for the respective track context.

Whether you're just starting to build your own kicks or want to develop your workflow, this masterclass will give you the knowledge, tools and inspiration you need for your next techno tracks.
