Producer and DJ Aquarian steps up for the latest episode of our Electronic Beats Tech Talk series. The Canadian artist is most notably known for his productions on labels such as Dekmantel UFO Series, Bedouin Records and his own Hanger Management, as well as a collaborative project alongside Deapmash called AQXDM for fabric’s Houndstooth. Aquarian’s music has traversed through genre’s over the years with a focus on Techno and Breaks initially, while more recently Drum & Bass productions have been his focus.
Here Aquarian walks us through his production process, solely based in the box using Ableton Live, cutting up drum breaks and how he instills the dynamic grit into his work.

A love letter to Ableton it is then. Kinda refreshing to see something else than gear fetishizing. Ableton is extra powerful in the right hands and that’s a proof right here. Underrated producer :)

@dom anca i prefer the hands on, hardware kind of feeling i have with physical gear. Tried Live (the DAW from Ableton 😁) and Bitwig Studio, but I tend to get lost in details again and again. But someone delivering a great performance on software is equally amazing to me as someone who really understand his hardware. Neither should be fetishized, neither is particularly better or worse. It all depends on the artist.

Really nice! Didn’t know him, but we have very similar approaches to chopping breaks. Refreshing to see someone using software exclusively! Nice tip for everyone, something I’ve been trying to perfect is chopping op your break and putting almost every chop in a different warp algorithm, with different parameters per step. Normally quantizing it first to 95% 1/8 stepped.

I like his attitude. "What works for me doesn't necessarily work for you". At the end of the day, it doesn't really matter which tools you use, as long as they fit your purpose and you achieve your goals. Best channel on KZfaq, btw... I would love to know how Telekom came to start this format, as it's not really the first thing you'd associate with a telephone company.

I have been a fan of electronic beats for many many many years now, pretty much since the beginning of it , which already seems like ages and ages ago. However, the one thing that I didn't like was all the tech talk was done with producers coming from a techno background, and it was always the stuff with 4x4.. This video is different from its core as it dwells in to a mind of a breakbeat, and I wish Tech Talk had a lot, a lot more videos with a break beat scene artists, as this does come from a slightly different place and a though process.

Finally someone says it's hard to emulate an Akai S Timestretch! Otherwise everyone always acts as if the e.g. Akaizer plug-in sounds exactly like my Akai S 3000i Timestretch. But it just doesn't sound like it! Greetings from Germany
