Amine Edge & DANCE

Roland TR-8 & TB-3

The Roland TR-8 is the digital sister of the legendary TR-808 and 909. It’s so much fun to do beats with, and is a dream for 90s kids that Roland made come true.

The TR-8 is joined by another new baby. The TB-303 was a dream to make acid house tracks on, and now it’s possible again with the TB-3. This machine is so easy to use, you don’t need to be a genius to do something really amazing with it. We recently did a track with DJ Deeon using only the TR-8 and TB-3, and it was a blast! One of the amazing things about this baby is that it has lot of presets. A lot! Plus, if you are smart, you can use it as a mini controller for another synth or plugin – you will have the acid loop modulation with any sound you want, and your brain is your only limit.

UAD 2 Quad Apollo

This is our favourite sound card and DSP. For years we have used the UAD Neve plugins for the mastering of all our tracks, and we recently bought the Apollo Quad to expand and use those plugins and others on all of our stems without a CPU limit.

Vinyl Addiction

We are vinyl addicts. We began collecting our set of around 1,600 records in childhood with small weekly money, and recently bought the entire collection of DJ Buckley Boland from The Haçienda, which are around 5,000 items of mostly 90s house. What a blessing this brought to the entire collection – a man’s life devotion and passion, and a piece of history. This is more precious than any gold or diamonds.

Rane Mixer and Technics

The Rane MP2015 is the Rolls Royce of mixers, and it’s all rotary. It’s a pleasure for DJs who love the rotary style, but who also have experimenters’ ears. The analogue sound, the filters, the frequencies – it is too good.

We also have a pair of the first Technics, model SL1200 mk2, but we recently met the Panasonic team, who hooked us up with four of the new 1200 Technics units that are gonna be released in June.

Record Cleaner

This is a Moth cleaning machine, one of the best machines to clean records.

Action Figures

Amine is a kid – he loves toys. These are some of his favourite childhood action figures: Rambo, ET, Terminator, Robocop and Back To The Future.
