Berlin techno duo FJAAK are known for their killer kickdrums, pulverizing live techno shows and cheeky attitude. We meet Felix and Aaron in the studio to find out how they use Native Instruments’ standalone MASCHINE+ for sound design, sampling and sequencing techno.

FJAAK also explains how they use MASCHINE+ with analog synths and outboard gear, how they tap into its portability when collaborating with other artists, and they give some tips on how they layer and EQ elements to get their addictive sound, which can be heard on labels like Monkeytown and their own Spandau20.

Now it’s your turn to get busy! Download the stems from the techno heater that FJAAK created, and put your own unique spin on a remix with our Metapop remix competition:
