GOTH-TRAD (DEEP MEDi, Japan) @ Dubspot - Advice, Ableton Live, Analog Gear +

More info: bit.ly/YYHvZt
Last year Dubspot had the privilege of hosting Deep Medi Musik label artist Takeaki Maruyama a.k.a. Goth-Trad for a discussion on his live performance setup, his introduction to Mala, and his inspirations for creating bass music.
Prolific bass music producer and Deep Medi Musik artist Goth-Trad stopped by Dubspot last year to host a live workshop on his unique live performance setup, utilizing a live mixing console, effects processors, and drum machines/emulators along with a MIDI controller and siren machine. While he was here we also got a chance to ask about his beginnings in the dubstep scene, how he met Mala, and his impressions of the bass scene worldwide. The above video is a recap of our visit with this master of dark and moody bass music.

[@mikeford6611]

prob my fav producer at the mo such a distinctive sound

[@roboto_]

what a chill dude

[@CelestialDub]

I've read heaps of interviews and apparently most of the stuff he makes is sample based, he will sample more rather than using synthesis. A lot of his earlier stuff was constructed from samples cut from vinyl.

[@DrumandBassLinks]

Always with the nice sounds.

[@joao88]

[@unknownuser782]

Wish there was a translator or captions for this one too.

[@darkden123]

4:50 goth-trad was like "yep, i know this"

[@bigfootdannyc]

Commitment, practice and more practice will yield rusults. The musicians coming out the pacific rim have begun, amazing shit will come out of the orient as it always has done. Neogeo is one prime example. Self producing out of India with a large following in the Orient that are Learning from him as they go. Genius is here, genius is on the way.

[@dani4ever]

[@CamperPolice]

cut end

[@Abstraiit]

i would like to know his secrets about the subbass ..

[@Voetsches]

I can't figure out what mixer he is using, anyone would be so kind as to tell me?

[@CelestialDub]

He would probably use a sampler either hardware or software to modify or change samples to his liking.

[@Dubstepmatic]

very creative mixing and matching the pieces of Korg controllers.... Korg was so dumb in its color design

[@widowmakeruk1]

Sampling, hence the sampler he bought! Most big name dudes will sample probably more than use synthesis.. Depends who it is though!

[@theskv21]

Can anyone recommend me some absolute bangers by Goth Trad?

[@gaiatravels3489]

Sunbeam VIP, Sinker, New Epoch, Cut End, Babylon Fall, Itinerant Priest and Saturn are some of my favourite tracks

[@carlosyt2]

I wanna be on Dubspot! :D haha eventhough I use FL Studio lol
