KiNK - Against The Clock

[@kink303]

wow, so many negative reactions, but it`s motivating! Just a quick note, I didn`t realized the video is for this format, so I made a free interpretation, I had no instructions. I didn`t filmed the preparation, because, patching the synths and making the patterns is easy. I put an accent on keeping the (unedited, unstable) vocal in sync, while developing a basic composition. It was more fun making it than looking at it now, but that`s the risk of the live recording, thanks for watching :)

[@andredimune6125]

no body is perfect broh you are a souch a good dj and producer =)

[@iancain6647]

Kink bro! You're the best!

[@giorgikvitsiani3363]

They just don't understand🖤

[@jukesjointOG]

I still love this performance. I return every once in awhile for inspiration. Like just now; still inspiring!!

[@philippebarnell490]

Your track is amazing man, I love the modular synth you're using ! Don't care about the negative reactions, they're useless ! keep on making such a good music Kink :) cheers

[@180fact]

It's made pretty clear in the text, too, that this is something different: "did things a little differently: he sent us a video, filmed by Boris Katzounov, of him using vinyl acapellas and his armoury of studio gear to show off what he does for his live show in five minutes" Amazing how many people can't read three paragraphs of text before commenting. We love the video, and it's great to have Kink as part of the series, regardless of how strictly it sticks to the brief.

[@bobboberson40]

I have been binge watching the against the clock series and this is the best one yet.

[@kink303]

the two black boxes with wires, MFB Urzwerg Pro (the sequencer) and MFB Kraftzwerg (the synthesizer)

[@sebanetchannel]

Master Kink,, you are the winner of this channel,, because while others artists are pre-making a track, you play the final mix track in real time,, jjaja

[@MarkusAudio]

The best "Against The Clock" i´ve seen so far :-)

[@kink303]

nice that the people take music making very seriously! I think what I do is just a nervous tic :) Sometimes in such installment you need to edit 3 settings and fix the turntable speed at the same millisecond, while planning the next development of the composition. I have only two hands and my brain is still not perfect in multitasking :) so, after watching my videos, i noticed that i do more moves than needed, when i`m excited and i try to handle something that`s not so easy for my posibilities

[@stoffenl]

Respect for keeping the analog Mackie 8-bus consoles alive, they have a special place in the history of modern dance music.

[@jukesjointOG]

Your fader technique should be studied at the university level.

[@Guinneissik]

@@jukesjointOG My friend and I've been discussing about it for years

[@FelixvonMontfort]

Excitement is allowed :) Very good job! I'm kinda jealous of your skillz.

[@TökMindegy1]

Kink, I love your work, no matter what. Dont even know if you will ever read this, but got to tell you...the tracks you did with Raredub are just on another level. The track Endoephins gives me goosebumps everytime. Thanka for being a DJ/producer!

[@TheColonyRed]

this was the only "Against the clock" i watched all the way

[@adnauseam23]

When playing the faders be sure to add extra dramatic movements

[@wlm4144]

Man, that's just his way of getting a fader up, he makes it sure that way that he is in rythm and that the increase is constant ;) pure genius, no dramatic moves

[@Deimos365]

To compensate for the faders, trying to keep it smooth. Needs a rotary, really.

[@urbanjunior]

your a funny guy ha. watch how jeff mills is doing it. i doubt that the reason behind this is drama because they don't have time for this ;)

[@Josh_GS__]

Deimos365 thats why he does the same moves with the rotaries

[@TJE303]

hehe

[@grooveshackrecords]

KINK IS A LEGEND 🙏❤️ Master of live performance

[@acecatman]

those faders look really hot, the board must be overheating or something

[@MaartenHaaseTrouwfilms]

It's just a technique to have more precise control ... I do it very often... It's just intuition... Not sure if t really improves things..

[@go6371]

+acYm he's just psyched

[@gaborpetroci]

Hahahahahahahahah :D

[@isth566]

No it's VCAs, means that's only controling volume faders. No audio through

[@clydiscope]

hahahahahaha!!!!!! hilarious!

[@waynecsmith5145]

Hot mix and really good for people to see that this ain't easy...

[@girlslikemachinestechnotra8869]

The best against the clock I have seen. Together with Tangerine Dreams recent session, the highlight of this series.

[@MrKetaPan]

impressive way of working the groove live!! very exciting, even though the music is not my style. but you can tell, this guy knows what he is up to and lives up to his own passion! lovely!

[@kemicon]

Wooooow. That was rad. Real time madness. Original one trackers!

[@schepler2]

Looks like he single-handedly keeps MFB in business! Look at all that MFB gear!

[@alanlawson5126]

Absolutely inspirational - what a treat from an absurdly talented individual. As for the negative comments - i swear jimi hendrix and the beatles could come back from the dead and play their greatest set ever and some arsewipe on youtube would be like "that's shite" - get a grip

[@natura808]

Best one Against The Clock for me so far !

[@Jonnyhertz1]

the hot-fader style by Kink guys!!!the king

[@dylannau]

This is Awesome! But blank slate? I don't know….

[@yannloutfjammes2539]

"sample may be prepare in advance" ...

[@oracle-0018]

Analogue madness. Drooling over all of those boxes!!

[@AddRiftMusic]

Best ATC I've seen and heard.

[@marctronixx]

agree

[@chisel316]

I love seeing all those MFB devices. The MFB Kraftzwerg was my gateway drug into the world of Eurorack long before this video was posted and still remains the heart of my modest 12U system today. Peace \/.

[@ucewillis]

Surprised none of them stopped working during the set. MFB sounds great but doesn't last long

[@djonotv]

Man!, this was already done before the time began to run but the scratch is just amazing

[@mstacks]

Man i love this guys technique, great video

[@markchristopher2signal2]

Right on... Splendid.

[@SoulfulElectricity]

very very nice, KiNK you're still my hero :)

[@aSpeaker2BlocksAway]

This is a real nice setup to be creative and musical!

[@trkydickinson4093]

very good :) its nice when you see how much work the dj , artist :) actually puts in x

[@christopherjones5651]

This guy is so dope, been waiting a long time to see him live and I'm starting to run out of patience!

[@alieustiansamateh6401]

Just beautiful ❤❤❤👏👊😍✌🌞

[@innate-aec]

wow that was by far the most interesting of the lot. awesome tune.

[@bedpicnic7889]

I think it makes sense that he is lightly tapping knobs/faders so that they move slowly and changes are more subtle. I don't get what the big deal is. You can audibly hear the difference. Sometimes he taps something for a few seconds and does not move it, then moves on to something else. It seems more like a habit of constant movement, than some deceptive attempt at making people think he is changing settings. Or maybe the knobs are hot. Maybe he is hot! He doesn't want the knobs to melt!

[@MaartenHaaseTrouwfilms]

I recognize this technique... I do it myself to.. Most live performance guys are very slow in moving hands.. But some people are kind of overclocked what causes fast impulsive movements, some call it adhd, others ask if you are on drugs... I got the same... But it improves the speed of how you can create new stuff.. But your right.. It's kind of a habit.. sometimes you move a hand or finger to a slider and while you do that you Eddie if you want to turn t or not, resulting in touching sliders without moving them. There is also this rhythmic flow that creates a sort of finger tapping habit..

[@bedpicnic7889]

Painters move their brush without contacting the canvas. Golfers swing the putter next to the ball on the green.

+Bed Picnic Exactly ! Its to train your subconscious so, your action is then automatic

[@15svehlaw1]

nah bro its just super subtle

[@colinbuck3266]

I love reading all the comments. hacks critiquing accomplished masters. I think if you are gonna hate then u have to also leave a link to a track or a video to back up your claim. watch Kink boiler room Moscow and then tell me this guy isn't the real deal.

[@KnockoutKnob]

you are so right. if you like his music or not... he is just really good in what he does.

[@designatedpiledriver8216]

Exactly

[@mikeed7276]

He does some of the sickest live sets and uses awesome gear.

[@Dj76d33p]

@@KnockoutKnob there is one where he's Rave-ing in Slovenia on the one ( or so ) warm days of the year - celebrate w/ a warm coat & a phat set by none other

this is seriously amazing

that's f***ing awesome

[@DaveS-Ace]

This is awesome

[@revolution909]

You kill it man, thanks for showing us authentic talent!

[@brianhein3205]

as much as I love KiNK, I didn't see any live studio creation here. He had all of this prepared going in. That's why these videos are dope, because I get to see people creating all the elements from scratch... this however was more just 5 minute performance

[@ALLRED1999]

deal wiv it m8

[@HOUSEWARMING]

Brilliant series, keep it up.

[@BinxKnight1488]

this is my favorite against the clock

[@enstello]

Why not just have a visual countdown at the end rather than have loud beeping over the end of the song

[@MrMrWilkins]

so tru

[@lucamontefiori4128]

i do it too when i'm mixing and i'm deep in the process, it helps me sort of bring up the fader smoother in a sense rather than trying to bring it up in just one motion over a long period of time, i don't know if it makes any sense but it does to me, btw i did ead the interview and i read that he did cause he just was so caught up in the performance, at the time i just guessed he did it for the same reason i do it sometimes lol

[@diegomello2408]

the song is EDWIN STARR 25 miles

[@lukalotze3584]

love this!

[@Nelsonlevi]

This is absolute madness... 😳

so good

great work. loved it

Hey ! Kink kicked everything what is the mixer ?

mackie 16-8 bus

[@DanielduNoy]

This sounds great and looks cool! You keep on doing what you do best Strahil!

[@jacobgreenland2011]

Cheers for the reply! They sound great. So do you need something running through the Urzwerg? Does it not make any sounds on its own?

[@oscarctv]

this was real good !!

[@CianL23]

Hi. Great performance! What are you using for clocking all the hardware?

[@CianL23]

Is there any MIDI used or is it all CV?

[@kink303]

Robo Crow I dont remember, but i think only midi clock to sync the drum machine. I definitely prefer CV!

[@CianL23]

kink303 Sweet thanks for the reply man! CV is quicker for sure!

[@kink303]

on the other table I have a technics turntable, a very fucked up dj mixer (i dont know the brand) and Electroharmonix Memory Man with Hazarai (its the delay, i use it as a send effect, few times on the vocal

[@nicholasheltzel7439]

best against the clock so far. no computer..... bonus points. I like he is using a plethora of outboard gear. not everyone is making the same ol crap with the same ol daw's. :-)

[@robertandarson5669]

GREAT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@swingdash]

KiNK... any chance of a list of the equipment you used?

[@MadelnMachines]

Is that a Mackie 8 bus? What do you think of it? I'm looking for a cheap studio mixer (1000-3000 euros) and the nearest think I can find that isn't the price of a house and might be a step above the A&H Zed series or Soundcraft MTK might be a Soundcraft GB series.

[@ruslyakov]

Amazing!

[@alessandropablelli]

Definitivamente KiNK tienes para entregar

[@saltiestjoe]

you crushed it man, and your live set is fucking amazing. don't listen to the haters they obviously don't know shit!!!

[@blewup]

Reminds me of Gemini (not the new one). Great vibe, I would dance to it and I've been dancing on the floors of Chicago my entire life

[@rockyraccoon1]

ignore the negative comments kink. that is tight!

[@thefredvonsunesen]

Gr8 stuff!

[@Delenco]

Is this song coming out?

[@mathieusimard]

Why does he tap on the faders while pushing, is there a technical background of that?

[@SlyOneMusic]

his skills are just immense

[@blisswalk]

Awsome!!

[@ticalh76]

what the hell is the intro track?? so sick

[@ericwarr9088]

Damn that's a nice mixer

[@vadha1]

how the hell do you remember what each button on each device will do?

[@SeanMofuckinMoney]

it's not that hard once you work with the machines for awhile

[@FilippoFaleritym]

Sean Keane you're right, i think the same, but i also think that kink is a virtuoso! he can play perfectly the machines, maybe like thousands of other people, but when he play i love the sounds he creates, he plays a drum machine like a piano, and this make him the best!

[@beekay3085]

Does anybody know what that mixer is ?

[@mihu.]

awesome!

[@Perzokat]

nice job !! like the flow

[@thomasdietz579]

Is that a Mackie desk with 16 channels ? :-)
