Mike Dean | The Eighth Night | Moog Grandmother

Earlier this year, legendary hip-hop producer Mike Dean invited us into his LA home studio to capture the making of what would become “The Eighth Night,” a standout track included in his newly released solo album.
Watch Dean flex his production prowess by building the track using sounds created with only one instrument: the Moog Grandmother. Every 808-style kick, bassline, lead, and Yeezus-style distortion effect comes from this instrument recorded in a single session.
Dean's 28-track instrumental mixtape is now available to stream or purchase. For details, visit mikedean420.com.
This video contains low frequency harmonic content that cannot be reproduced via phone or laptop transducers. Use a pair of headphones or monitors for an optimal listening experience.

I vote for a Mike Dean signature Moog

[@j.t2548]

With a Joint-ashtray-holder :D

[@lordundhimself1310]

@@j.t2548 LOL

[@thediamndjvck]

I second that!

[@ROZENHART]

The Grandmother with a DFAM AND A THEREMINI….woooooweeee

[@user-kk6ip3nd8v]

Fuck Yeah !

“LORD FORGIVE ME FOR MY SYNTHS.”

[@wikz_erdna334]

One of the best comments I've read read. Forgive my synths

[@mtd9746]

pouhahahahaha

[@SlavicSon]

Ramen my brother. Ramen.

[@IronWillyChatha]

The grandfather playing the grandmother, what a time to be alive

[@hardcoreherbivore4730]

Ya, normally that's just...ew.

[@user-gx9go2ne1m]

lol

[@DM-rp7ps]

Would that make Giorgio Moroder a Great Grandfather? He was my first intro to professional level electronic music and mesmerized a younger me who still can't dance. First ever was the "Happy Moog" album from a local library, on vinyl back then, I borrowed it several times.

[@brenttauromusic]

Man, when they cut to B-roll of "Billboard #1: Ni**as in Paris" and "Astroworld" - as the snare comes in, and you realize who you're actually listening to. Goosebumps. Straight goosebumps.

[@WriteOnTheMoneyProd]

The fattest beat ever made in cargo shorts

[@davefx7949]

And a blunt in hand.....

[@79Glitch]

WriteOnTheMoneyProd Cargo shorts were in style in the 90s and early 2000’s. Some of the greatest beats and songs were produced and rapped to with cargo shorts.

[@in_10z]

Hey hey...those pockets can hold loads and loads of weed.

[@Clarkkent163]

And a blunt in one hand xD You know, if I were Mike fucking Dean, then legend of making instrumentals, I too would be wearing whatever the tuck I want and I too would be smoking a blunt or two lol

[@auxorion]

@COVID-19 Seattle Probably when he's asleep. (and that's only the last few hours)

[@spencekelly1015]

best part = @4:24 you are witnessing a light bulb go off in mike's head as he realizes what he's going to lay down next in the solo. such a cool thing to see happen in real-time.

[@gullerod123]

Mike Deans studio is omnisphere in a room

[@jwizdum2103]

Someones gotta make sure we get a Mike Dean and Hans Zimmer scored movie before they die.

[@SlowDescentToWild]

A. MAZ.I NG... Mike Dean is a force of nature - and I'm feeling so good about having a Grandmother right now... It's the purest, most organic, living beast of a synth my frail fingers have ever touched

[@tuneboyz5634]

:O

[@mixn5919]

what a fantastic way to sell your products, honestly. moog's marketing is top tier. they don't fuck around, they just show you how it sounds and how pros like to use it.

[@ericbelluche9503]

Kudos to whomever shot and edited this piece. Well done!

[@mlp759]

The Weeknd Album produced by Mike Dean we need that

[@TehSyneS]

these videos of Mike Dean are iconic.

[@andrewkigen]

I'm in love with his soundscapes. They build whole scenes in my mind and get me into a mood for writing.

[@andrewkigen]

Like this one feels like a struggle but I'm refusing to loose and in the end I come out of the water and I'm like "You can't drown me"... And now I'm out for revenge and I'm like; "Better say your grace, Better say your grace I'm out for revenge sign me up for the chase I'm tired of runnin' got my boots by the lace...

[@SanderAnderon]

perfect 4.20, right on Moog

[@prospectnyc]

Damn! I love when Moog showcases bad asses. This, the Trent Reznor, and the Corey Henry Moog videos are the best. I watch them repeatedly.

[@chaosme1ster]

You're forgetting Mike Dean's "Grande Faucon" with the M32's...

[@michaelbevel8539]

I just ordered this and then this video drops. Lol.

[@murphyjulian7393]

Michael Bevel it changed my life!!

[@justinupchurch1773]

[@AlexanderRoseOTC]

This is TUFFFFFFF. Mike Dean doesn't get the flowers he deserves !!

[@hamacaboy]

Man i just love this guy and his amazing raw talent piled on top of his being an incredible engineer and mixer. Its a mind boggling talent and he is unrivaled!!!

[@TV-td9ts]

This legit brought tears to my eyes. I am absolutely in love with sounds. The emotions they can invoke, how you can find new textures in every corner of life, just makes me want to continue this audio journey, every time I hear music it’s like my brain starts firing off

[@sunwillfollow]

i feel this same way 💯

[@RunnixisFuture]

[@mike_qbik]

[@brianmashak7191]

[@thefrankcoda]

The whole video is super inspiring. Always love to see how Mike's approach to writing songs is!

[@PatchDog]

Moog, Neve, SSL, Tubetech & Mike Dean are the perfect combos.

[@frnzilla]

This is the most haunting and beautiful things I've ever heard.

[@Mrpsblobsoflowendmung]

[@augustodiniz1051]

Watching this high is the best thing I've done in my live

[@Theanalogwaffle]

I had a moog grandmother for a while, and I managed to make nothing even close to this 😂

[@mphompho6460]

Mike is Goated.

[@KD9-37]

this is an incredibly insanely underrated work of art, but I'm happy it exists

[@denishdahariya]

personally i will never believe that he's just a human..... this guy has crossed all the levels of a basic human. He's into that godly territory now. Mike Dean The Music Mastero

[@darkjusticemedia5621]

He ages like a cyborg too

[@otskimus]

Mike Dean, analog synthesizers and a joint. Iconic.

[@feelingevaporated2912]

It’s a blunt lol. Swisher

[@vr4ever645]

@0:33 that happy accident is the dopest sound I heard in a while!🔥

[@DanPerezSax]

Idk why this isn't the first recommended video when you're searching for stuff about the Grandmother. I mean, sure, I already bought it anyway. But I don't need the technical reviews, I can see what the functions are. To hear the thing in real action is where it's at, and this is a spectacular demo!

[@chamachakanga4334]

Mike Dean the “Underground King 👑 “

[@MakingMadBeats]

Mike is simply a monster!

[@spacecash9721]

Thanks Mr. Dean

[@josephdouglas6260]

The Sound is a whole 'nother Universe...

[@downrodeo353]

Finally! I was waiting for this since the release of the grandmother! Thank you Mike Dean and thank you Moog!

[@Tom-vb1gh]

A master at work. P.S. Moog, I dig the new relatively bullshit-free marketing approach. Thanks.

[@in_10z]

I love Mike D's Moog vids. Genius behind the beats and keys. There are not many YT vids I will repeat over and over, but his....yes. Thx Mike.

[@GoodxJ]

That was ABSOLUTELY an instant impromptu classic! TOPS on my list right now! Moog knocks ANOTHER one "outta da park" with the Grandmother! CLASSIC analog synth sounds along with that deeeep bass they've ALWAYS been known for! Play ANYTHING for me and I'll pick out the Moog bassline every single time! LOVE IT!
