Hi Friends! If you're watching this video, please leave a comment below! I love reading and replying to as many of your comments as possible! Today video features the incredibly talented Tom Holkenborg (aka Junkie XL)!

[@peterbrandt7911]

You were talking about starstruck, I already felt some shivers in my spine, when you mentioned Daniel Ash :).

[@Producelikeapro]

Peter Brandt ah yes! Daniel is amazing!!

[@gtugland]

58:30 Were you thinking of Pat Metheny?

[@gtugland]

Thanks for a great video!

[@peterbrandt7911]

@@Producelikeapro, yes Warren. Bauhaus is still one of my all time favourites. Daniel and David were not only great on bass and guitar. When they had to sing on "Burning from the inside", it took quite some time to recognise, that Peter Murphy missed almost all of the recording, because he was ill. Although Peter Murphy is one the greatest male singers alive, even if I do not like all of his later work. Speaking of 80's heroes. Is there a chance, that you maybe are going to interview Alan Wilder, when you're in Britain again?

[@gabsauvage]

Junkie looks like a 9 years old boy showing his collection of Star Wars Legos to his best friend

[@Producelikeapro]

haha that's exactly what it felt like!! It was so much fun!!

well man that's it i guess, we grown up,but the important is to keep up playing with fabulous toys

Outstanding interview. I usually get impatient 10 minutes into a lot of interviews. You gad me the entire 94 minutes with both the content and energy. One of your best to date.

Junkie has his own KZbin channel, which is very useful

In The Mix thanks ever so much!! Yes, he is amazing!! It was great to talk to him!!

I never get enough of a tour through Tom's studio's. The man is a legend and a super, laid back, open minded guy. Respect for the JunkieXL

[@Producelikeapro]

HisRoyalRawness thanks ever so much! Yes, agreed! Great Studio!

[@VibgyorC]

here we see warren discovering modular for the first time. pretty soon, we won't see him ever again because he's going to lock himself in his studio, endlessly creating patches. :P

One of the best interviews you've done Warren, Tom is so open and enthusiastic let alone knowledgeable about his craft

[@Producelikeapro]

Agreed Jim! I had a blast!!

[@sansocie]

Jim I agree. Problem is a short time later Warren tops it. He really is a life long learner!

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks ever so much Robert! Agreed! Let's always be learning my friend!!

[@theworkdayrelease]

When we were there, Tom let me play some of those synths and pushing one key was enough to feel like you were in a science fiction movie 😍 Too much fun!

Yes, it was an amazing time David!!

Still can't believe that this is the same guy who"s house and trance tracks I was listening back in 90s and 00s. Thanks for the video Warren. I am a huge fan of your channel.

groovyphonic thanks for watching! Yes, I had a great time with Tom! Amazing Studio!

[@David-ik9yn]

I’m always amazed by the quality of the designs from the 80’s. The engineers were way ahead of the curve. The equipment was built to a high standard and stands up even today. General studio equipment maintenance must be constantly ongoing in Tom’s studios.

[@Producelikeapro]

I agree David! Yes, people were so far ahead of the curve!!

You guys together??? FUGGIT ABOUT IT!!! Awesome! Love ya both, cheers.

[@DynamicRockers]

Tom seems to be a really nice guy. He is sharing so much knowledge on his channel. Excellent ITW thx :)

[@Producelikeapro]

Dynamic Rockers yes, agreed, Tom is quite amazing indeed!

[@SlightlyNasty]

I love seeing the Roland S-50 with the tablet attached - it does virtually nothing but no S-50 is complete without that little slice of 80's techno-cool! I can't remember the last time I used mine in a capacity other than "Hey, check this out..."

[@Producelikeapro]

I know!! The full keyboard and all it's accessories!! Amazing!

Tom sure loves his low synth sounds..You can see there's the most joy whenever he pushes the lowest key on the synths

[@Producelikeapro]

Haha I believe he loves all synth sounds!!

[@splashesin8]

Thank you Tom and Warren! So fun and comforting to hear you guys talking about everything and having fun! Gearing up in the wee small hours here to go do a challenging day. This helps me feel grounded about who I know am whatever a series of strangers might try to throw at me today. I have a secret. 😉❤️

[@Producelikeapro]

I agree my friend! Incredibly informative video content from him!

[@DennisCaunce]

I had a Yamaha SK50D. That was drawbar organ, poly synth, mono synth - all in a bloody heavy two keyboard thing! Loved it... Styling was very much like the first Yamaha Tom showed us.

[@archiebeatz]

Junkie is awesome! Thanks for sharing Warren!

[@Producelikeapro]

You're very welcome!

[@hulkslayer626]

Another reason I love Tom... he's offered a handshake and goes for the hug! Seriously, you both just seem like such amazing, wonderful, humble and happy people. The type of people that just being in the same room as them brings a smile to your face :)

[@Producelikeapro]

Funny thing is I didn't know he was in LA! Haha I assumed he was in the Netherlands!!

[@tb-cg6vd]

What can I say? Possibly the best music chat I've seen on youtube (& I've seen a lot!) - ridiculous studio-tour, geeking-out on my favourite album ever (Crimson/Discipline) and then a natter about the brilliance of talent and human energy that music inspires in nearly all of us. I don't have many heroes but these guys are worming their way in there with their generosity in sharing their knowledge and time.

@@Producelikeapro Will watch the whole video again as his studio is amazing, plus he is so knowledgeable and insightful that it's always inspiring. The hug at the end rather than the handshake was also a genuinely nice finish to the tour. Would love to be one of his assistants editing the audio from his 'Modular Sundays'.

[@Producelikeapro]

Richard James yes, I had a wonderful time with him! True gentleman and massive talent!

Warren: thank you so much for everything you do and for putting out great content time and time again! This is (to me) one of your best interviews ever. Not only Junkie XL is a nice guy, but the way you conduct the interview is (as always) very professional and entertaining at the same time.

[@Producelikeapro]

[@Kevin-vq6rv]

I don't know the details either nor the math, but I vaguely can remember that basically, the Fourier theory says that if you oscillate a sinewave, or let's say you draw a sinewave on paper, and you superimpose all the harmonics/octaves on that fundamental sinewave, you'll eventually end up with a square wave. That means, at least in theory, that if you oscillate a square wave, you can create any possible sound by decomposing harmonics. Cool video! I really admire this man and not only because he's dutch. : )

great interview! back in the day when i studdied at a dutch conservatory he was also a teacher there and he became and still is one of my biggest inspirations. just the way how he likes to tell about stuff and teach you things is so extremely addictive. he knew how to push the buttons on people to make them more active and inspired to write new music and learn new recording techniques. i really miss those days.

[@savanaviolenta]

Junkie XL has the wikiest synth studio ever!!!

[@Producelikeapro]

Yes! Agreed!!

[@David-ik9yn]

Tom, I missed it if you have an original one in your studio. I see that Eventide has a new plugin Instant Phaser MkII emulating the Instant Phaser from the early 70’s. I think that it would be right up your alley. You’d like it as well Warren. Very cool.

[@Producelikeapro]

David thanks ever so much my friend! That sounds quite cool indeed

[@peterbrandt7911]

Still watching, but I have to say, I almost started fainting, when I saw the VL-1. It's bigger brother / sister the VP-1 was demonstrated in Frankfurt back in the day and should cost 70.000 bucks (German Marks). These were the first physical modelling synthesizers and besides the brass, plucked, woodwind sounds, the VP-1 created some sounds I never heard somewhere else. Great interview so far, great guy. Thanks :) P.S. These modular systems are incredible, stunning and unbelievable. Fourier btw. had nothing to do with music. He was a physicist and the Fourier transformation describes a mathematical way to fit sine waves into any kind of frequency as long as it is periodical. This is done by approximation and repetition. I can't explain that in English, it would be even difficult in German :D.

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi Pete, I agree, truly a beautiful room with an extremely talented person!!
