We're always proud to present hand selected techno music. But this is a double whammy. Not only is ACM a local Melbourne musician, but he also plays live using analogue hardware and no computer.

He originally begun as a DJ (and still does when booked to do so), but transitioned to a hybrid DJ/Live setup after seeing the way Jeff Mills performed in 2013. Since then, he's gone down the full analogue path for his live sets.

We normally request mixes/recordings to be done exclusively for this podcast, but with the amount of recent articles downplaying the effectiveness of live techno, we are compelled to offer a solid counter argument.

A run down of his setup is quoted here from his interview on whonosmusic.com:

"The heart of my live show at the moment is the Arturia Beatstep Pro – this is the main sequencer for everything. For drums I use a Vermona DRM1 and an MFB 522. The majority of my bass lines come from the Moog Slim Phatty but I like to take the Korg Volca Bass and Mochika as back up. For arpeggios, pads, leads and all sorts of other whacky stuff I use my Roland System 1 and Korg MS2000r. I’ve also got a Kaosspad in my setup for its variety of delays and reverbs. That’s everything at the moment."
