his years of experience and hands-on-the-gear approach aside...
what i'm saying is i've played with a fair amount of 909's and 808's in my day, and they sure as fck never, ever make the sounds he does, nor do i ever get any pattern that fantastic. he's doing something...

Jeff is just straight up funky.
I know some of the gear he uses besides the obvious drum machines and i'm still baffled. He's a natural left handed drummer and doesn't just stick to 4/4 time on a drum machine. Jeff is a straight up freak of nature and allot more of a minimalist than allot of minimal techno artists. He's a fucking alien!

aww nice to read stuff like this, you really made my dayhydrogen wrote:when i think of this kind of quality of music and mnml.nl forum the first thing that comes to mind is nakoradiomies... really good stuff here and in the similar vein. http://soundcloud.com/nakoradiomies. The only thing i can come up with is a fully hardware driven studio driven by live performance and execution.
Seems like the stuff he has up now is on more of the dub tip... (i've heard a bunch of different styles from him) but the vibe, creativity and sound quality is there. I absolutely love this quality of sound. As far as I know its all driven by music knowledge, performance and specific hardware.
