My Studio Gear: Analog Precision for Electronic Music

I treat my studio as an instrument itself. Here is the hardware and monitoring setup I rely on to deliver clean, club-ready masters and deep, textured techno.

This is the Cranborne Audio HE2, a key part of my mastering chain. It's a harmonic EQ that lets me add analog character and saturation with the recallability of a digital plugin, giving me the best of both worlds.

A first look at the AlphaTheta Euphonia rotary mixer. The custom Rupert Neve Designs transformer inside this unit is a big deal; it adds a musical warmth and cohesion to the master output that is impossible to replicate with software.

Unboxing the Pioneer DJM-A9 mixer. Staying current with industry-standard club gear is essential. I need to know how my tracks will sound and feel on the systems that DJs are using every weekend. And yes, my cat supervises all gear installations.

A close-up of my headphone monitoring setup: the Audeze MM-500 headphones and Lake People G103 MKII amplifier. This combination provides a brutally honest, uncolored sound, which is essential for making critical mixing and mastering decisions.

The Lake People G103 MKII headphone amp. It's a clean, solid-state unit that provides transparent power. It doesn't add any color, it just gives my headphones the headroom they need to perform accurately.

Another angle on the Audeze MM-500. These are not hi-fi headphones; they are a professional tool. Their planar magnetic drivers provide incredible detail and transient response, letting me hear every nuance in a mix.

The Audeze MM-500s come in a rugged travel case, which is perfect for remote work. In the background, you can see my main studio monitors and some of the acoustic treatment that ensures my room is a reliable listening environment.

Even small details matter. I've customized my Pioneer Toraiz SP-16 sampler with new knobs. This hands-on hardware is central to my creative process for building unique grooves and textures from scratch.

About Inside The Studio: My Gear Philosophy

I do not rely on software-only chains for final masters. By running audio through the Cranborne Audio HE2, I inject harmonic saturation that digital plugins often miss. This is not about adding flavor for the sake of it, but about using the recallability of digital control to maintain the purity of an analog signal path. When you listen to the masters I deliver, you are hearing that specific warmth, not a software emulation.
