Jon1st and Shield give a masterclass in live music production as they perform their new track, “Holla”. The collaborators use 2 TORAIZ SP-16s to build, arrange and layer the tune with 1 shots and percussive elements. With the AS-1, Shield adds a weighty bassline played through a MIDI keyboard as Jon1st provides additional melodic texture with a dreamy, arpeggiated synth. On turntablist duties, Jon1st also skillfully cuts and blends vocal samples using a DJM-S9, 2-channel battle mixer for Serato DJ Pro and PLX-1000, the professional turntable. Watch their Behind The Sounds episode to find out how the duo created the track: https://youtu.be/w17piWFbeqI Behind The Sounds is a series of films that explore the influences, production techniques and instruments behind some of the most boundary-pushing artists of today. https://www.pioneerdj.com/en-gb/landing/toraiz/
