We join 8Kays at W1 Curates Studios in London as she makes a Beat From Scratch and breaks down some of the techniques she uses when making her signature melodic techno sound.
Born in Ukraine, but based in Berlin, 8Kays mixes progressive trance inspired melodies with elements of techno in her productions. Her music has been released on labels including Watergate, Afterlife, and DTGL Records.
In this episode of Beat From Scratch, 8Kays shares her approach to creating a track, from basslines to melodies. She also runs through the creative process she uses with some of her favourite plug-ins and effects, and dives into the arrangement of her music.
Beat from Scratch is a unique insight into an artist's creative process in the studio. Starting from a blank session, each artist builds a track from scratch in their own style, exploring everything from drum and synth programming to mixing, arrangement and more.
