So, happy Free Stuff Friday! This week, we’ve got an intelligent drum sequencer based on a formidable piece of hardware, some minimal techno grooves via a series of 808 loops, and a set of unique samples from the Australian Bush.

Groove is the Minimum
While the 909 might be the king of harder techno, when things get minimal and spacey, it’s all about those deep and hissy 808 sounds. For example, on Plastikman’s classic “Plastique”:
