Drumcell
Cut and Trust (Drumcell Remix)
- Label: System
- Genre: Leftfield House & Techno
- Gear used: TORAIZ AS-1
"The AS-1 is compact and I find it very easy to use. When I'm stuck trying to figure out an idea for my next hook, the AS-1 is a great tool to break through and find a new creative path to follow."
Junior Sanchez
Funky Spaceship
- Label: Relief
- Genre: Tech House
- Gear used: TORAIZ AS-1 & TORAIZ SP-16
"On 'Funky Spaceship' I used the AS-1 synth on the sub bass, the SP-16 on drums, and the DJS-1000 on a few sample triggers and sequences."
Kiko Navarro
Vida (Long Life, Happiness & Peace) (Original)
- Label: Afroterraneo Music
- Genre: Afroterraneo Music
- Gear used: TORAIZ AS-1
"The Toraiz AS-1 was a very important instrument on Vida. I was looking for a deep, fat bass sound with that special analog touch and i found it on the AS-1. It has that unique Dave Smith character."
"I fell in love with the TORAIZ AS-1 in early 2017. A few minutes after unboxing it I had a melody that felt special. The next day, I finished the track ‘Five’ – the first song for my album ‘Playground’."
Latroit (Dennis White)
Talk To Me (Extended)
- Label: AKA/ House of Latroit
- Genre: House, Progressive House
- Gear used: TORAIZ AS-1
"I love the pure analog warmth of the AS-1. I use it on almost everything I do now. Despite it being a monophonic instrument, I’ve been using it to build chord progressions one layer at a time – which forces me to be economical and deliberate in my note selection and chord voicing."
Mr Bootsauce & Lok N Key
Be Like You [Pinkstar Black]
- Label: PinkStar Black
- Genre: House
- Gear used: TORAIZ AS-1
Lok N Key – “In 'Be Like You' there were serval tracks of the AS-1 Synth. The analog warmth and aggressive grit of the oscillators fit perfectly in the track."
"You can really tell the difference between an analog synth and a digital softsynth. There are just so many more harmonics and weight with the AS-1.”
Mr. Bootsauce – “I used the AS-1 for the bassline on 'Be Like You'. It’s ridiculously thick and punchy. I now use it as a layer in my signature 'Mr. Bootsauce Bass' sound.”
NAATIONS
Touch Me 24 Bit Master (Radio Edit)
- Label: Access Records
- Genre: Dance and EDM
- Gear used: TORAIZ AS-1 & TORAIZ SP-16
"Using the TORAIZ AS-1 with the SP-16 has changed the way we write music on the road and opened up our studio records to new live interpretations. Plus, both units are just fun as hell to use."
"We love using the TORAIZ SP-16 because it takes us back to how we first started making music. It beats building drums in software any day."
"Sampling and sequencing outside the box has never been easier since the introduction of the TORAIZ gear. It's now a definitive part of my sound, and tracks like Citlalmina would not have been possible without it."
"When I was writing the main idea for 'Eclipse', I was on the road touring. I experimented with the SP-16 and quickly built the whole groove on it using samples I'd recorded. It enabled me to try different arrangements on the fly, just as I would during a DJ set using other people's music."
