Steffi - In The Studio

Steffi shows us her slick studio full of unusual vintage gear.

Dutch techno icon Steffi made her massive Against The Clock session look easy, effortlessly gliding from synth to synth in her compact studio to create a tightly-wound electro track in just 10 minutes.

After the time was up, the Ostgut Ton regular and Panorama Bar resident talked us through what she did and how she did it, giving us a guided tour of her enviable gear collection at the same time.

Steffi’s got all the classics you’d expect in her studio – a TR-808 drum machine, a Minimoog for basslines – but also a few unusual items, like the Waldorf synth she uses for string sounds and a Sequentix Cirklon sequencer. Check it out above and watch her go Against The Clock.

Really cool. Would appreciate more of these "post ATC breakdown" style videos! This episode was one of the best for me. Thanks to FACT and Steffi

More in the studio tours, i love hearing about the choices of gear and how they use them. Super fascinating.

By far the best episode of against the clock I've ever witnessed

I love vintage synths but after spending a ton of time in the studio lately, I feel like the star of this video is the chair. That thing looks so comfortable!!! She is very talented and I love the track. Definitely going to start checking her music out.

One of the best short studio/gear talkthroughs. I really enjoyed it - thanks.

Just about a perfectly curated selection of gear in Steffi's studio. Couldnt ask for much more.

Great accompaniment to the ATC episode. Please do more of these!

[chrishurst]

So awesome. Love how relaxed her approach is. Something to keep in mind. Thanks Steffi!

[mishpult]

punch in the face of the ignorants dissing her ATC sesh for being basic. Sit and learn how much it takes to leverage this sound

[gabrielhaggebrink]

Thank you for watching! *literally the awkward seal face*

Traumhaftes Studio. Alles da. Schön viel analoges Zeugs. Und sie (Steffi) ist sehr sympathisch.

[fabrialbo]

The Ult Sound DS-4 Custom is fantastic!

[buriedintime]

[MontyRock]

You know you really made it when you like to use your Minimoog just for some basic drumsounds! :)
