Retro Jungle Production Techniques With Pete Cannon

The sound of jungle drum and bass is intrinsically linked with the computers and samplers of the ‘80s and ‘90s. We talk to jungle drum and bass producer Pete Cannon in this exclusive SOS Video Feature, about his retro jungle production process and how and why he’s still using Akai samplers, Ataris and Amigas. Pete Cannon discusses the history of sampling in the jungle scene, and how samplers like the Akai S950 and S1100 (as used by scene legends such as ShyFX and Liam Howlett from The Prodigy) have become synonymous with the genre. Pete then outlines his favourite jungle production techniques, with tips and tricks on how he uses his Akai sampler, a tutorial on how to recreate classic synth chord stabs, and onto sequencing a drum and bass track using OctaMED tracker on an Amiga computer.
