Dan the Automator Gorillaz Deltron 3030 Dr. Octagon Kid Koala Kool Keith Studio TOUR

- In the world of underground hip-hop, Dan the Automator is second to none. Between his work on Dr. Octagon’s groundbreaking Dr. Octagonecologyst and his collaborations with Gorillaz, Prince Paul, Mike Patton, Kool Keith, and Kid Koala, the Automator keeps things fresh on the production side of the game, no doubt.
We visited the Automator’s San Francisco studio to watch the master at work doing what he does best - make sick beats. When we arrived, he was hard at work on a blown-out track using the Hoof Reaper and Fuzz Master General to add character to the stock sounds in a vintage Roland CR-78 drum machine. “That thing [the Hoof Reaper] blows out the kicks, basically, and that’s what makes it really exciting,” he says. “This brings a whole different dimension to the whole thing.”

Mellotron and Pianosaurus were the highlights for me. Old school meets preschool.
lmao
Deltron 3030 is an amazing album, so much talent in the bars and production. Automator and Del killed it. I had that album on repeat for like a year!
I can't even wrap my head around how many synths he has. You foreal just gonna nonchalantly say you got a Memorymoog, Dan?
Saw the picture in the net. Richard D James is sleeping on a deck within decks
surrounded by all possible kind of electrotechnical sound
engineering stuff connected by miles of Chords
Dan should do an album with Danny Brown, it'd just be called Dan Brown
Brown the Automator - ewwwww, thats a scat album
Dudes got a quarter mil in keyboards stacked up in a room.
I was doing sound for a rave off Army in SF about ten years ago, just finished getting everything connected, and I'm bumping Handsome Boy Modeling School as a soundcheck to make sure the bass is right. This guy I don't know is walking around the empty space is on a cell phone, and he starts laughing his ass off. Hands me the phone and says "say hello!", and it takes me about 30 seconds to realize Dan the Automator is on the other side of the call. Funny coincidence!
He's a High Tech Archeologist searching for Knick Knacks. 👍
Deltron 3030 is my shit!! It's one of the few CD's I rock in this modern age dominated by streaming.
'composin musical stimpacks that impact ya soul'
I could easily watch a hour long video of Dan talking about his gear and techniques.
Me too!
I wanna know what kind if mic he uses
@@lordundhimself1310really?? Is this serious?? Lol
Great point about getting too polished with either instrument proficiency or recording can make things kind of robotic. I like the "pleasant mistakes" premise he's espousing.
The Glue Factory is the name of Dan's studio in SF. Such amazing music has been made there.
Head down to Daly City and grab Qbert and let’s peel a few more layers of this onion. Plus yeah, everyone’s said everything about Dan, I *still* can’t get over how he just says what he does and makes it sound like it’s just another thing,you know, a day in the life. Sweet!
3030 and Octagon were groundbreaking and phenomenal. Timeless classics. Not sure which joints he did with the Gorillaz, but they're magic as well.
100%
Holy crap! That synthesizer collection is amazing! This is a synthesizer dream!
Also, props to this man for his work with Gorillaz!
I love Dan so much. Been following his music for years and I've had nothing but mad respect for him. I love seeing his tech and how he produces his kickass music. *crosses fingers for another Lovage album* ^_^
This series is amazing, and so are the people you are doing it about!!! I’ve watched all of them so far and have really loved every damn one!
thanks for watching, Nathan! glad you like 'em!
Such a legend.
absolutely!
"Oh here's my Prophet 10, no big deal"
this is gold homie!, thanks for sharing!..
thanks for watching!
love this video series!
thanks for watching, Matt!
Fuzz Master General, such a killer pedal
Hope it gets a V2 soft switch at some point
dj shadow , dj irie , dj premier , dan the automator mi fav's!!!
This series is great, I get a little nervous when I see these basement studio setups. Automator and Kurt Ballou both have sewer pipes running through these rooms with tons of amazing gear. All I can think about is pipes breaking and ruining it.
Haha great points
Great series this. Thanks. ;)
Dan made so many of my favourite albums.. gorillaz debut, HBMS, Dr Octagon.. he's a great producer, great remixer too. his solo cuts from late 80s are pretty cool too. its interesting in his production too, as they is always a callback to his previous works, such as using Mantronix samples (obviously a huge influence on dan throughout his career) or being a legit Chris Elliot fan.
Awesome

Que hermoso juego de pedales, quisiera unas asi para sacarle el jugo a mi guitarra
Dope....
This is pretty interesting. Found this dude when I was researchin who produced clint eastwood
I wish this was longer...
DOPE
thanks for watching, Miguel!
West coast baby
The electricity bill in cool places like this must be off the charts because it seems these guys never turn anything off? Cool as hell though. Gorillaz are the shit! Love em!
"GOT A GIRL", THE DUO HE DID WITH MARY ELIZABETH WINSTEAD REALLY BLEW MY MIND...
I AM A GUITAR GUY..............I THINK I WANT TO BE A KEYBOARD GUY.........OH MY GOD I CAN BE BOTH WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD!
You can be whatever you want, Ben. Except a troll. You can't be a troll.
i do have to stop and think more before i comment i think i have been guilty of that in the past so to every channel i have ever commented on I LOVE YOU!!!!!
haha rock on Ben! Thanks for watching. Subscribe if you like
Dan is the ultimate badass
Have anyone ever show you there junk?
Dude ha been deep in the rabbit hole for so long he thinks this shit is casual now 😂😂😂
That Knas Ekdhal Reverb unit
yup !
is this where DJ Shadow recorded Entroducing?
TheZooropaBaby That footage of him in his dorm full of records is so dope.
Yes..😀😀
You have to ask yourself, did this place exist when that record came out?
He recorded it on an mpc. It may have been mix/mastered elsewhere, but it was done on an mpc and I doubt that it was in that room.
As far as I know it was recorded in the first incarnation of the Glue Factory, a makeshift studio in Automator's basement. Spiritually the same studio, but not the same physical room
what happens when you turn up and they don't use any EQD pedals? you most likely work that out before hand right?
Someone gets a holiday ham. Not sure who.
just a dumb joke i LOVE these videos keep up the great work!!!!!
THE glue factory!!!
@earthquakerdevices is the eventide mixing link the only tool out there that brings pedals to instrument level or are there others?
the eventide unit is great, and there's also the pigtronix keymaster
So much laughing to 20th second
Head Automatica
That Crowther pedal looked like a Double Hot Cake at first :)
Meanwhile, on the Rock1 preset..
Shout out law and order SVU
earthquakerdevices sent me here from Instagram.
Please, Santa Quaker, please, I'd just like some pedals for Christmas.

I love Ice T.

Like how you just glossed over the Mellotron like it aint shit.
Dude spent 99k on synthesizers instead of investing in a better console.
I've watched a ton of this series today and noticed everyone played around with odd tones, but hardly any of those artists actually use them recordings. Still a lot of presets and boring over-used tones on records they produce when money is on the line. Whatevs.
No amps no guitars:(
