- Gavin Lynch aka Matador has a studio in Dublin with a simply inspirational view. In this Tech Talk here on Telekom Electronic Beats TV we visit the producer and RUKUS label founder to hear about the production methods behind tracks on Minus, Cocoon, Perc Trax and more. His synthesizer and drum machine collection contains swaths of recent electronic music history.

This is both inspirational and envy provoking simultaneously. Thanks for taking the time to make this video Gavin and TEB!
Anyone know where he went to college

"Gavin graduated in 2006, after which he set up his Matador project. In the past four years Gavin Lynch’s sounds have found a home on Perc Trax and Cocoon, plus most recently Plus 8, where Richie Hawtin recently introduced the young Dubliner ahead of his first Minus event (at Berlin’s Watergate, joining the Minus team for the official Fly Bermuda after party)."
Blessed be the ones who maintain these instruments alive and support this industry. For the vintage pieces it's no easy task to hunt down, salvage, maintain and ACTUALLY record these instruments.
Matador has the sickest studio and such a good approach to music making. Definitely inspiring.
Such a humble guy and lovely music to my senses. Respect!!
That’s one of best collections of hardware I ever seen in a home studio!!!
All this series of videos are just gold, when Im stuck at the studio, for sure I watch one of the videos and get insta inspiration.Big fan
as a graphic designer I understand exactly what you mean man :D big up matador
Yeaa! I do the same, I want to rich that level one day, you probably too my friend. Cheers
The room you will never leave !!
I come back to this video often, it's just beautiful.
Incredible and inspirational video on how much more there is to be considered in the process and progression of digital sound production. Great to see you in your natural habitat. 😎
I am a fan since the first minus releases.. Oh good God Matador evolved sooo much! Love and respect for this dude!
This is my dreamstudio. That scene at the end.. GOLD.
I like this guy. Real studio folk.
Instant favorite studio tour. Not only did Matador show us some of his workflow and gear setup, but he also threw in practical advice on getting to know your studio space. Much appreciated 🙂
This is quite surprising. I love how he takes care of very specific things such as which pre-amp is using on which drum machine and slight compressing them before the record stage. This is what basically becomes "your sound" regardless of what timeless drum machine you're using and re-using, as long as you make them yours they'll never grow old.
or what timeless $$$$ preamp or comp...
Well actually it doesn’t matter too much. It is just more of a habit. No one will hear any difference.
@@arjanpetersen so true.
I like that kind of gear because it limits what I can do. Thousands of presets on plug ins is too much for me.
what he said about his levels and gain staging from the get go is the number one production tip
First of all, I really appreciate the effort that goes into putting this content out.
Now...I would appreciate highlighting some more minimal, conservative (frugal) studios, which can still be set up in inspiring and insightful ways, and most importantly, can produce great music. I can imagine a well-developed studio under $10k total. Most expensive thing is the laptop. There must be many studios like this. (Mine)
Especially because the music in this video sounds like it came straight out of a daw.
If anything, why not show live footage of him putting things through the manley. Sometimes these videos are a little too streamlined, jumping from cut to cut, showing flashing lights of the equipment, when what would also be nice is just live footage with diegetic sound. Maybe 5 minutes of different demonstrations.
Very good idea here Tech Talk. Include smaller less expensive studios and show how the artist actually works with his instruments.
Yeah and most of all lot of "little" home studio or even God musicians with just a MBP and a DT770 produce songs that sound much better than this.. it is nice to the eyes to see all the greatest analog old school gear we can dream of
But if it's to sound like basics daw kit...
Go check skinnerbox those two for exemple with just a miniMoog and often a digitakt produce live that sound massive (even if it's a bit raw)
And I can't remember the name of that guy but the tracks he produce sounded so analog and huge bass synthwave that I just fixed my goal to sound that well with my analogs synth... What a disappointement when I discovered that he was producing only with a laptop and a midi keyboard ......
LOLOLO We are talking about one of the biggest companies in the world and you act like this would be made by an artist.
@@PARANDROID biggest company of the world?
The best music is created with minimal gear. Look at any successful music producer, Daft Punk, Armand Van Helden, Kraftwerk, Prodigy, Chem Brothers, etc.. they all started with very little and made something out of it. Damn, Drake's making music with rubbermaid garbage cans and he's rolling big time !
Get comfortable working at low levels...been my life for the last few years. And I’m mostly traveling for work, so my studio is on the go. One day I will have my set up look like this. Looks like heaven. I could sit in there all day.
you will have to work veeeeery hard .. 0.0
That is old school. With modern daw’s it doesn’t matter too much. Way more headroom. In older days -18 was a way to go indeed.
Corkonian here , down in midleton.
Love your talent and the set up .
You make me feel normal , I spend a lot on equipment. I dont smoke or drink so that's my drug so to speak.
More power to ya , hope you get a major film score contract. 👍.
Thank you Matador for being my favourite dreamer!
Wow. So much knowledge in this video. Mind blown! Thank you for making this.
What's extraordinary is the creativity some people are able express with so much less. For example, on TH-cam >> Electric Independence: Daniel Lopatin (Oneohtrix Point Never) - Motherboard clip
It’s all about talent and creativity. Gear is just a tool.
Some people are happy with one car, others have 5 or 6. It doesn’t make them better drivers but as long as they enjoy (and can afford) it....
Incredible space. Inspirational vibes. Respect.
Someone speaking about their approach is sooooo helpful my god thank you
Lovely studio, thanks for the nice episode again Telekom. Hope you feature Fort Romeau one day.
We did a feature already but not in the studio 😉 th-cam.com/video/H6t1Oen5LK0/w-d-xo.html
What a nice guy with a healthy obsession!
Gorgeous studio, awesome energy, wise words. Thanks for sharing.
Exceptional sound and exceptional studio. Thanks for sharing your insights.
I heard him on Transitions for the first time and then I fall in love with a track he played from "OC & Verde - solstice" and THEN he was about to play at CRSSD with Digweed and I had to go and see it. He definitely put a better set than Digweed... I loved it.
man., this setup scared me. obviously just the best.
The track starting around the two minute mark is fantastic.
That was a lot of great advice! Thanks!
wow what a studio! Thanks again for another great video! Between this and the Kenny Larkin studio there is a lot to aspire to!
Both studios are dope!
Studio dream goals
oooh man, Matadors Studio is 🙌🏻❤️
Good stuff Telekom - it would be very interesting to see some content relating to the Romanian minimal scene, maybe a 'one to watch' type of video with some of the rising talents in Romania.
Don’t think so 😬 If you follow eb.net you‘ll find some stuff www.electronicbeats.net/?s=romania
@pl0xx0lp which talents for example?
@@ElectronicBeatsTV Too many to list but some which come to mind include Cosmjn, Lizz, Remus, R,hitect, vincentiulian, Vern. There is also a duo like Haokah who I think only plays live. Also, whilst I wouldn't really say they are 'rising talents' , a video on Amorf would be very very interesting :)
@@pl0xx0lp Let me guess, you're from Romania?
@@AlienShine and love minimal?
best studio visit ever ; thank you som much !
Thanks TEB for another amazing video. And thanks Matador, incredible skills and love for the music... inspiring! What's the track starting at 1:47? Reaaally good!!
Gorgeous studio
Can’t believe he didn’t mention the Shadow Hills Mastering Compressor. Casual.
Sherman Filterbank! I was waiting for it to get introduced. Great video though and that sure is a beautiful studio!
BXLrules love my Filterbank. I have the same one.
The Filterbank 2 Compact.
It’s so amazing and sometimes untamable and full of happy accidents
Great studio! Great video.
Love the Devilfish modded TB303!
This is a very well put together video, very motivational and I'm looking forward to producing now. well done champ! =)
I just started its a bit overwhelming at first just dont give up
Great interview 👏🏾 lovely view and dog 👍🏾
Bruh that 5088 console is the real flex
Great studio 👍 Thanks for sharing 😎
Love it! He's such a nerd :)
Holy crap! Amazing!
Super smart advices about gains. As always good video ! Keep it going Telecom Beats team !
From what I could pick up here, I gather this musician has this 'touch'...rather unique sound and after having seen this very fine vid, I understand it all, it all just blends together...it all fits perfectly. An artist, who's intentions are, to make just a beautiful product.
Great studio setup and great advice !
Awww the dog at the end tho!
Many thanks, guys for your such nice work of making this kind of content.. keep up the good work. cheers
by far the most beautiful and amazing studio I've seen, except for maybe deadmau5's
Moog One, CS-80... Okay, I've seen enough 🤯
My absolute dream
You are not alone
Love the way he talks about the Apogee converters - that got me wondering what *exactly* he is using? 🤤🤔
Lotta skank probably 😅
@@tameracz THANKS!! I keep trying to up my recording game. I'm at home studio level, and keep looking for ways to improve. His passion for the sound *quality* matches mine.... These are so expensive, going to research them anyway - Really Appreciate the info, Thomas! 😀 👊
I don’t really know about this dude but did he really afford all that gear by making music like that? It’s not bad, But the gear and the location is insane
Hes was signed to Richie Hawtins minus rec label, really good Irish guy, deserves all his success
Carl cox said that he is the best producer of this decade
IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT THE INTRO SONG?!?!
Have you found it yet ??
"...how many pen do you have in the office, or how much paper do you have? It's irrelevant...because all you have to do is write." This. Just like Hans Zimmer said: "Ideas are not limited by budget, the creative process takes place in your head."
the vocal sample @5:59 is the same voice as from biceps apricots but a lower octave and other delay. :)
beautiful instruments ❤️👌🏾
Proper studio
He seems like a cool dude.
😲 amazing space
Theres like 200k worth of equipment in this studio. How successful is this dude? Crazy...
Only thing I can imagine is that he sleeps and cooks in this room too 😅
Most Grammy winning producers dont have this much gear. He’s a collector that writes music.
200k only for the analog mixer
Matador is well known in the Techno circuit. I saw him play a set at Movement in Detroit some years ago. But yeah I often wonder how much techno musicians like this make a year. I think the gigs is what pays the most?
@@ritec Looks like he plays over 50 a year so that adds up.
what a pro!
Top man, brilliant insight🙏
Gavin is so nice guy, telling a lot of useful tips ! Thank you !
loved this
what a cool guy.
very articulate. thank you.
Awesome🎶🎹🎼
Checked out his tune called Shamen to see if he was putting all this gear to good use. Gotta say yeah .
Bad ass studio.
Well of course it's breathtaking. There's a Moog One in the room.
what about the CS80 ;)
I pray to the synth gods to have a shrine to worship.. like this😢
Cute studio dog!
Genius
YES
I want to go to there.
love these
What a lord! Good tips
Beautiful studio and setting. I noticed that there is no acoustic treatment anywhere yet there is a huge amount of hard surfaces and glass. Does this create problems?
If you listen carefully you hear him talking about this „issue“
I love hearing Gavin Lynch talk. Smart guy, super articulate and unbelievably knowledgeable. You can learn a lot from him without him trying to teach anything
This is how you Techno...
Haha s version of techno in Ireland is that of Richie hawtin or Carl Cox.. Its just nonsense people here in Dublin don't really like that style. He's no Sunil Sharpe, defekt or Ed devan, Fran Hartnett or Amón tobin. He's got some nice machines but his audio isn't appealing to the techno scene in Ireland. He's been in ibiza for ten years nearly.
FUCKING RELEASE THIS SONG AT THE BEGINNING MATADOR!!
BEEN NEEDING IT FOR YEARS NOW AND MY EARS AND MIND NEED IT
This is very cool. My only question is why does it seem to me that all the dance music or electronic music always seem to use the same old tired drum sounds? I would think that what with all this marvelous technology with all these great technicians we could have a lot more variety in the drum sounds. I'd also really like to see less reliance on the standard 4/4 beat. Let's try and get more creative. Please! Pretty good nonetheless.
Jeremy Thornton preach.
There are so many reasons to use them but actually they are very reliable, work perfect with other instruments, and people used to them
There's tonnes of music like that and has been for decades.
Listen to Autechre
there is infinite electronic music w/o 4 on the floor and with innovative drum sounds, just gotta poke around a little
Awesome content! A true artist Right here. Tracks id's anyone?
this dude turned all the lights on for the show
No light, no video 😉
I love this channel.
Amazing
ohhhh my godness
Perfectly Attuned!
Funny how all those people with massive studios filled to the brim with tons of vintage analogue equipment, all produce fairly simple club music that could be made almost as good with a laptop from Aldi...
@@blablubs5596 You saying it doesn't happen?
Exactly
@@blablubs5596 If you think you need hardware to produce professional sounding electronic music in 2019, you know nothing about the scene. Yes, analogue equipment can sound fantastic , but nowadays, you can more or less sound like Vangelis with a decent laptop running Ableton Live and some choice softsynths. Real gear sounds better. But the lines are getting blurred.
Not quite sure what made you lol 😂 can't find the comment
Sure dude. Same analogy as people driving big cars can’t drive. In any case you still have a small tiny car. Off course you get from a to b ... Anyhow it is your problem not his problem. Your mental mindset is flawed.
Awesome!
Sherman Filterbank within reach, at least that we have in common:) beautiful studio!
awesome vid
The most envious part of his place is big window looking outside.
Unreal
