The 909 Drum Machine and its place in House & Techno
If you're reading this it's likely that techno is a big part of your life. It is for me. It is for all of us at 6AM.
There is NOTHING we crave more these days than being back on a dark, techno dance floor with you all.
What defines techno in your opinion?
While your answers will vary, there is no denying that the Roland TR-909 Drum Machine is the one piece of gear that defined techno when the genre was created, and continues to define it to this day.
Introduced in 1983, the TR-909 was the first Roland drum machine featuring both sampled and analog drum sounds that have since become staples of techno and house music.
Every September 9th the techno community celebrates what is known as 909 Day, honoring the drum machine that defined techno.
Today, we are launching our LIMITED EDITION TR-909 Collection, featuring a t-shirt and hoodie paying homage to the TR-909.
Check them out here at the shop, we think you're gonna love them!
Both are available for pre-order now so that you receive them in time for 909 Day on Sept 9th.
