If ever there were a song that needed no introduction, it’d be ”Bug in the Bass Bin,” recorded by Carl Craig under his Innerzone Orchestra alias.

Originally released on Craig’s Planet E label in 1992, it was an absolute game-changer, resonating far beyond the bounds of Detroit techno once pioneering junglists like Goldie got their hands on it, playing it at 45 and incorporating its shuddering syncopations into the foundations of drum ‘n’ bass.

The winner will have his or her remix released on Planet E, and will also take home a prize package including Native Instruments Maschine Mikro, iZotope Stutter Edit, the Sounds To Sample Elements Library, and $200 in Beatport credit.

Description:

In tribute to this capital of innovative music, the Red Bull Music Academy has created a museum-level installation of music production and studio equipment. Over five days, true musical pioneers drive home the most respected records to come out of Detroit, with a different music field explored each day. In these studios, lectures and hands-on workshops are held with the living legends who have shaped the music landscape on a global scale. Two night time events put the theory into action, with heavy dancefloor excursions courtesy of 3 Chairs and a special Tribe Records showcase.

Dave Smith Instruments have been claiming a "late summer" ship date for Tempest for several months now. Well, summer doesn't get much later than this and Tempest isn't quite ready to ship yet, but it is close. "We realize it has been a long time coming, but a complex project like this is not something we want to rush out," said DSI's Dave Smith, co-designer of Tempest along with legendary drum machine designer Roger Linn. "There are a lot of new challenges for us in an instrument like Tempest, but we think it'll be worth the wait."

Tempest is a professional drum machine that generates its sounds using six powerful analog synthesis voices. It runs an innovative, performance-oriented operating system that permits an extraordinary level of control to create, edit, arrange and manipulate beats and sounds in real time without ever stopping play. "We like to think of Tempest as not just a drum machine but rather as a new musical instrument for the real-time performance of beat-oriented music," said Linn.

Tempest will be shipping in limited numbers by the end of September. "We aren't stockpiling instruments for a mass roll-out, and production typically takes a few weeks to get to the point where they can assemble and test a new product in significant quantities," said DSI's Joanne McGowan. "That, coupled with a large backlog of pre-orders, means Tempests will probably be hard to come by for a while, but they are coming."

In the meantime, whet your appetite for percolating analog percussives with this video tutorial from Roger.
