Fuse London 2020
Minimal maestro Rich NxT is one of the founders of legendary tech-house club night and label Fuse London, and over the last decade he’s released a slew of chugging dancefloor rollers on labels such as Be Chosen, Pleasure Zone and Avotre. We caught up with Rich to find out how he created Natural featuring Shyam P from his recent album Know The Score.
Natural has a few acid lines bounced as audio in the track. What synths and techniques do you use to create your acid lines?
“One of the things I use is the AudioRealism Bass Line for clean acid stuff. Also I like to use Thesis by Sugar Bytes – that’s a MIDI step-sequencer VST, and with that you can get some great patterns. Then you pair that with your Rob Papen Sub Boom Bass or your Sugar Bytes Cyclop and get really interesting patterns. You can’t just play a pattern on the ivory and have notes that are different lengths, it’s impossible! So you need to come out with things that you can’t play, that’s why I like to use a lot of step sequences with VSTs to come up with these lines.
