For more than a decade, Pig&Dan have been jamming in the studio, producing musical adventures that hold their signature sound. Apart from their prolific work as producers, they’ve been traveling the globe as peak-time DJs and playing at some of the best events on the planet. They’ve been smashing it up at Ultra, Tomorrowland, and Awakenings, just to name a few, plus blessing the decks in legendary clubs such as Amnesia Ibiza, Crobar Buenos Aires, and Womb Tokyo. It’s clear that their euphoric-pumping sounds have lifted the roof on a global level. Pig&Dan’s productions have been released on renowned labels such as Sven Väth’s Cocoon Recordings, Slam’s Soma, John Digweed’s Bedrock, Monika Kruse’s Terminal M, and Richie Hawtins Plus 8.
1. What’s the first thing you do for inspiration when you get into the studio?
First, set the mood. We work from early morning so we feel good and fresh. However, I keep the studio pretty dark so we can concentrate more on the sound and get into a good nightlife vibe. We also have a lot of funny mascots hanging around.
2. Favorite or newest piece of hardware/software in your studio?
Really loving the Micro Korg. We usually work more with soft synths so our creative juices flow easier, but this little puppy is great fun and sounds deep and dirty.
3. One synthesizer you wish you owned?
Honestly, between us we’ve had pretty much all of the old boys over the years. I used to work in pop music as a programmer and bands used to lend me their live set-ups when not touring. Right now, we do have our eyes on a Moog Sub 37.
4. Your go-to DAW?
L O G I C.
5. Newest audio technology you’ve heard of?
Not really that nerdy about things like that if I’m honest… however I have been reading about Dolby AC-4 recently.
6. Your favorite website?
Hahahaha, now that’s a secret… lol 🙂
