Fab Massimo
Producer, Artist (Dirty Bird, Glasgow Underground)
Since his debut release in 2019, he has created a hype around his steadily growing reputation. In 2021 his single “MY MAN” sky-rocketed on the Beatport charts, hitting the overall all genres #11 and got over 500k hits on Spotify, receiving showers of praise. His follow-up single “Smile for Me” cemented the success with over a million streams on Spotify.
"I am super thrilled to share my complete production process of producing a Tech House track from scratch. It turned out really bouncy and catchy and I am sure you can learn a ton! See you in class!"
Cloverdale
Producer, Artist (Vibrancy)
Cloverdale is High Octane. It’s all about the energy. The late nights escaping the pressures of everyday life. The tunes that set the whole room off and consistently push the sound forward to new realms.
"The right groove is what makes people shake & dance to a Tech House track. In this class I tell you the most effective tricks around Ableton's Groove Pool and what I do if a track feels too static. This was fun!"
Ruede Hagelstein
Producer, Artist (Watergate)
"Vocals and vocal snippets are an integral part of the genre. But not everyone has access to high quality outboard gear. That's why I show you in the box Ableton only how to process your vocals effectively and creatively."
Marten Horger
Producer, Artist (Spinnin, Columbia, Insomniac)
MARTEN HØRGER is one of the leading forces in HouseMusic. He combines influences from classic House, Techno and Bass Music to create his very own trademark sound, which UK's DJMag simply calls "The Future“.
"I follow PML for years now and didn't think twice, if I want to be part of the Tech House Academy. I open the doors to my personal production process as well as some insights and tips on the scene. Hope you guys enjoy this ;)!
