In this masterclass, Swedish techno producer Lakej, known for his dark and gritty-edged tracks, delves into his sound design techniques. He emphasises achieving more with less, demonstrating how to layer sounds and utilise resampling to create complex textures. Lakej explores both textural and atmospheric sound design, sharing methods to craft immersive sonic landscapes that define his signature style.

Focusing on workflow, Lakej discusses the advantages of working entirely in-the-box while also incorporating modular synths to enhance creativity. He provides insights into processing techniques, particularly the use of distortion to add character and depth to tracks. Additionally, Lakej offers a breakdown of two tracks from his latest Semantica album, “A Flawed Belief System,” providing a behind-the-scenes look at his production process.
