808 story

Based on the Roland TR 808, the 808 is really known by the rest of the world with the classic “Sexual Healing” by Marvin Gaye. Gaye was in exile in Belgium, following a stormy separation with his wife and problems with the American tax authorities. He got his hands on the drum machine and wrote the hit for which he won 2 Grammy Awards.

From Hip-Hop to electronic music, the 808 samples can be found in many of today’s popular genres: R’n’B, Techno, EDM, Trap, Miami Bass, Detroit Techno, Acid House among others. It is towards the end of the 80s/beginning of the 90s that it becomes the secret ingredient taken by many producers, attracted by its synthetic sonorities. It did not have a natural sound at all, unlike the LinnDrum, but fascinated the Beasties Boys, Dr Dre, Prince or Michael Jackson.
