Although the mayhem of the late 80s is a distant memory, the music and the machine that inspired it is very much alive and kicking. The TB-303 sound still has the power to demolish a dancefloor like nothing else, and at a club or party, you’re never far away from that alien, liquid squelch. It is unusual for a sound to stay around for so long, especially in electronic music where 12 months feels like an eternity. This is a testament to the artists and producers who love the sound and help to keep it current. And it’s definitely a salute to the spirit of forward-looking party people all over the world—the soundtrack of good times gone by, and also yet to come.
