Prince Fatty Masterclass

Long-time friend of Miloco Studios and our sister company Drumdrops, Mike Pelanconi (aka Prince Fatty) is set to host a very special Dub Masterclass this Friday (October 7, 2016) at Point Blank Music School exclusively for their students.

Mike, who has previously worked with the likes of Lilly Allen, A Tribe Called Quest, Pharcyde and Gregory Isaacs, might be know to some of you for his work on Drumdrops’ dub album release, Prince Fatty Horseman, In A Saturday Night Style Vol 1.

As an experiences sound engineer and music producer, Mike will be  imparting his extensive knowledge of dub in a 90 minute workshop at the school’s all new studio facility on Orsman Road in London.

Whilst the masterclass itself focuses around dub, this event will prove invaluable for all production students looking to enhance their production knowledge and skills, with the session exploring some key mixing and effects techniques that can be utilised across many different genres.

If you are, or happen to know, a student at Point Blank then check out the details below and email louise@pointblanklondon.com confirming your current course to secure your place. Please note that this workshop is limited to 30 places and is based on a first come, first serve basis.

Prince Fatty Dub Workshop – ‘More Hifi Less Wifi’

This session promises to be a historical journey into dub and reggae recording techniques, from the early 4 track tape recordings of the 60s through to the modern day. With Prince Fatty treating us to a vinyl excursion into some dub legends including King Tubby, Lee Perry and Scientist, this session will be a unmissable opportunity to gain some invaluable knowledge and proven studio techniques to put to use in your productions.  

Attendees to the workshop can expect a deep technical workout, with Fatty diving into the analog process behind dub FX and mixing techniques, demonstrating the difference in sound between digital delays and tape echoes, spring reverbs and filters. Students will be given a detailed insight into how these much-used effects can be used to best impact within electronic music, whether in the studio or on stage.    

During the workshop you’ll learn how to set up a mixing desk for dub and be treated to an exclusive insight into some Prince Fatty multi tracks for dissection. Bring a lab coat!
