MixWithTheMasters Kevin Parker Producing 'Dracula'

Join Kevin Parker of Tame Impala as he revisits the Ableton session for ‘Dracula’. Explore how he stitched together various demos to create one of his biggest hit songs to date, with a sharp focus on songwriting, synthesis, and analog saturation.

Kevin explores the recent evolutions in his workflow while sharing unreleased demos from his sessions with co-writer Sarah Aarons. He explores early lyrical and musical themes before diving into the analog heartbeat of the record: a synchronized system of drum machines and synths inspired by Nigerian boogie, Turkish disco, and Jamaican dub sound systems.
