Swamp 81 t shirt

I'm sure I've included swamp81 records as part of the research for nearly all of my projects so far..
Swamp81, a label run by Loefah with the aims of diverging away from the current state of dubstep, released a few drum-machine-heavy singles by producers like Addison Groove, Ramadanman and Boddika, which came as a refreshing change to other sounds of today's scenes. Presumably in celebration of Roland's renewed/continuing popularity this t-shirt was released:





quite simply displaying the numbers of three of Roland's drum machines.

Goes a fair way to show that whilst digital software has rapidly become very popular, there will always be a place for older, more established hardware that perhaps shows a greater level of solid consistency, despite their restrictions.
