Ep 73: Will Clarke won’t spend 7 years making a track

April 15, 2025 · 1 h 6 min

Show notes

Will Clarke literally began DJing as a child, and in this episode, he shares his prodigious journey from playing at a local caravan site to blowing up in Ibiza's club scene. Along the way, he reveals the unique Russian drum machine that forms the backbone of his techno tracks, and explains how he avoids using other people’s samples in the studio. This time, hear about his Somerset dream studio, the must-have synth that could fuel his creativity forever, and which readily available mic he trusts for capturing vocal recordings.

Season 7 of the My Forever Studio Podcast is supported by Audient, and the incredible new iD48 audio interface.
