When a young Benoit Heitz saw a friend's computer running Reason he had an epiphany: "His computer isn't better than my parent's computer. That means I could be making music." He started out not knowing the first thing about drums or music in general. Three years later he was touring the world as an international DJ. Surkin had us over to check out his wild yet danceable cut-up sample work.

  • which version of recycle is that?

  • @bbsc34 the newest one.  2.2.1 with 64 bit and OS lion support.

  • It'd be good to see some videos aimed at metalheads as well :)

  • @mightymuso I agree! We're working on scheduling one, actually. :)

  • i love your videos buti would like to see more soul/hiphop/electronic hiphop artist interviews,i noticed latley its more about house and dance artist

  • @BeatsNRhyms We try to cater to the varied interests of our user community and the wider musical community. The schedule of videos has much more to do with artists availability than any grand plan to lean more electronic in the spring, and more hip hop in the summer schedule. We'll be doing more hip hop and soul stuff, for sure. Thanks for chiming in.

  • Really good video, Benoit seems like a really cool guy. Being new to music softwares, do u recommend Reason or Ableton, and secondly what are the key differences between the two? Cheers!

  • Is that an ARP 2600 sitting behind you?

  • Great video, very talented producer

  • He went from not knowing what a hi hat was to touring the world in 3 years. I've been writing since I was 12. I really respect him. I'm impressed.

  • wooah

    "i was 17 or 18 and just discovered house music"

    i turn 18 in april and discovered more house music than ever

  • "Reason is kind of a girlfriend" NOTHING COULD BE MORE TRUE!

  • Reason is gonna make us better producers and engineers for some. My wife is jealous at Reason. I spend a lot of time with her. I met Reason before my wife. Lol! For real though, this program is the future!
