In celebration of 909 day (the 9th of September) I have put together a non-stop mix of songs that feature the Roland TR-909 drum machine. This mix isn't solely Electro music and it highlights the flexibility of the machine within the context of genres like Hip Hop, Pop, Electro, Industrial, IDM, House, Techno and more.

The Roland TR-909 Rhythm Composer is a drum machine introduced by the Roland Corporation in 1983. It was the first Roland drum machine to use samples and MIDI. Though it was a commercial failure, the 909 went on to become influential in the development of many forms of Electronic music.

This mix was published for the @DarkScienceElectro program which is an Electro music podcast/blog that publishes daily on Facebook and Soundcloud. The artwork that represents the mix is by https://www.redbubble.com/people/straight-ahead
