Gianpiero Lacarbonara in arte GND amante della black music si appassiona fin da subito all’hip hop. Da prima dietro un microfono come MC nell’arte del rap e in seguito dietro ai giradischi graffiando i primi scratch e cimentandosi nel turntablism. Instancabile collezionista di vinili e sempre alla ricerca di nuove sonorità spazia nei suoi set dal funk al soul, dal reggae all’hip hop, dalla disco all’afrobeat. Per lui la musica è quel bellissimo mondo dove quando metti su un disco e chiudi gli occhi puoi cogliere mille sfumature del suono che se avesse una pelle porterebbe tutti i colori del mondo, forse con qualche tinta più scura perché tutto ciò che ascoltiamo è figlia della black music.

Akai MPCs (originally MIDI Production Center, now Music Production Controller) are a popular series of electronic musical instruments originally designed by Roger Linn and produced by the Japanese company Akai from 1988 onward. Intended to function as a powerful kind of drum machine, the MPCs drew on design ideas from machines such as the Sequential Circuits Inc. Studio 440 and the Linn's own Linn 9000, combining a powerful MIDI sequencer with the ability to sample one's own sounds. A major influence to Roger Linn's design was his love of rubber pads and how they could be pushed, prodded, and banged; this can be seen clearly in his designs especially from the MPC-60 onwards. Linn also had a passion for squares: thus, no round pads on the MPC Series. Later models feature increasingly powerful sampling, storage, interfacing and sound manipulation facilities, which broaden the use of instrument beyond just drum and rhythm tracks.
