The Simmons SDS-800 is an 100% analog drum synthesizer produced in the 80s, responsible for the classic, cosmic syn-tom (beeww beeww) sounds used on countless disco, boogie and reggae recordings. In the 90s, the Simmons became re-popularized in the techno world, this time with its raw resonant white noise oscillator being used for jarring hi hat and snare programming. And most recently, the Simmons drum sounds have become a signature  for groups like LCD Soundsystem, featured on tracks such as Losing my Edge and Get Innocuous.

Whatever the style, if you're into unique sounding analog drum punch, the Simmons is where it's at. And they sound particularly amazing when layered with drum machines like the 808, 909 etc. Our SDS-800 has been recorded through a high end signal chain including an Api 512C preamp, Api 560 Equalizer, SSL and 1176 Compressor, Otari MTR-12 Tape Machine and Apogee Conversion, and features an extensive library of sounds.

Simmons From Mars


Versatile producer and live artist, Andres Bucci has been crafting his sounds since the late 90’s after moving to Berlin where the Chilean native honed his skills in the studio, preferring things all analogue and hardware based, which is still evident up to this very day.

Andres Bucci has a very particular sound, one embedded with grooves filled full of 808’s and 909’s and twisting analogue leads, low end basses and warm spacious pads. This is translated over into his live sets, which have graced some of the best clubs in Berlin such as Panorama Bar, Watergate and Weekend Club as well as international festivals such as Mutek and Synch Festival.

His own productions have found their way onto established labels such as Dinky’s label Horizontal, Cynosure Recordings, Kupei Musika, WMF, Pier Bucci’s label Maruca, Hummingbird and an album with Kate Simko on Traum Music. His music has been well received over the years and he continues to be an integral part of the electronic music scene.
