Espen Kraft dives headfirst into the neon-lit world of Italo Disco, armed with a Korg Poly-61 that’s more budget than bling but still packs a punch. This isn’t just another nostalgia trip—Espen’s got the vintage drum machines, sequencers, and a DAW all locked in tight, showing how to wrangle classic sounds without selling your kidneys. Expect sharp sync tricks, arpeggiator wizardry, and a setup that proves you don’t need a museum piece to get the dancefloor moving. If you want to see how to squeeze pure disco juice from 80s gear, this is your jam.
