Belgian magazine Side-Line interviewed Millimetric this week about all things techn0-ebm. 

“SL: I’ve been always really impressed by the power of your deep and dry bass lines. What kind of equipment do you use here and what’s the importance of a bass line? M: In studio I use vintage synthesizers as MS 20, MS 50,Yamaha CS 30 and CS 60…some software’s synthesizers, vintage effects: Space Echo, Stage Echo…and some machines from the 90’s. As I said I’ve been very influenced by EBM and in my tracks, bass lines have a very important place. For me it’s very difficult to make music without a ‘patator’ bass line!!” – Side-Line
