Woody Piano Shack vs Teenage Engineering EP-133 K.O. II: Beat-Making in the Rave Bunker

Woody Piano Shack grabs the Teenage Engineering EP-133 K.O. II and dives headfirst into its chaotic world of beat-making, sampling, and scene-juggling. This isn’t your typical glossy demo – Woody’s approach is hands-on, honest, and a bit messy, just the way we like it. Expect plenty of workflow quirks, happy accidents, and a sampler that sometimes fights back. If you’re after a polished product walkthrough, look elsewhere. But if you want to see a real musician wrangle this plastic beast into something musical, you’re in for a treat. Spoiler: it’s not always pretty, but it’s never boring.
