808
Even if you don't know it by name, the 808 sound is everywhere. From Afrika Bambaataa to Diplo, 30 years of hip-hop and electronic music trace its roots to the iconic Roland TR-808 Drum Machine with its deep bass kick drum and unique cowbell sound that changed music forever. Featuring exclusive interviews with Ikutaro Kakehashi (founder of Roland Corporation) and renowned musicians, the film proves that the 808 sound transgresses time and genre.
