How are electronic music hits built?, What artists and records have been influential in their creation?, What production tricks and techniques were used? How did artists define the track’s structure and what effects did they use to give the song a unique character?

All these questions and more will find answers at Point Bank’s “Deconstruction Masterclass”, where this year, they will take apart Dj Shadow’s “Mutual Slump” to analyze each of the pieces that have made this track from 1996 one of the milestones of hip hop and a sonic point of reference of the 90s.

Point Blank is one of the leading schools in the world of electronic music production. Established in 1994, they offer courses from their London and Los Angeles centres, as well as online courses. Celebrated artists such as AlunaGeorge, Claude VonStroke or even Goldie himself attended its classrooms

This masterclass will be given by Point Blank Lead Course Developer Ski Oakenfull. Active in the electronic music scene since 1991, Oakenfull has been keyboardist, producer and remixer for bands and musicians such as Galliano, Incognito, Jakatta and many others.
