Wrapping it all up
Big thanks to Florian for breaking down how he works inside Battery 4. What stuck with us most was how dialed-in his process is without being overly complicated. It’s clear he’s spent years refining what actually works – separating key elements early, curating his own sample banks, using humanization where it matters—and now it’s just muscle memory.
You can hear all of it on Clockwork Mind / Mother Nature. The drums hit, but they stay out of the way. The groove moves, but nothing feels forced. It’s the kind of balance you only get when you trust your tools and don’t let the process slow you down.
For anyone building melodic techno, this is a solid reminder that tight drums don’t come from throwing more at the mix—they come from making clear decisions early and letting those small moves stack up.
