In The Studio with Kinnerman TUTORIAL

Learn how to beat creative block and get insider knowledge on Kinnerman’s signature sound using Ableton Live.

Making his debut for Toolroom Academy is Kinnerman; another tech house producer sending waves through the industry, his releases on Kaluki and Elrow have seen huge Beatport success. Gaining huge recognition in the music industry from the get-go with Solardo naming him as their ‘one to watch’ in 2017, and rightly so; his tracks have caused quite a stir amongst some of the biggest labels out there.

Kinnerman’s first release ‘Hip House’ on Elrow Music shot to the top of the charts and was followed up with ‘On The Drums’ on their Miami 2017 compilation. Quickly discovered by Josh Butler, one of his idols, Kinnerman then released ‘Tha Break’ on Origins Rcrds, and carried on to flourish with the big labels such as Kaluki, Toolroom, Mr Nice Guy and to even being hunted down by Steve Lawler to remix a track for his record label ‘Viva Music’.
