3/03/26 303 Day—is a celebration of the Roland TB-303: the small but mighty synth that gave birth to acid house and produces distinctive, squelchy basslines that can be heard everywhere—from Daft Punk, Phuture, Madonna, Nine Inch Nails, Orbital, The Prodigy, Fatboy Slim, Josh Wink, and countless others that have managed to seep into your musical DNA.
Three synth wizards come together to unleash unholy noise from their TB-303s & 303 mutant clones.
