Dotdat’s Masterclass

In this 2.30h masterclass, Indian techno artist and trained tabla player Dotdat explores how randomness, experimentation, and controlled chaos can help break creative blocks and generate fresh ideas.

Starting without a fixed concept, Dotdat records audio from randomized sources and gradually turns unexpected material into a focused techno track. Along the way, he shows how to organise recordings, build drums and percussion, develop the idea, create a basic mix, and quickly test whether an arrangement is strong enough to pursue.

Drawing on his rhythmic background and releases on labels including Symbolism, Truncate, Dust In Grooves, and Qilla Records, Dotdat shares a spontaneous, practical workflow built around instinct, fast decisions, and experimentation.

For producers looking to escape repetitive habits, introduce more unpredictability into their process, and turn chaos into something musical.

Level: Intermediate.
