Gannein’s Masterclass

After a successful first Home of Sound masterclass, Gannein returns for Part 2.

Based in Berlin, the French producer has released on labels including Vault Sessions, Mindtrip and Soma, and since October 2026, his imprint NIENN has been home to his most restrained work, alongside curated artists who share his uncompromising vision.

The session begins in Play Mode, where the focus is on raw creation. Gannein starts by experimenting and improvising to generate original ideas, developing grooves that feel powerful and urgent. Working freely with sequencers and manual arrangement, he layers VSTs, samples and effects to craft leads, textures and immersive soundscapes.

From there, the session shifts into Vision Mode, where instinct gives way to the conceptual rigour and sonic precision that define his work. Gannein reviews the jam, identifies what works best and strengthens the core idea, polishing it while keeping the flow organic. He then structures the track for the dancefloor and works through the mixdown and rough master so it translates everywhere, from intimate spaces to massive dancefloors.

The goal is to leave the session with a track that’s ready to play, along with a clear process you can apply to your own music.

• Creative Jamming & Idea Generation: Start by experimenting, improvising and jamming to generate original musical ideas.
• Refining & Developing Ideas: Review the jam session, identify what works best, and make conscious creative decisions to develop the strongest musical ideas.
• Arrangement, Mixing & Finalisation: Structure the track for the dance floor, work on the mixdown and rough mastering, and aim to leave the session with a track ready to play.
