909 is a site dedicated to the Roland TR-909, the drum machine that shaped house and techno. Here you find the story of the instrument, its sound and its lasting influence on electronic dance music. The site is for producers, DJs and anyone curious about where the classic 909 sound comes from.
How the site works
We collect background, history and context around the TR-909 and the music it helped create. Articles are written to stay relevant over time rather than to follow the news, so you can come back and use them as a reference. When we mention a fact about the machine or its history, we aim to keep it accurate and verifiable.
