The crew at 8:45a, a San Francisco-based cinematography and photography company, has put together a totally fun club-themed video showing off the energy and enjoyment that comes from using the sBASSdrum iPad app whether you are the musician or dancing in the audience. The soundtrack uses only the sounds in the app—the actual song was resequenced using tracker software.
Playing the role of the DJ/performer is Qualafox, also a local San Francisco producer and DJ. Follow 8:45a on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest.

The first version of the only drum machine to ever be built as a spaceship is now downloadable on the Apple App Store. sBASSdrum (pronounced “space drum”) is a colorful musical instrument that combines both drums and synthesizer sounds together in one interface that requires no setup and curated sound sets to maximize harmony. This demo video shows off the whole suite of features from beat-making, to overdub looping, to the sample-based synthesizer, and finally effects.
The app can be downloaded for free until February 14, and then it will be just $2.99 thereafter.
