I produce electronic music with a focus on DUB, Techno, and Reggae, blending traditional production techniques with cutting-edge AI-assisted workflows. My approach combines hardware synthesis, software instruments, and now AI-powered tools to create immersive sonic experiences.
Ableton MCP Extended is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that allows AI assistants like Claude to control Ableton Live directly through natural language commands. This bridges the gap between creative intent and technical execution, enabling producers to focus on musical ideas rather than mouse clicks.
The MCP protocol acts as a universal adapter between AI assistants and external applications. In this case, it translates natural language instructions into precise Ableton Live actions via Remote Scripts.
In my DUB productions, I use Ableton MCP to quickly set up send-heavy routing chains. I can say “Create three return tracks with different delay times for a classic dub echo setup” and have the routing ready in seconds. The AI handles the tedious setup while I focus on the creative aspects: riding the sends, layering echoes, and crafting that characteristic space.
For techno, the workflow is all about building rhythmic foundations quickly. I use natural language commands to create multiple drum tracks with different processing chains, set up sidechain routing, and adjust parameters in real-time during live sessions. Commands like “Add a low-pass filter to the bass track and automate it over 16 bars” become instant actions.
During live performances, Ableton MCP Extended shines as a performance tool. I can fire scenes, adjust levels, and trigger samples using voice commands or through my AI assistant. This hands-free control allows me to focus on playing instruments and engaging with the audience while the AI handles session management.

My DUB productions draw from the Jamaican tradition of versioning and mixing desk experimentation. Heavy use of delay, reverb, and filter sweeps create that cavernous, psychedelic sound. I work with both analog and digital sources, often processing live instruments through custom effect chains.
My techno work focuses on hypnotic, driving rhythms with subtle textural evolution. I emphasize minimal arrangements where every element serves a purpose, building tension through careful automation and spatial processing.
Rooted in the one-drop tradition, my reggae productions emphasize groove and space. I work with both programmed and live drums, incorporating classic organ bubble patterns and melodic basslines that define the genre.
