The Last DJ's techno tips: "I'm not afraid to break the rules. The main thing is to enjoy yourself"

Описание: Nick Hayes, aka The Last DJ, is something of an internet phenomenon. Since retiring from the auto industry in 2023, the 67-year-old has embarked on a second career as a producer and DJ of tough, dancefloor-ready techno.

His posts across social media – where he creates and performs tracks using a simple hardware setup, mostly focused around Elektron’s Syntakt drum machine – have seen him amass a combined total of 360,000 followers.

We’re big fans of Hayes’s videos, particularly of the way he wrings as many ideas as possible out of a single hardware instrument. Following our recent interview, we asked Hayes to boot up his trusty Syntakt and break out his famous notepad, and talk us through how he creates his tracks.
