Since its world premiere at SXSW, 808 has played many festivals around the world. “808 is an inspirational story of the Roland TR-808 drum machine and how its ground-shaking beats changed the musical world. Its sound transcends countries and musical genres, in turn inspiring countless artists and producers, giving them an iconic sound from which to build upon. Even if you don’t know the 808 by name, you know its sound. It’s everywhere, even now. 808 reveals the stories of the world famous artists, producers and most importantly the hit music to which the 808 was key, offering a cross section of personal experiences about the development of musical genres from around the world.”—SXSW
