Roland Corporation, the company behind various classic drum machines, appears to be reviving its most beloved product, the Roland TR-808 Rhythm Composer. A vital beat box for both hip-hop and dance music, the 808 was introduced to the market in 1980 and succeeded by the 909 (generally speaking, techno’s drum machine of choice) in 1983. Although a simple Google will bring up high-quality 808 samples to download, for many artists it’s impossible to beat the sound of the original machine – hence them trading hands for £2,000+ on Ebay.
