Weekly music production tips and tricks focusing on dawless gear like SP404 MK2, Koala Sampler, Digitakt and synths. I'll show you ways to go beyond the typical lofi beats/house vibes on these machines and use them for sound design, ambient, idm and guitar based music.
A little about me:
Sunwarper is a Los Angeles based project creating warped, atmospheric electronic music. Sun soaked melodies, warm analog synths and dusty samples meet cinematic landscapes to create nostalgic soundtracks for places that don’t exist. With his mastery of live instruments and samplers, Sunwarper creates a wide range of sonics between Ambient dreamscapes, lofi chillout and Synthwave bliss.
With releases featured on the likes of KEXP and Bandcamp’s “New and Notable”, Sunwarper has established himself as an integral a part of the independent electronic scene.

Getting ready for NAMM 2026 in a few days. I’ll be walking the floor and checking out what’s new in the sampler, DAWless, and music production world. Is there anything you’d like me to take a closer look at while I’m there? Post it in the comments and I’ll try to check it out and cover it on the channel.
I’ll be sharing a few shorts from the show during the week, and I’m planning to put together a Best of NAMM video once I’m back.
Here’s the small setup I’m bringing to film quick demos on the floor. I always keep things lightweight, with a sampler in the mix that can also double as an audio interface for captures into Logic.
If you’re going to be at NAMM and see me around, come say hi.

How do you usually find samples to flip?

This is how I build and perform a track using only the SP404:

The video shows my entire start to finish process of taking an idea from raw samples to a finished, performable song. It covers chopping samples, arranging, mixing, and finally performing the track live on the SP.
Next week, I’ll be exploring some new gear that might finally challenge the PO-33 in my workflow. Cheers!

We made a lot of beats here on the channel this year. As it’s become a bit of a tradition, the final video of 2025 wraps things up with a compilation of some of my favorite beats made throughout the year, across all the different gear I’ve been working with:

A huge thank you to everyone who supported the channel this year, whether you subscribed, became a member, left a comment, or just watched a few videos. It all means a lot. We’re also getting close to 10,000 subscribers, which was a big goal for me this year.
As we head into the new year, releases may be a little more spaced out for a bit as I take some time for paternity leave, but I’ve still got videos scheduled for January and plenty planned for 2026.
What are you hoping to focus on creatively in the new year?
Thanks again for all the support, and I’ll see you in 2026.

Just wanted to say happy holidays to everyone here.
This year has been a big one for the channel, and I’m incredibly grateful for all the support, comments and conversations along the way. It’s been awesome getting to talk music, gear and workflow with so many of you.
I’ve got a beat compilation with some of my favorite beats from the year coming out this Saturday. Hope you enjoy it, and hope you’re all having a great end to the year.
