Simon Akkermans

Simon is founder of C-Mon & Kypski, and now producer and engineer for artists like Binkbeats, Bombay, Skip & Die and Gallowstreet. His Epic Rainbow Unicorn Studio is situated in Kytopia (Utrecht), of which he is part of. It's a musical breeding ground featuring artists like Kyteman, Binkbeats, PAX, Arts the Beatdoctor, Black Sun Empire and it's home to Sonar Traffic's immaculate synthstudio.

"I love analog outboard gear such as tape echo's, distortion pedals, all kinds of tape machines and compressors. I'm using Pro Tools to record and mix, so i'm really into the hybrid setup of analog and digital. I'm influenced by artists like Beck, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Public Enemy and Flying Lotus."

Simon Akkermans and FabFilter

"FabFilter Pro-C is my workhorse compressor. Very easy to use (love the visual aspect!) and transparent sound. The side-chain is super useful. I got it from a friend to try out, now i can't live without it. I use it in extensive Pro Tools mixes. On the current Bombay album for instance, or the Beats Unraveled videos by Binkbeats. I have also tried the Timeless 2 delay, but I have to dig in a little more. Curious to use the EQ's and all other stuff!"
