Win Zombie Nation's MPC!
Now here´s a brilliant idea. Rather than gracefully retiring his trusty Akai MPC4000 to the great loft in the sky, Zombie Nation is auctioning his online for charity! Yes, get a top MPC with celebrity heritage AND do your bit to help the rainforest too.
“This MPC has travelled with me to many countries and seen quite a lot of clubs It´s also the machine I made my last album,
Zombielicious
on,” he tells us. “It´s modded with an DOM 4GB disc and comes with an additional hard disk, CD ROM and the eight output option. It´s still covered in my gig stickers including one that says "HD up", which means "Head up, don´t look on the display like a nerd!”
Reason for sale? “I switched to the MPC 1000 recently, simply because it weighs 12 kilos less, which makes my life a lot easier! But this 4000 works great and is the most advanced hardware sampler ever built.”
So why the charity auction? “I wanted it to go to someone who appreciates the story of this machine which gave me a lot of great moments. The final auction price will be donated to WWF for rainforest conservation project in memory of Daniel Hansson - founder of Elektron Music Machines - who was a big supporter of the WWF. Remember: Paper has two sides so print doublesided!”
“The highest bidder will receive a copy of the proof of donation of the full amount as well as a signed photo of me and the MPC plus a list of all the dates and clubs this MPC travelled with me.”
