Flash has always customised his gear, right from the start. Originally, he explained, this was because the equipment simply wasn’t designed for the creative style of mixing he pioneered. He has now used Rane equipment for a couple of years: the first time he heard a Rane mixer - whilst playing at the New York club Life - he fell in love with it’s clear sound. "Rane is simply the cleanest mixer I’ve found," he says.
Flash is also impressed with Rane, as a manufacturer, for listening and taking onboard his creative and practical suggestions for their future product development. Rane and Flash are currently working on a joint project - rumoured to be a major landmark contribution to mix culture - due for introduction at the end of the year.
