Every DRAGER record is made in the same place: a home studio in Brooklyn. No outside engineers, no session musicians, no compromises. The entire chain — writing, performing every instrument, producing, mixing, and mastering — happens in one room by one person.
The sound is built on analog synthesizers and vintage instruments. No presets, no shortcuts.
DRAGER is a Sequential artist. The Sequential Pro 3 is central to the sound — its paraphonic architecture and analog filters give the music its warmth and grit. The Prophet line sits at the heart of the pad work and atmospheric textures that define synthedelic pop.
For the guitar work that cuts through the synths, DRAGER plays Eastman Guitars. Handcrafted instruments that bring an organic, warm counterpoint to the electronic production.
The DIY approach isn't a limitation — it's the point. When one person controls every element, the music has a coherence that committee-produced records can't touch. Every sound you hear on a DRAGER record was intentional, placed by the same pair of hands that wrote the song.
That's synthedelic pop: one vision, analog soul, no filter.
