Watch The Trailer For ‘Planet Rock and Other Tales of the 808’

When you start this trailer, you feel that thump in your chest? Your sub-woofer rattling the walls in your apartment building? None of those feelings would ever be the same without the iconic Roland 808 drum machine. Innovator Arthur Baker has taken the machine into a full length film featuring interviews with legends of music production from ?uestlove and A-Trak to Diplo and Fatboy Slim (and Skrillex?). The film is set to release sometime in 2013 and is sure to feature some fascinating insight on one of modern music’s most important pieces of equipment. Felix Da Housecat says it best, “808 changed the mothafuckin’ world.”
