Artist Picks, Mike Huckaby

Mike Huckaby balances deep house and Detroit techno like no other. He produces, DJs, and even teaches music production with Native Instruments software at Youthville in Detroit and around the globe – building a legacy between generations and reinforcing ties with Berlin. Discover some of his favorite REAKTOR devices on this page.

Here's what Mike has to say about some of his favorite user-built ensembles:

Frame 3: "This is one I found through the newly reorganized Reaktor User Library. It is extremely powerful and capable of finding hidden sonic attributes to anything you load into it. I never would have found this gem, had it not been for the new Reaktor User Library. I plan on using this a lot while doing remixes, and even sound design."

Flakes: "This is an old favorite. Fasten your seat belt when you use this ensemble: It certainly gets your creativity going. I can thank this ensemble for the remix I did for Loco Dice - Black Truffles in the Snow.

GrainX: "This essential ensemble makes me wonder where my day went. The controls and features within this ensemble are clearly laid out, and powerful. You can completely transform original samples and material into something new easily. There’s even a tempo-synced delay that responds to any BPM. Warning: You might be late for work."

Migrainestate A: "Simply Stunning! This is a revamp of Martin Brinkmann's Grainstates. The interface is simply gorgeous. There is nothing else like it. Simple tones become gorgeous, rhythmic, and highly expressive when using this. It’s one of my favorite ensembles for sure. Perfect for making house and techno without a doubt."
