Global influences. Electronic production that grows around them — until you can't tell where one ends and the other begins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor this special edition, we welcome MAUGLI — a producer whose genre-bending sound has moved past obvious samples into something entirely his own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs the MAUGLI Live Trio, he merges driving rhythms with soulful melodies and global grooves, transforming his studio productions into an electrifying journey of soulful, psychedelic live dance music — raw synths, warm melodies, and psychedelic textures brought to life on stage with drums, guitar, piano, sax and flutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut the thing that makes that music unmistakably his doesn't come from a sample pack. Early MAUGLI releases leaned a lot on samples and unambiguous  references. His recent work — and the upcoming album — moves somewhere broader: acoustic instrumentation woven into electronica and downtempo, global influences that live under the surface rather than on top, and nothing obvious. The result sounds like him.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis masterclass is a practical look into how he builds that sound — from acoustic source to finished electronic track.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🕒 Date \u0026amp; Time:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e📅 Saturday, June 13, 2026 ⏰ 12:00 PM – Cancun Time (EST \/ UTC-5)\u003cbr\u003eOther time zones: • Los Angeles: 10:00 AM • Barcelona: 7:00 PM\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat You'll Learn:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBringing Acoustic Instruments into an Electronic Context.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow MAUGLI captures the warmth and feel of real instruments and integrates them into electronic production — so they sound woven in, not bolted on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eOriginal Production vs. Remixing\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow the same creative instincts play out differently across original songs and remixes — with examples from the upcoming album.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCore Principles \u0026amp; Staying Inspired\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe core ideas that run through all of MAUGLI's music — plus an honest look at what keeps him inspired and creating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou'll leave with practical techniques, a broader sonic palette, and a clearer approach to making electronic music that sounds like you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy This Masterclass Matters:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA lot of producers reach for sample packs and obvious \"ethnic\" labels to add color — layering a borrowed element on top of something already built.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMAUGLI works differently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe acoustic instrument and recordings and the broad influences — they give the music the truly personal character.

But even more, there were so many subjects that I didn't know I needed: creating a personal signature sound, how collaborations work, live-looping and hybrid-DJ sets, and the business side of a music career. Guest teachers gave added perspectives, and open Q\u0026amp;A took us into students' concerns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are a music producer (or want to be) and are looking to focus on techniques that are in your genre and right to the point, I highly recommend The Sound of You.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e— Kerry\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"J.Pool Music Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52144022749486,"sku":"020","price":44.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0843\/1622\/5838\/files\/TheSoundofYou_020_MAUGLI.jpg?v=1780421487","url":"https:\/\/jpoolmusic.myshopify.com\/products\/how-to-blend-acoustic-instruments-electronic-music-with-special-guest-maugli-the-sound-of-you-live-music-productionworkshop","provider":"J.Pool Music Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
