Who?

Upful Gwan was formerly known as Kitsch&Sync from 2008 until 2010, where due to a name clash with some house producers it was changed. It means positive and progressive things are happening.

All mixed together or sticking to one particular style, these are the types of sounds to expect...

Kit Used

Ableton Upful Gwans' blend of styles is created with the use of some pretty impressive technology:
A spec'd Laptop, PCMCIA Soundcard (with 96k audio sampling for minimal latency), Ableton with numerous customizations (inc. clever sends & returns for filter control, semi-mousless control & advanced audio routing for unique "analogue" headphone output), Fully assigned Midi Controller & Bomes Midi Translator (for UNLIMITED possibilities).

Some consider it cheating, some consider it another creative outlet for mixing & audio production and some have no idea what it is or how it works... You can make up your own mind.
