canadas last step unleashes his debut album called simply last step. these tracks are all created using original analogue equipment like the roland 303, 606, 707 and jupiter etc. they do not know much about last step as he only communicates with me anonymously and via vocoder. all his royalties (if he ever makes a profit) are destined for the st. bernadettas synth hospital.
