Last weekend, American producer and DJ Mustard showcased his limited-edition Native Instruments Maschine MK3 and Kontrol S49 on the Coachella stage. Native Instruments created the gear exclusively for Mustard – but one other set exists, and it’s up for grabs.
An exclusive giveaway could see you winning your very own NI x Mustard limited-edition gear. All you have to do is enter on Native Instruments’ website, and the ultra-rare Maschine MK3 and Kontrol S49 instruments could be yours.
The Maschine MK3 is a top-tier sampler and drum machine, boasting two high-res RGB colour displays for precision sample slicing, sound tweaking and more. It also comes with 25 pro-quality effects, including filter, EQ, delay, reverb and compressor. There’s also 16 pads sensitive pads for precise two-handed drumming, as well as touch-sensitive knobs to toy with parameter.
In terms of the Kontrol S49, we awarded it 9/10 in 2023. The keyboard is particularly impressive in terms of how tactile customisable it is; the Kontrol S49 is the “ultimate controller” for instruments, effects, controlling your DAW or doing entirely computer-free when in MIDI mode.
DJ Mustard (or, as Kendrick Lamar would refer to him, MUSTAAAAAAAARD!) had an incredibly successful 2024. It saw him picking up multiple awards for his production work, including five Grammys for the pivotal Not Like Us. Performing at Coachella with some fresh Native Instruments custom gear is surely a sign that 2025 will be equally as fulfilling.
Speaking on the collaboration, Mustard says: “It’s an honour to team up with Native Instruments on this. Maschine and the Kontrol S49 are powerful tools I’ve always respected – they make it easy to get ideas down fast and add real musicality.”
While Mustard has since “broken in” his gear for Coachella crowds, he’s set to knock it out yet again on the second weekend of Coachella. But he’s already grateful for how weekend one went down.
“This Coachella was bigger than the set – it was a full-circle moment,” Mustard told VIBE in the aftermath of his Coachella set. “I brought the studio to the stage, tapped in with some of my favourite collaborators, and took fans through my catalogue, hit by hit.”
“The energy was crazy from start to finish,” he added. “Big love to the team and everyone who helped bring the vision to life.”
Mustard’s second performance will take place during the second weekend of Coachella on 18th April. The set will kick off late, continuing on into the early hours of the following day.
Native Instruments’ giveaway will run until 25th April. Enter now.
