Most amateur producers struggle with EQ and compression. When you drop a kick from a generic "Trap Supreme" kit, it often sounds flat or boxy. When you drop a kick from the Starboy Outtatown kit, it already has a smiley-face EQ curve applied (boosted lows, boosted highs, scooped mids).

Most modern trap kits utilize snares with heavy 808 tails—sounds that ring out for days. The Outtatown kit flips the script. The snares here are tight, dry, and incredibly short. They sit perfectly on top of a mix without muddying the low end. This allows the kick and the bass synth to occupy the low frequencies, while the snare provides a sharp, instantaneous puncture. It is the sound of Starboy ’s title track—punchy, aggressive, yet clean enough for radio.

Based in Amsterdam and Japan, the duo founded the production group in 2019. They are widely recognized for their work on era-defining albums, most notably Playboi Carti's Whole Lotta Red and Ken Carson’s Teen X .
