Roland Corporation celebrates 909 Day, the annual moment when producers, DJs, and dance music communities worldwide salute the TR-909 Rhythm Composer. Since its introduction in 1983, the TR-909 has supplied the pulse of house, techno, and club music genres.
For 909 Day 2026, Roland is going back to where that story started. The celebration centers on a live workshop in Detroit with techno originator Kevin Saunderson and the premiere of a new animated film, pairing hands-on music-making with a look at the people and culture behind the TR-909.
