want to know more about the new outlook on techno! obviously will get to hear it but can u say more? interesting!
it's just more a refreshing change for me, ya know? i do love my four to the floor techno, but i have always loved unique sounds and weird, completely strange noises. there is some really good techno out there, but there are certainly pockets of stagnation here and there too. sometimes i even get lazy with my production, cuz i feel i am not pushing it sometimes, ya know? so i just avoid working on tunes cuz i feel kinda over it.
so essentially hearing some fresh sounds has really given me a bit of a kick in the ass to really push my sound and see where i can go with it. i listen to all kinds of music anyway, but this sound has definitely just given me a bit of lift, whether it's just listening to great tunes, spinning em, or just influencing my production a bit.
so all that just to say...it's making me happy and creative!
p.s. this post was written before my morning coffee, so forgive me if i am rambling.
