Hey I love your circuitous route to where you are now in your music!! That is fantastic story I am not one to argue over genres.. just whatever make you move.. it is all good Thank you so much for sharing your awakenings Yes we saw Sia in London many years ago and I was in love with her voice more than anything Great talent, good choice!! always thought that vid was weird! and but I am grateful for your sharing! At the minute I use electronic mostly for skipping/jumprope (hardstyle->drumstep = perfect bpm).. JxoNow lets think. I tend to go DJ's as well. Not so much for the mixing, although I do prefer a long mix from the final breaks. Basically, someone lent me a tape of a Marshall Jefferson mix. He was in a New York club and recorded live (If I remember correctly, I am sure I am though) and I was just hooked. One thing led to another with the likes of Frankie Knuckles being heard as well, I started digging deeper and found that NY house was different to Chicago house. Slight differences that you only explain by suggesting a listen. Several one things to another later, I am going with Hard House, American House and Garage, plus Deep House (Rocky and Diesel) through to the emergence of more progressive stuff. Really though, I had the musical epiphany when I first heard some Goa and Acid Trance. The musical explosion caught me there
No I am not a producer, I flirted with bedroom mixing, although I did play a few sets in some club bars. I did like it, but I would not play to the crowd and pretty much mixed my selected vinyl, over and above the floor. Still though, when I have built my new rig, I will think about Virtual DJ or such like. Anyway yeah know a bit of Nina Kraviz, yeah she's cool More up-tempo these days, but I would recommend Sia.
