I've been thinking about it.
During a brief bout of lucidity I was able to recollect the way in which my musical progression occured. I remember I started out with Trance and then moved into nu-skool breaks and drum n bass, and Techno. Then from there I started listening to the more progressive side of the breakbeat spectrum, which ultimately lead me into just straight up progressive house music. From that point I was equipped with the tools necessary to jump into my own distinctive sound.
And thanks for the shout out Carlos glad to see I've influenced someone for the better.
PS
If any of you pole smokers have not been fortunate enough to have seen the film 'Maestro', I reccomend you do ASAP. |

Why drink cheap brew when you can homebrew? |

I dunno, I change what I like all the time but I don't dislike a lot... I still can't listen to deep house or proggy house.. just is boring for me IMO... And anything above 140BPM (other than DNB)
Yes, my style has changed... but I just incorporate more into what I play... I don't completely change everything. I just like a bunch of different music :P lol |

| It might also be that it's not just your taste that's maturing, but also the tastes of the DJs you're listening to. |

Is that the one about the evolution of what was the underground scene? I heard about this one. That good, huh? |

It's basically about the Paradise Garage and Larry Levan, but I find it necessary for people interested in the music to eventually learn about the roots.
Also touches on David Mancuso and the Loft, and has interviews with Francis Grasso who invented beatmatching, etc... Interviews with Francois K one of them very powerful about how AIDS ravaged the burgeoning scene ect... |

Im in for teh summah, but we need some hot pooty tang if you know what i mean.
For me, you grow everyday. You learn something new and you want to express that in music. No matter the genre or style. Yeah, sometimes you might be catching yourself listening to classical, while others to punk rock and sometimes a dose of urlich or the latter. |

Word Enrique, I feel you.
I used to wonder if moving away from trance as the genre that I'm most passionate about was a matter of maturing, or if I was realising that trance wasn't as good as I thought it was... but now I understand that I still love trance just as much, just not as often. Why? Diversification. I'm constantly broadening my musical understanding and appreciation, and for a long time the process was very confusing, because it was hard to know what I liked, and if my affinity towards new music was true or not. I think that's why I moved away from DJing for a while, because that confusion really clouded my underlying passion. I'm not sure if this is something that others have experienced or not, but it can be pretty disheartening. Now I listen to new artists and styles of music with baited breath and a keen interest, instead of being afraid of not being able to make a black/white decision on the spot. I recognise my appreciation for good music as being something dynamic, something that will grow as I experience and comprehend different elements in the music, until it becomes a part of my outlook on life.
ps: and thanks for the mention too Carlos :) |
