there's the tune. stills needs a few more bells and whistles/mastering, but you get the idea.
I can kinda understand where your friend is coming from though, as techno/breaks were all the rage during the late 90's/early millennium. I dont really see it as an insult though as that was the golden age of EDM. I guess it's just how you interpret it though....
holy crap I used the word "though" a lot......
yeah, that's kind of how I looked at it. It really got me thinking about the whole 'that sound is dated,' and why that is so widely considered to be a criticism.
dude, I am totally guilty of this too. I also use too many howevers in my real writing.
terrible producer, great DJ. saw him at this really weird party in San Francisco like a year ago. he went on at 1 and was still playing when I left at 7. he went through phases of playing slower melodic stuff, which rocked, but the first 3ish hours were awesome.
pretty ones is ok. I wish it didn't have all that tweaky shit going on though. it's too spastic.
