Melodic Analog Techno Studio Jam feat. Inge – “Don’t be afraid”

[NickBlanc]

One of our best ones yet. The track kicks, sounds and melody are pretty on point and Inge is on fire! Had fun creating this one and recording Inge afterwards. Yeah I know, not entirely live but hey there’s always next time.

I agree with you, it’s really good. Inge’s voice is a great complement to your synth work. I’m not even kidding, but I could just imagine you getting creative with the lightning on this. I really like the synth parts on later section (around 6:00 and thereafter). All the textures and parts just sound cool to me. I’m really not knowledgeable on techno (as you can easily discern from my comments!) but I really enjoy your music. If you were to point more towards what you think is some of the best techno out there, what would you recommend?

Listening to your music has definitely made me spend more time with the genre and contemplate checking out more. I know it’s old school, but I am a long-time Depeche Mode fan and Violator is one of my favorite albums of any genre. I must have listened to it thousands of times from start to finish. But I think beyond the 80s and 90s, I really haven’t spent much time following EDM/techno. etc. I mostly listen to rock, prog rock, singer/songwriter stuff, but I always keep my ears “open-minded” to every genre and always will.

Haha fun thing is, the spots above the synth setup is part of a Philips Hue system. And I recently got an app which could react to sound and relay that to the lights. So I will be experimenting with that.

For the techno part, oooof man, it’s becoming a bit silly like the metal scene where there’s 34 different genres. Uptempo hardtechno is all the hype nowadays with artists like Klofama and Kruelty. I don’t like it personally, I like hard but this is silly hard. Then there’s a huge label called Afterlife which does insane liveshows (recently with arist Anyma in the sphere in Las Vegas), it’s much more melodic and more adjecent to trance.

But there are still oldschool acts around which have evolved. Carl Cox is almost ancient but he does really awesome hybrid stuff (DJ and live togehter), some goes for Richie Hawtin.
