Techno is coming back in the main stream think, EDM, dubstep/brostep, people who grew up with Aphex Twin(me), took things in such a daw glitch plugin edited ADD direction it's gonna come back around to more subtle hardware rhythm. Actually it's really Drum n Bass's fault, they really started the drop, back when I thought (original) dubstep was the most boring music possible. Most likely they switched places because people are lazy and they would rather "dance" to half time beats than 170 actual.

I decided to go for the new electribe sampler. I was going to do the regular one but decided to try out the sample first since they look to be starting to come out now, and there is hardly any info on them, save a few recent YouTube videos. More fun that way. I think the volcas, op1 and electribe sample will be a legit battery powered mini set up.

To me A4 or Keys, Octatrack, and Rytm are the equivalent 808, 909, 303 etc... of this time period, except they started out expensive :)
