I'm not sure I could listen to just one genre of music for any length of time without putting it's polar opposite on just to freshen myself up a bit. I've gone through plenty of phases of music appreciation. Getting into different bands/styles by one way or another. At the moment I'm listening to just a couple of albums on repeat, mostly in the car, and I've been playin' around with a mini playlist for the house parties we have at home. Thankfully my housemate is a bit of a party veteran and isn't ready at this point in time to stop enjoyin' the music. And knowing the neighbours as drinking pals means that we often have licence to have a really good atmosphere 'til late (early morning) with some VOLUME and expensive lighting effects. There's a world of music out there, if you like listening to music for any reason, who knows what you are missing??

So I frickin' lurrve sexy house and tech DJ mixes, but it's gotta be right. Not just any old shite thrown together at the touch of a button by some fcuknuckle with no functioning ears.

Pretty much most of the most interesting people I've met can all set a dancefloor on fire with sweeeet mooooves. Ho ho ho.

I don't think you can go thru life without being influenced by lotsa different music styles thru friends/random parties, you know the score.

I'm liking the revolution in sound that electronic advancement is giving to genre's such as funk/soul/ska/reggae... even folk (Brazil have a healthy music scene with a few artists having a few good years wealth of experience behind them creating traditional 'folk' vibe albums with light electronic touches lending to really satisfying listening with their additional layers of sound). On the flipside I also like the trend of electronic influenced artists today, producing music with a live performance aspect (using a band) being central to the music, often resulting in an individual artist orchestrating music for many instruments and essentially being paralleled to original party people, Mozart, Ravel, Schubert, Bach etc. Anyway!

One of the best things about house/tech/techno/acid mixes etc is the mix order/skill itself (and feeding off your audience while doin so); therefore it's a bit pointless putting a ton of generic dance beats up on this site cos if you're the one-in-a-million person who listens to the odd song from other peoples profiles you'll not have me to mix them 2getha for ya for maximum impact. And if you're listenin' thru crummy laptop speakerz... FUHGEDDABBOUDIT!!

I've played (in decreasing order of skill (so starting with the most adept)) Turntables, Acoustic Guitar, Microphone, Bass Guitar, Keyboard, Piano, Organ, Drums, Trombone.

Parties+Alcohol+Great People are key in enjoying good music.
After Parties can call for good, relaxing, often thought provoking, but mainly non-intrusive sounding music. Cars+music+night time driving through lesser familiar cities is a nice combo also. Mind altering substances can't fail to open your mind, not just to music, but to the world as a whole, and to yourself as a part in it. There's got to be more to life than living to work hard in a corporate world.
