It is a gamble, because techno is dance music. And although it`s all very nice getting away from the formula, you still need to retain some repetition, becuase it is these electronic mantra`s that lock the groove and work the dance floor. I think the problem with some experimental stuff is, that the dancefloor is forgotten, while the producer admires the inside of their own rectum.
I`m trying to reach some kind of happy medium. But it isn`t easy.
