I didn't really have a choice in the matter.. it was like :love: at first listen..

I had always embraced the harder and darker side of music. I grew up listening to rock, but always wondered why every band employed the same instuments.. Were there no other viable instruments available in the 20th century? I got into industrial when I was about 14.. It was different and new and not the same thing everyone else listened to.. I loved how it strayed from the norm.. I always liked the rhythms and sampled sounds of hip hop.. and I loved the sub bass.. One day in '96 while trying to make a home and friends in a new city, a coworker put in a tape called "Energy Force" by Frankie Bones.. It's a kick ass tape I still love to this day (wish I still had it), lots of X-Sub, Groovehead, Hyperactive type trax.. 15 mins into it I was bouncing around like a mad person. I had never been to a rave and had always been given the impression they were full on homosexual orgies (fair play, but just not my thing..lol.) I told my coworker, "Damn.. this is fukn badass, I would totally go see this guy.." He said Frankie was going to be in Denver 2 weeks later and invited me to do.. I went and my life hasn't been the same since.. Techno combines everything I've ever enjoyed about music into 1 genre.. The weird sounds, the relentless rhythms.. and the bass.. my gawd the bass..
