definatly....you draw influences from all sorts of genres and even being at parties and listening to mixes you find out the way others mix and even applying an element from another genre into your music
thats what keeps the music going

what if you couldnt be influenced tho?

what if you were on an outpost left to your own devices and only the tunes you buy?

how differant would your mixing/producing style be?

would you even be into it as much?

hmmmm.....

boredom has definalty gotten to me today.....but its still quite interesting that your style could be vastly differant if the access to all influences was taken away.
