hahah so true.
People need to branch out creatively more.

I honestly raaaaarely if ever, listen to techno if I'm at work or at home.
I have more jazz, and hip hop in my collection of cds and music than I do anything else. It's important for me to be able to find little things in all of that, that can be applied when making techno, in subtle ways.

I'm sure many other people are like that as well.

But if all you listen to all day is techno and then you go to try and make techno.. you will inevitably, unnoticingly, mimic something you have heard.. even if you don't mean to.
Thus the whole incestuous, samey shit we are hearing a lot of.

Booooo

Go listen to something else people
