My route to techno was a bit different. I was always a speedfreak as a kid so I went through happy hardcore, through gabber, into hard techno (Scorpio, Producer etc) and then into Speedcore (Loftgroover, HMS, Bezerker etc) Then it struck me that techno records at 250 -300BPM don't actually make much sense, and after a while it all just sounds like...noise?!

I chilled out a bit, slowed down a bit, and looked for production quality and atmosphere instead of just speed. Got into people like Mills, Clarke etc, and then my fate was sealed!
