What the f**k is going on?
And in answer to this question, it's probably got a lot to do with the number of people knocking out tracks after downloading some cracked software, 3 months after doing pills at their first party. No knowledge, no respect, no talent, just wanting to get their name on a record. People are releasing music before they have matured through their own experience and practice.
Nah man...

I'm talking about established techno artists and and labels. All the recent Lifeform releases, although sounding like good enough tracks, just don't sound balanced correctly. It's not something that you can sort with the gain controls on the mixer either. It's like you can't even use the records because the sound quality is so poor...
