Re: Please... Someone turn off the Arpeggiator
From: Matt Xavier [Gruvhaus] JEEEEEEESUS CHRIST!! I've been reading about this garbage everywhere...I hear it get mentioned ALL THE TIME...i'm not sure what it even sounds like... To be honest, and to my blessing, i never hear it in LA. Things here have been musically great lately! Lots of techno, tech house, minimal and electro (real electro, like idm breaks from some far off world, not these chumps who stole the name) I feel for you Phil. Don't worry mate, we're naturally not heading in that direction with Railyard... we know Cheese is cheese...and doesn't take long to melt down. =P As for releases...i'm really diggin GAISER...his track SCATTER is sick...love the fx and crunch...his new ep is also great. we've been blastin his stuff on those new self analyzing JBL monitors....super TIGHT!
