Aside from the fact that it’s about damn time I made a Techno mix, I made this mix as a sort of a tool to play for people who had negative impressions about Techno. I wanted to show them, that with a sense of humour and a willingness to experiment, Techno is a lot of fun to dance to and play with.
So, I recorded two sets….

And after you’ve listened to that version for a while, listen to the one below…
gl.tch – Let’s Talk Techno (4am Delayed Onset Mix)
On this one I overdubbed a series of samples and vocals…too many to bother listing. Seriously.
All the tracks are the same but they just have some extra spice.
In a way I wanted to re-create what goes on my head when my mind catches a groove. And how after a while I begin to imagine lyrics or make sound associations until I lose myself in the music and dancing. There’s also some jokes in there you may not get or appreciate. But hey, if you can’t stand this version or you’re in mixed company: you have the original!
I hope you have as much fun listening, dancing, and showing this mix to friends as I did making it.
Hot Jambalaya!
