Wow I completely missed on that! That was an excellent read my friend!

Thanks a lot Ed! Forgot I wrote this one haha! A full month ago already, time is flying!

While I still have or need to join this challenge I totally adore the fantastic submissions to date. So many great details, sounds, experience and details I learn, thanks for that one mate.

Thanks a lot Uwe! I'm sure you'll come up with an epic post with your music background and knowledge too! Looking forward to it :)

If I manage it then I will try my best mate.

It's easy to enter :) Just pick one of the posts with music you like to say something about, and bring forward something you love and get down a few (or more) words about it :) Waiting for you Spread the Vibes! ;)

As promised on Twitter, this post was waiting for a comment from my side; Got out of bed early this morning to attend to my backlog :) You selected a perfect one from my post to comment on. Not only Etapp is a super DJ and producer, but he does with me what he did with you. The atmosphere he creates is one that is almost impossible to not get sucked in. Ok, ok, that counts for me, since I love this particular style of Techno. I do understand, for others who are not too much into this style, one may need to be in the right state of mind to appreciate it and to flow with the music. Whenever I hear such music in a club, I by default am in that state. But also when listening at home. But I must admit, I don't listen to techno to often at home. And when I listen, its more like the Lanoche kinda sets, or Etapp's chill out sets.

Owwww, I do like your D&B selection! Listened to parts of it and will definitely listen to the whole thing, bookmarked and all and will explore more from Hospital Records. I must say, this mix is more approachable than the occasions I listened (and tried to dance to) D&B, at side rooms when a Techno event (or something like that) was happening in the main room. Somehow I love the fast sound of D&B, but was never able to dance to it for long :) Maybe not even for a short bit of time....soooo fast! I'm a noob concerning D&B so have no idea about the artists and the variety in the genre itself. But, will figure this out along the way :)

As you say: Such a shame D&B is finding its more commercial routes. Usually, the underground side of a music genre or style is what I like more as well. With Techno the same happened. It's totally mass market today resulting in a lot of bad productions, and even more bad DJ sets. The advantage of not being in the underground anymore is for the artists of the genre. They earn higher fees when performing.

Super you are on the path (and in the 'business') to provide the underground side of D&B a platform. Artists need a way into the professional world. With so many artists around, so many productions created, it is very hard to stand out in the crowd.

You made it 😃

I loved that Etapp set you shared - those deep vibes that let you dance purely to the rhythm and bass - beautiful! I actually found it therapeutic and wrote a couple of blogs in that set so if you have any more of that Deep Chill Techno sounds, fire me a link! Great for concentration and focus for me!

You'd definitely like the older Hospital Records sounds I think. Those were soulful liquid funk vibes that you can chill to or dance too. I much prefer these sounds vs the in your face style jump-up and neuro - seems we're in to the same atmosphere of music, just at different tempos haha!

It's a shame to hear that about Techno too but I think these things happen in cycles and things will pivot back to how they were, maybe not for a while though! I understand why these genres tried "mainstream" out - the bills need to be paid and it can be more lucrative going for mass market but I'll stick to what I like :)

Yeah I've been in and out of the radio shows for the last few years and we were often trending in Mixcloud charts for a week with our Drum & Bass shows (getting between 600-2,000 plays in those weeks) but it was definitely a labour of love over anything else. All about the music for us and if we liked it, we played it! Nothing more technical than that haha! Maybe we'll restart again later in the year, we'll see!

I'll be digging into the early D&B when I get a bit of time to do so. Hopefully, I can take some days of work in springtime and gives me some room. In the meantime, I'll collect some link for you on the deep-techno-with-style. How wonderful Etapp's set is therapeutic for you. It's for me too. But not for when I work, but for when I can spend 100% of my focus, ie in a club, at a festival or even at home doing nothing other than listening to the sounds. On such occasions, I'm one with the music, which is very much like the mental state of meditation. Spending some more time in such a state revives me completely. Any negatives is turned to positives again and feel fresh to conquer live again, That's why I so much miss the festivals and club nights. They are not only fun for me, but also therapeutic.

I think it's a true testament to the music if it can be on in the background when you're working but you can also dance to it when in the right environment in a night club. I have it with liquid dnb but sometimes, when the vibes are so good, you can't work and you do then become at one with the music, feeling its vibrations and frequencies going right through you! I'm right there with you man, when all troubles go away, you live in that one moment with everyone else around you and it's only about the music.

So True, So True.... 🙇

Yey, @nickyhavey , super response to @edje's post. I am listening to To Better Days, and music and that photo ARE inviting my feet to the beach. 😎😇🎶

I hope you can recover your music from your PC :)

Thanks a lot man! It took some time but hope it was worth the wait 😃 I am looking forward to getting back to the beach again and hopefully one day we can all have a beach party listening to all kinds of music like some sort of beach music festival!

I hope so too man - I'd be heartbroken if I lost that. I do keep back ups but I was ready to send 4 new tracks off to the mastering studio before things went wrong. Hoping the I.T. guy I know can work some magic!

Hi @nickyhavey

Sounds everything great in a sentence that contains: beach, music, party, festival 🎶👍

Fingers crossed 🤞 for I.T. guy's magical power ☺️

Btw, you say to me man just because you use that word when you speak to someone in informal way, or you think that I am a man? 😋

Just asking because you are not the only one who called me today that way, so I am a bit concerned about my appearance 😆

Haha, sorry, yeah I do say "man" quite a lot to everyone. I even said it at the weekend when I was walking with my female friend so don't worry! It's a habit of mine 😄

Even when the profile picture is a tree or something, still say "man" haha!

Haha,I know :) It was just strange today someone other thought I was male. So your man came like : oh noooooo, I need to change my profile picture 🤣

Hahaha! Ah man... I mean... woman... That's going to take some rewiring to not say "man" to you 😄

You should do a post saying "Stop calling me man, man!" 😁

Hahahaah, no, I am fine. I have had different names already. I will start from yours

Man, woman,🤣 then miss mipiano, Lady piano, smartypants 🙄 , tio (spanish... like if you would say bro) Gabs, but 99% is mipiano :)

Damn I really hope you recover that music man, I literally just bought all my mates a usb drive for christmas because A few said their drives just crashed so they can back it up. I always tell myself I'm gonna do it and then never do. Right tonights the night i'm going to do it and am manifesting some positive energy so you can recover the tunes my man <3 Big Love

Thanks mate! Yeah I'm usually pretty good at backing everything up as I did just have a repair done to that music PC but would be really annoyed if it's unrecoverable! Hoping that my PC expert can sort it all out and we can forget this episode ever happened haha!

Believe me, there will be a big explosion of new music being shared an released so that it's forever on Spotify and the blockchain haha!

Thats exactly why I fell in love with the chain the last time, the immutability of the putting your works up plus IPFS is just still wonderous to me 😍 definitely man I really hope he can get it off for you

Definitely man! Plus with the way this blockchain works with the rewards distribution, it's just a mind blowing concept to me too!

I'm trying not to lose my patience with the PC at the moment. Every day that I don't have it is making me more twitchy lol!

Mhmn I know that feeling it may translate into you just wanting to make more bangers those use that energy!!!

Oh wow yes I just saw your tweet and came in so yes I'm going to have to reblog this and check it out tomorrow. And be at a time where I'll be able to read it better and to follow the post

Thank you for stopping by from the tweet! So you're the one with a tabby cat 😃 Hope you enjoy the music and would love to read a similar post from you for this fun challenge too!

I have questions do you have know music. like your about base and drum I think i have memory. and sounds of it
and you know that but always know what instruments are playing i still have to through your blog. oh wait where millions miles away in time zones

Feel free to ask questions about the music! Drum & Bass is an underground electronic music genre - more information about it is here on Wikipedia - it's been around for a few decades - I love it!

oh okay well that's that's good that I really want to just want to know if I had to have any knowledge of instruments like you do

Oh I see! No not at all! Almost all of the time, you don't have to read anything I write and just click the play button and enjoy the music if it's what you like 😃

Loving this challenge and now I get to be involved in it. Thanks for the nomination Nicky and the music. Loving what you picked, but will go into that more in my post xxxx
