Electro Superstructure no. 34

as soon as the sound hits your eardrum you are drawn into a superstructure made of electricity and webbed drum patterns. it’s immenseness swallows you instantly and as you flow through it’s sonic skeleton you get lost amid the inner depths. inevitably to float out the other side into the silence of space.

this is how i do. heavy mixing various styles of electronic music on 3 turntables to create a continuous flow that seems organic in its movements, smooth in its transitions, groovy as hell with a healthy dose of inner space psychedelics and moments of sheer beauty. on a good day i can create a living entity out of music. this was a good day.
