Up until quite recently I though most electronic music was pretty bad. Most of the stuff that was thrown into my face was quite commercial and horrible. But since I was a kid I was always interested in understanding how it was actually made. I found this toy when I was around 8 years old, and my parents got it for me. It was this dj mixer with pre-recorded sounds and an extendible midi keyboard. I loved that machine to death, but eventually it stopped working. But still I had no interest in the music I was listening to. More than a decade later I fell in love with electronic music, as I ended up finally discovering artistas worth mentioning and listing too. Aphex Twin (genius), Biosphere, Ceephax Acid Krew, Venetian snares... now my whole life changed, and I have been trying to learn as much as I can about the subject and trying to give it a go myself! So this is what I have to ask: 1. Do you like electronic music? 2. How did it start for you? 3. Do prefer the commercial side of it, or the underground side of it? 4. Would you ever consider making your own songs? 5. Do you have any favorite artists or songs in specific? 6. Do you attend parties or raves frequently? Have a great day, with some cool sounds in the mix :)

1. I listen to electric music but usually the ones from the Scandinavian countries like Sweden,Norway and Finland. Specially Sweden, Sweden always make the best electronic music I ever heard. 2. I remember It started when I heard the song Botten Anna by Bass Hunter.Then it got solidified when I discovered Aarmin van buuren,I found Aarmin van buuren by accident, There is a metal band in the 90's known as scheer and I was tryng to find information about them after they broke up, I found out their vocalist collaborated with Aarmin and they created beautiful music together. 3.I dont mind the commercial ones, specially the European ones, On the other hand, hate the American ones. 4.I can compost songs, usually the electronic songs I like are the darker ones not the happy ones. 5.Audrey Gallager, BassHunter, Nichya (this is a Russian act) Loreen(she is more commercial but I think but I still like her)Aarmin van buuren,Bastian Van Sheild,Tatu,Dark orange, This Ascension. 6.not really, I am a workaholic
