There are three main things that inspire me: samples, other artists and critical feedbacks. In the last 10 years, most of the time, the first was in duty, samples CDs, new instruments, new patches, and especially new drum sounds gave me strength to create. We went to see Berlin Calling in the movies with Paul Kalkbrenner, and it was great to see someone at work, who is doing something similar like me, pressing down keys, turning knobs up & down on the mixer, spends time with his hobby. He’s a respectable crazy mf, we are not producing the same kind of music, but the enthusiasm is similar. This is why I am still sniffing around house music, and I don’t give up on this genre.
The other positive feedback was from another electronic musician, TL who says I do better on Downtempo tunes, which I completely agree with, I think I need more help, and more input/feedback from outside to create quality four-to-the-floor music, than in the case of slower, head-nodding hip-hop like tunes. He wrote: “Recently uploaded “test83” is good. By the way – but of course I can’t be objective enough – I think that from quality and good ideas point of view, 90% of your triphop/downbeat themes rule, 10% are average, while in case of electro, it’s rather the opposite. Of course this is hobby, do what you like, but what you do with sample based downbeat things are much more interesting. These have solid, ready to play basic grooves. I think a little producer and song composer vein needs to be added, to work these songs into something like Yonderboi songs. Supposing you consider comparison to Yonderboi a compliment…
