Firstly, AMEN BROTHER! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and enthusiasm! Do you reckon you could break down the sub-genres of popular EDM, particularly the differences in House, and Trance? I.e. the overall structure, character, sound design, tonality, etc? I hope those Metro Gnomes are staying safe!

Heck yeah bro!! Love me some DnB, so watching you put together the track was informative, but also a blast as well. When you said lead I had already been like, dude needs a lead to put it in the realm of big stage banger. :D I'd love to see/listen to you put together any sort of jungle-inspired track, even if it was a post-modern style of said genre, as the whole sound palette of that is totally underused WELL at least nowadays. Love the video & happy music my dude! p.s. I almost forgot: Hell yeah brother!
