Hai all. I'm James and I hail from south Devon in the UK.
I love all kinds of music from electronic to prog and classic rock, metal to drum and bass, blues to OST (who doesn't like Hans Zimmer?), but I've been listening to mainstream EDM since I was about 4 or 5 during the early 90s. The sound of the genre (and it's many sub-genres ;D) has always resonated with me and when Trance really took off, I was in heaven.
In terms of trance, my tastes vary as new favourites come and go depending on my mood, though currently I'm loving everything the Tritonal, Markus Schulz, Gareth Emery and Arty touch. Above & Beyond's projects are always a safe bet too.
I do produce my own tracks using FLStudio varying from trance to chillout and eventually I'd like to try ambient and drum and bass. As I'm very early in my learning I'm not actually pushing my productions out so much yet. I hope...one day....
Also like to spend time gaming on the PC, though I'm sacrificing gaming time to concentrate on learning the techniques of production - a good call I feel.
Anything else you want to know, just ask. I'm new on the forums but been listening to AH's shows for many years (I believe I looked into you guys after a podcast I listened to started playing a ah.fm jingle
). At the end of the day music is my passion, both creating and simply listening and I look forward to sharing this passion with likeminded peeps and getting to know you all.
