Commonly asked questions by people who aren’t fans… • Why does all techno sound the same?Honestly, I promise you it doesn’t.

There are druggies in every social setting. A hefty amount of the artists actually preach no or safe drug use (I.e. • What’s with the lights?Strobe lights are just part of the culture.

Because it puts me in a thinking mood. Just me, my thoughts and a beat slowly building to get that thought train going. It’s perfect for people who just need a couple minutes to themselves to get lost in their own minds.My absolute favorite progressive house song of all time can be found in the link below.Deadmau5 – Strobehttp://soundcloud.com/user2727940/deadmau5-strobe
