Five seats left, and applications do not close until October 6. If the next three weeks go anything like the first week did, this fills before the deadline rather than at it. So if you were planning to think about it in October, think about it now instead. What you would be signing up for, short version: Ten weeks.

In this post I want to talk about one of the most powerful concepts in electronic dance music that most intermediate producers completely overlook — call and response. I've been producing psytrance for over 25 years, and in all that time I was also experimenting with techno in the background — never releasing it, but always learning.
