Why Don't You Change

Collecting techno for me at least, was originally fuelled by the bigger-the-better kick drum, clashing hi-hats and ear jarring percussion. Tastes change, but an intruige in simplicity and repetition, as well as a fascination for the overly complex have always remained.
 
Why Don't you Change is a mix of ambient records and techno B-sides I've collected since launching TEA. It's 100 per cent vinyl sounds (which you will notice thanks to the intermittent mono-to-stereo signal from my worn needles during the first couple of minutes) and was mixed using two technic 1200s with the most basic of Numark mixers.  
 
A recent move coupled with the cold weather and grey skies of a Melbourne afternoon inspired Why Don't you Change, which ended up becoming a mini-ode to those who have influenced my music, DJing, writing and of course TEA - with a special thanks to John Cage, whose teachings and music have helped me understand a different scope of listening to raw, un-arranged and free sound.
 
Mixing ambient and experimental music unbound by BPM's, beatmatching or genre is a very liberating experience and I hope you enjoy this mix as much as I did creating it.
