Lol at the Reloop gear convo....

That's the problem.

I use EDM as a catch-all. You don't want to appear pompous. The fans understand the word and use it. They pay the bills. Don't be a snob.

Really interested to what Nile Rodgers does with Daft. He is one funky ass talented mother fucker.

Did you know he produced this for Will Ferrell. It's a joke but the funk is there, Tight! :
