Reverb!!
I've been digging for new, preferably techno, music through the "Related Artists" tab on Spotify for the past week or so... Starting with Carl Craig, I somehow ended up on Squarepusher. The most interesting part of all the songs I've listened to was unique usage of reverb and space. Whether it's a pad drowned in a long reverb or just a gated snare, our choices with reverb are as emotional and powerful as any melody or tempo. I would really like to see our group focus on being aware of the types of spaces our instruments are in. Squarepusher's "Red Hot Car" is an awesome example of this... The drums are dry at the start, but sound completely different by the middle section. It'd be cool if we could compose with changes of reverb in mind.
