I've been producing electronic music for about 17 years now as hautlle. I tinker with electronics/computers a lot and have built a couple of my own MIDI controllers.

Nice. I liked your "Feel Good Track of the Year". the beginning of "Mega Man III" really reminds me of Aphex Twin. When I'm not listening to black metal I'm listening to electronic music, mainly drum n bass like TeeBee, Black Sun Empire, Boards of Canada...
I also really like newer Skinny Puppy, but that's more in the industrial vein I think.

Bicycling really isn't so much of a hobby as a way of life for me. Like you drive your cars, I ride my bike. That's not to say I don't drive once in a while or ride along with my girlfriend when we go somewhere. But I still bike a lot for recreation in the warmer months. Right now, it's point A to point B.

Right on man, thanks for taking the time to listen! Glad you enjoyed. I wouldn't quite call BoC drum and bass, but that's neither here nor there :cross: I've been into the experimental side of electronic music since I was about 12/13. BoC, Aphex Twin, Squarepusher, Autechre, etc... Basically old school WARP Records. They're the ones that turned me on to electronic music and inspired me to start producing, but I've played the drums since 5th grade. The crazy cut up beats were what really got me into all of that stuff!
 
Playing my small assortment of guitars/amps, mountainbiking, my guns (although the guns aren't really a "hobby" - self and home defense, but, hey, they're fun to take to the range now and again)...my kids are pretty grown, so I have a bit more me time these days
 
My Jeep. Between that and brewing I have a hard time keeping any cash in my pockets
 
When not brewing the BBQ, RV, Boat, Tractor and grandkids keep me busy.

Yeah, I wouldn't call them dnb either. Just something I listen to. Haven't been able to get into Squarepusher. Right now, TeeBee is what I'm really into for dnb. "The Legacy" is dead on for what I love in dnb. What got me into dnb is Goldie's "Timeless". That first track is awesome.
Do you play that dnb stuff on drums? I've got Johnny Rabb's jungle/drum n bass book, it's great. I don't play much out of it like I should though. I do mostly death/black metal drumming. But, when I'm not in the mood for the aural assault of metal, dnb is where it's at.
Music might actually be my biggest non-brewing hobby.

Cheers!
 
There are several other hobbies I have, and it's hard to rate them.

Shooting black powder guns, making the balls/conicals/bullets for them (casting lead), making the various other things needed for them, backpacking, hunting, fishing, music, day dreaming, driving somewhere far, especially small towns, and BBQing. If only I could learn to play my bass it would be listed too… My 4 yr old has always wanted to come play when I did, which made it impossible.
 
Dude, I want your job! I have to make up fake family members deaths to get a day off.

If you only knew. I do the manufacturing for a small company and everything is on my own time. Go in when I want, leave when I want, bill my own hours, etc etc. As long as the products get shipped I'm in the clear.
 
my hobbies so far (cant count homebrewing yet as i havent done it!) are indoor hydroponic gardening, riding my atv, creating atv ride videos.



can't post pics of the hydroponic garden, might get in trouble on here lol!!
