A good summary. Out of interest have you dabbled with (musical) keyboards at all?

Monday night homework ramble chat - the "smiley"
Know you guys are a bit younger, how much was it around for you?
My recollection was it suddenly becoming a media thing, and plastered all over the tabloids under the mantra "acid house". I think at the time was a bit sad, as what for a while had felt like a bit of an underground movement/club had suddenly exploded. All of a sudden it was headscarves and smileys everywhere, plus some shocking pop tunes. I'm pretty sure I never owned any shirts or whatever, but there were posters, and some record covers.
It seemed to gather some momentum again later as a "rave" symbol, I've seen it a fair bit while poking around on you tube.
With the bad press that went around for a while, I think my parents thoughts I was off my spanners for a few years (when I actually wasn't). I'm sure Mr Cook as Pizzaman, was having a bit of a joke/pop with the sex on the streets tune.
It always kinda amused me that not so many years later the smiley returned on the phones and social media. What for a while seemed to be portrayed as symbol of "bad stuff" was acceptable again

Yeah, I have a Native Instruments Maschine Mikro and Kontrol M32 keyboard. I dabble now and again but I always find I get mental block or the tune I am working on ends up sounding lime something that already exists. Its pretty hard.

I remember when the face was only found on little blotters, then it became the "signpost" for finding warehouse raves, you would follow the acidman.
Then, like you say, it was commercially high jacked and used to bring acid and early rave to the masses.
Around '93, there was a push to drive the scene back underground but still make it above board, Rez, Vision and Awesome events fuelled that, the music was still raw and special but the events felt big and organised for the first time.
Clubs started to pick up the feel too, all nighters that felt huge but in small venues.
In Scotland, we adopted a different sound to England. Down south breakbeat "happy" was still the main style whereas up here we adopted the more raw, harder Dutch sound and producers like Scott Brown and Gordon Tennant transformed it in to a sound that became known as Bouncy Hardcore or "Tartan Techno". Tom Wilson (RIP) was instrumental in driving the scene forward up here.

Nice. I didn't come from a musical family but in early-mid teens had a couple of "high street" keyboards and self taught. Only really became moderately competent with the one hand really, too many distractions with drum patterns and effects for the other hand to put the time in! Might be something to come back to one day.
I can sympathise with the 'block' comment, I have thought about going for some software that allows/enables making tracks but am sure I'd just end up with things I already know, some great tracks can be so simple but you still have to come up with them, and I think I likely just wouldn't have it.

I've not read the whole thread but wondered has anyone else tripped over the lo-fi type of stuff on YouTube?
Generally remakes of existing music with a slower more relaxed but electronic feel with emphasis on the odd bit of record noise/needle skip etc.
I'll give a couple of examples on my playlist for the gym or relaxing in the garden in the mornings.
Then the sillier stuff but equally entertaining

Welcome along. It's anything goes here really, the thread for me confirmed what I thought I knew - in that this genre (if that is the right word) has gone off in so many directions with so many facets.
I had posted this one earlier but we've been mostly lazy and not done the media embedding, it may fit close to the arena you are referring to
