dana, what labels are you introducing to karma? at no fault of april or gecko (as they've always been very courteous to me)...i've tried to explain to the past buyers at karma what i typically look for, and i've always gotten a lot of confused looks, or plastic reassurances. nowadays, i look for a lot of the analog sounds (less effects or "dry" tones). stuff like Soul Mekanik, Ben Mono, Dirk Technic, Phunk Investigation, etc... if it's four-on-the-floor, breakbeat, or two-step, it makes no difference, as i spin multi-genre. i pick up tech-house(ish) or even electro-clash(ish) plates a lot too... the eurotrash vocal tracks work as well. just curious as to what kind of fresh sounds you're bringing to the wall...
