Bob Moses - Enough To Believe (Don Basti Remix Hardtechno)

Elles - Feiern für Alle 28.08.21

"A second is a hell of a long time."  

Sometimes, when I'm down in the Labs, doing my thing--you know--I'll have an idea and I'll work toward that idea I had.  (It rarely ends up close to my idea, but that's another story.)  

Other times, I'll just jump in the pool and see if I can swim.  I'll play around, I'll look for sounds that I can build on or I'll come up with some chords or maybe even a melody line.  It's just trusting that things will come together as I pick the things I like and discard what I don't like.

Just so I don't lose these proto-ideas, in case something crashes without warning, I'll save the project.  To do that, I need to come up with a project name.  I try not to overthink this part (which I have a tendency to do about everything), so I often pick a word that describes the vibe of the track so far, or I'll come up with a clever turn of phrase that I might want to work into the idea more, other times, I just come up with something truly random.  There's no rhyme or reason to it.  

This is one of the times where I just saved the project with the randomly chosen word "zoning."  

Now, the fun beings when I pick up a project that I had temporary shelved (ahhh, the fun of adult ADHD!) and try to get myself back in the mindstate I was in when I gave the project its temporary name.  I tell myself "I must have meant something by this" (even though I know that sometimes I didn't.)  This is how a lot of "temporary project names" end up as song titles, even though they hadn't meant to be the final product name--sometimes, arbitrary focus helps my neuordivergent brain.  

So it was with "Zoning."  What does "Zoning" mean to me, I wondered...realizing that I'd left myself very few scraps of half-baked ideas in this project file.  

Wouldn't it be cool if I did a song about Urban Planning!  You know, density, walkable neighborhoods, eliminating stroads and changing single family home zoning to multi-family or mixed use zoning?  

Maybe that'd be cool--but, we'll never know...because I didn't do that.

I went forward with the idea of "Zoning Out"--the idea switching your brain off and thinking about nothing.  I could not follow this path based on experience, as I don't think my brain has ever been switched off, the hamster wheel inside my skull is always spinning at ludicrous speed.

And when I started bumping up the tempo--to the point where this track ended up somewhere between Psytrance...Hardgroove...and NRG--I quickly realized this would NOT be the music to "zone out" to.  

Seattle is currently all excited about various sports teams--the M's are one win away from the World Series (it would be their first), the Seahawks are doing well, the Kraken just started their season.  The Sonics are still spitting on David Stern's grave.  It's a thing.  

Athletes can get "in the zone," what scientists are now calling "flow state"--and that just sounded like a good way to tie in title "zoning" with the uptempo techno trance euro Frankenstein I was creating.  And all Interbay songs on SoundCloud do need a vocal element, the pieces fell into place!  

This is more of a Saturday night track than a October weekend sort of track--just fair warning. 

Please listen, like, repost, share, comment, playlist and follow.  New Interbay every day (so far!)

[My tracks are mostly still in progress. So no prejudices, gladly constructive criticism.]


Don Basti, a 30-year-old DJ and producer from Weinheim, lives and breathes electronic dance music. He discovered his passion at the age of 14, and ever since, EDM has been as vital to him as the air he breathes.

For him, nothing compares to that moment when a track kicks in: the head snaps forward, fists pound the air, and the bass, synths, and drums take full control of his body. That rush is pure life force.

His energy is boundless. Without music, he feels like he's trapped in a straitjacket, restless and hyperactive. But the moment he creates or performs, he unleashes it all in an explosion of sound and emotion.


"The music is the drug - try it!"

Don Basti made his debut on January 16, 2015, at the legendary Tanzhaus West in Frankfurt. Since then, he has continued to evolve with relentless energy and an uncompromising sound. Most recently, he held a residency at Mission Techno, where his sets proved time and again that his music isn't just something you listen to-it's a liberation.
