NEBRASKAS VALENTINE 2

NEBRASKAS VALENTINE #2

Touch People is then new solo music project from me, solo music project guru DARREN KEEN.

I am from Nebraska. I make polyrhythmic dance music inspired by minimalist composers and combining 808 gonzo bass with actual bass guitar wizardry.

This is music I produce to play when I DJ. You should do the same.

I like Footwork / Non Hessian Trap / Juke / and Old School Synth music.
