Tech and Techno - A music blog

I was recently commissioned to create a music blog for somebody. I love my music so I jumped at the chance. The blog is simply a themed WordPress designed by myself with some help from a friend.

The blog itself concentrates on the techno, electro and house genre of music. There are plenty of blogs out there that do this already – but this one is different. Every week since the blog began the author has interviewed a big name in the industry and this has made the blog very popular in a short amount of time.

It’s worth a read and even a bookmark.
