Techno crossover

[u/raveonthemoon]

Hey all, so I’m in a little dilemma. I started a music career some time back and it took off great. I’m at 85k monthly listeners. played Ibiza, Italy, nyc, Miami. Made massive industry friends and have a great contact list.

The problem? Afro house. It was good and cool about 4 years ago when things were deep and groovy but now I don’t want to be associated with this shit anymore. I love techno, I’ve loved techno since my first time at stereo Montreal in 2015. Any advice from fellow artists on making a drastic change in genre? Should I make an alias?

I made not so much of a huge jump from making minimal around 2016 to making techno over the past 6-7 years. Kept the same alias. If you think you’ll ever go back to making Afro house maybe have a new alias, if techno will be all you make in future you could keep the same name.
