Elektron Musical Instruments

Don't misunderstand me, all.  I DO make my own beats with the MD and 
they are unique and creative.  Believe it or not, I sometimes feel that 
to get people moving your music must be a bit more accessible.  My 
musical world is big enough for both accessible and not-so-accessible 
music. :)

That said, thanks for the pointers.  I'll give them a try.  Also...can 
someone explain what 2-step is?  I have heard it for years, but I 
couldn't define it if I tried...
