Definitely! I always find myself heralding winter with "It Is What It Is" - synthesized strings and crisp 909 hi-hats work so much better when it's cold than they do during the summer, I find. Over the summer it does seem to me that the music I listen to becomes a bit more melodic and a bit more "soulful" in a lot of ways, which becomes less desirable as the cold sets in and my tastes drift back into a more synthetic and electronic mindset. Being originally from Glasgow, I kind of suspect that if I still lived there then I'd listen to techno all year round, as it's during the cold months that that music appeals most of me. I have to admit, though, that the music I've been listening to the most in the last week or so is early 1990s British techno! My bedroom floor is currently covered in Black Dog, B12, Nuron, Stasis and Reload EPs, which all seem to go quite well with the current climate...! Brendan http://www.lunarselector.com
