![]() So you were making Detroit Techno before you’d even heard of it? Eventually, they pointed out that the music I was creating was called Detroit Techno. But I did have a few friends that were regularly buying records. There was no internet back then, and hardly any magazines so I just learned to make music on my own. Growing up in a small city called Jönköping outside of Stockholm I didn’t really have other people to bounce ideas off and learn from. “Behind the Wheel” by Depeche Mode was the first track I clearly remember where there was a prominent kick drum.

So what if we instead tried to recreate a record that was already a hit? If we endeavor to do exactly what was done before, would the results be the same? Can we capture lightning in a bottle twice? We asked Aril Brikha if he wanted to give it a try. Whatever the truth is, it’s clear there is no definitive answer to this age-old question. What is the formula for making a hit record? Is it a balance of talent, inspiration, and years of practice? Or is the process simply a matter of luck, or perhaps even the result of some higher powers at work?
