[ LINER NOTES ]
THE FIRST SONG on the Enter The Spektrem EP was “Loretta”. Of all the songs I made, “Loretta” was the one that made people go the most nuts when we played it live.
The first time was in Orlando, and I’d never seen anything like it. People started making woot woot sounds — something that would kind of happen organically in very high energy moments:
That’s me, jumping around like an idiot. The other guys is Mike, who was the Spektrem DJ for a few months. I hated DJing. I had no idea what to do with myself. I was much more suited to being alone in my room making music. I thought I had to be really high energy on stage. I didn’t understand that didn’t necessarily mean jumping up and down for fifteen minutes straight. C'est la vie.
THERE WAS ALSO A VOCAL VERSION, which was how I originally intended the song to be. My team at the time convinced me to take them out. They were probably right.
But the vocals did give the song more value, so it wasn’t just this aggressive big room house track, but actually meant something. At least to me.
