Jazzbo is correct - I do not know much about the music genre you mention. There are people on websites that know more about this than me. I will help if you get stuck but there are people more up to date with your type of music (I am an old man) and who could probably give you better advice too. But one thing I will say - investigate what you are getting into or you are going to end up buying a lot of stuff you don't need. You can create this music without a DAW but it will be very difficult to edit and process the different parts. Remember Jean Michel Jarre's 'Oxygene' (an entirely electronic album) was recorded in a dining room with a reel to reel tape and no computer in sight. He did however have access to a lot of vintage synthesizers which would cost an absolute fortune today. It's possible but a lot trickier to deal with. A computer opens doors to easy editing and manipulation of takes and samples. And it makes your compositions very visual - a big help.
