Real techno doesn't just go boom-boom. There's also the random screeching noises, an occasional hi-hat and the hardly audible muffled vocal samples.

There were a lot of inaudible muffled vocal samples in Blawan's set. And also some good hi-hats. This I do recall.

Go to a festival that has a Sunday School tent, and just stay there the whole time. Then you get about 500-600 people who are all there to dance and not just stand there looking cool.


When I was at WMC I skipped it completely. :P

At Electric Zoo this past year the lineup in Sunday School was awesome.
Day 1:
Luciano, Reboot, Argy, Frivolous live, Mendo, Robert Dietz.

Day 2:
Sasha, Paco Osuna, Chris Liebing, Claude VonStroke, Koze, Mathias Kaden, Maya Jane Coles, Sleepy & Boo

Day 3:
Boys Noize (techno set), Marco Carola, Buttrich/Squillace/Tanzmann(awesome), Dixon, Djedjotronic vs Strip Steve, and Umek.

And you can also take breaks to go laugh at people in furry animal costumes stomping around to dubstep.

Did a spectacularly poor job of tailoring to the slot, though. I did find it enjoyable, but I wish someone in the techno room had been playing like that at 3am instead.


Yeah, that doesn't surprise me considering why he's actually getting booked these days.

Blogs gotta keep themselves busy somehow.

I spent a lot of time in that tent (like I usually do), we probably ran into each other and didn't even realize it...

hats are the key to techno. the kick makes you stomp, a proper hat sweep pattern gets the hips.

guess who i think is ridiculous for being in the 40's. Gotta love votes for Djs you never saw.

also maya jane coles trying to mix music is like water and oil.

I probably spent maybe 3-4 hours outside of that tent the whole weekend.

why those people kill themselves and bury their bodies under the floorboards in my garage?


Posted by Dykes_on_Jay on Dec-05-2012 16:47:

is their hair afraid of their face?

Nina?

terrible video, this guys are rolling on M lol... i like 1st track any ID?� But it takes way too much time for him to "mix" the next track... howcome can you do this on an event such as timewarp...

Play your set and then burst yourself all you want.

This shows how ineducated even the techno crowd is, it is like

-"hey we have to fist pump now!!"
-"oh noes he hasn't mixed the next track in yet, lets calm again"
-"here it coooooomes" "-no..."

this list might be just as bad as the DJ mag poll. Atrocious. Then again i wouldnt even know who to vote number 1. living in cali basically makes it impossible to see a lot of the lesser known artists whose tracks i like.


Posted by Rodri Santos on Dec-05-2012 23:55:

polls have never been based on live acts, 15 years ago even seeing the n�1 dj was a feat, now they travel even to smaller cities but smaller artists... impossible to catch them. Producing is of course the most rewarding thing poll wise.

There are producers that i never was really interested, just knew them, thought their productions were just ok, saw them live and... wow. Gaiser's case.

But basically right now to top any poll what you need is:

-An active internet community, Facebook, Twitter,Soundcloud...
-Productions regularly played on radioshows, on labels that do a good pomotion (very few nowadays)
-A sucessful radioshow.

The awesome gig you had in Indonesia a month ago...sucks balls of 99% of your fans, while your radioshow, or your new hit instantly impacts them.

EDIT: Also, that Troxler vid is fucking hilarious. The guy's face at 5.48 after he's leaned over to try and fix Seth's catastrophic trainwreck is priceless. Troxler is clearly off his box, but it's like someone has told him how to mix and shoved him behind the decks for the very first time.


Holy fuck. That guy's face


Posted by Adam420 on Dec-06-2012 00:59:

holy shit, I didn't see that before. It's like he's thinking "what the FUCK is this guy on?". Seth probably did a pile of K right before.

That's Crosson and Reeves playing with him. He looks beyond obliterated.

He drops a fucking bomb, though.

Which was what, sneaker in the dryer played at a low volume?

The only saving grace is that if he can fuck up like that and truly not care/still get paid, more power to him. These embarassing dj moments are great at generating press. What would Sven Vath or Ricardo Villalobos be without trainwreck videos such as this?

In the end its just a party. Yea timewarp is not the place to do this, but I'm thankful that it happened on someone else's dime because I just cannot stop laughing at it. There is not a single fucking thing that went right in that entire clip.

What a shit show!!


Posted by wotyzoid on Dec-06-2012 07:30:

Whatever, the track he drops is hot! I wanna know what it is actually.
