U.S. Techno

This is to all you US people out there!

I'm pretty much into techno, but I know pretty few good american techno producers. Isn't DJ Preach from overseas?

I really lack of knowledge here, so I'd be glad if you people over there could give me some tips

Appears....the detroit techno addicted man

Forget preach, he don't matter

All you need to know is the following

First Wave of Detroit Techno

Jeff Mills, Kevin Saunderson, Kenny Flashin Fowlkes, Derrick May, Juan Atkins, Mad Mike Banks, Robert Hood

Second Wave of Detroit Techno

Carl Craig, Kenny Larkin, Stacy Pullen

Jeff Mills is the best dj out of them all

Derrick May is the best producer but he is still in self imposed retirement because critics dissed his album in the mid 90's, he only records with system 7. Pathetic if you ask me

Holy...!

Can you recommend me any US techno vinyl store which offers samples?

Posted by torontotrance on Apr-27-2003 20:15:

Actually there exists a detroit techno shop that never really advertises and you have to know ppl to get in but it houses one of the most complete detroit techno libraries available for sale

www.axisrecords.com

nice place to start

that's jeff mills's label

Posted by Noisician on Apr-27-2003 20:19:

nah, detroit techno is dead. just admit it

Posted by kurai on Apr-27-2003 20:22:

Do we talk about the same Detroit Techno?

Here in Switzerland it's considered to be hard stuff, but well people have mixed up those genres here, it sucks. Don't diss me for that fact.

So what exactly do you call Detroit techno?

Posted by torontotrance on Apr-27-2003 20:23:

no it's not and I don't think it will die and remember it's because of detroit and juan atkins, derrick may and kevin saunderson is the reason you have techno in the first place. So without detroit techno, you technically would have never had european techno.

Posted by torontotrance on Apr-27-2003 20:24:

detroit techno is simply techno with more string elements and more innovation behind the tunes instead of the typical european bang the helluva outta you techno

Posted by Noisician on Apr-27-2003 20:26:

even if so, it still sucks

The typical european bang the shit out of you techno (e.g. Kay D. Smith, the stuff that DJ Rush plays) is called Detroit Techno here. Confusing huh?

I was actually looking for a little harder stuff, since I found some really nice US techno tracks on a german "schranz" compilation.

Posted by torontotrance on Apr-27-2003 20:27:

u go, dude! tell him what the true techno sound is. not that detroit anachronism

"more string elements" yeah right, gimme a break

Posted by torontotrance on Apr-27-2003 20:29:

actually it does...then again...you don't know that much

remember again without detroit techno...acid techno never would have happened.

Posted by kurai on Apr-27-2003 20:30:

Help what have I done

Posted by torontotrance on Apr-27-2003 20:31:

never worry it's usually

acid junkie and verminator vs. tta

jeff mills's latest cd is good

c1 is good (throws detroit techno and european techno in that mix) and he even got to use a Underground Resistance track on a compilation (which is very difficult to do and very rare)

Posted by Noisician on Apr-27-2003 20:34:

detroit techno had no or little influence on acid techno. they have nothing in common acid tec made its own path in the evolution process. actually, acid house is much closer to it

Posted by verminator on Apr-27-2003 20:36:

remember that without the bongamonga music the cavemen made 300 million years ago, there wouldnt have been any music at all!
