Help Me

Okay, here's the situation: I'm playing a TECHNO (and techtrance) set on the radio in a few hours, and I need to play at least 2 Canadian tracks to satisfy stupid broadcast laws. But the only good Canadian techno producer whose tracks I have is DJ Preach. Somebody PLEASE give me the name of a techno producer or techno tune of Canadian origin with a style like Preach/Picotto/Marco V etc.

Thanks in advance.

why not just say they are canadian even if they aren't
as if people actually knew anything about techno

Max Graham is Canadian.

probably too late for this go-round, but for future reference a few other quality Canadian producers (other than the already mentioned Max Graham), off the top of my head, would be:
Luke Fair
Greg Benz (or Benz & MD)
Brad Copeland (though I don't think he has anything officially released)
Misstress Barbara
Marty Villeneuve (or MV)
Tiga
Mateo Murphy
Miche & Sultan

that sounds kind of ridiculous that you have to play a certain amount of domestic songs.

CANCON (Canadian Content) rules....a certain percentage of the content broadcast by all Canadian radio and television stations must be from Canadian artists....it's not that ridiculous when you think about it (except that it means crap like Nickelback soaks up way more airtime then they'd otherwise deserve)

not that ridiculous? that's being racist... and don't try and down play it...

Racist? hahah - I think you're getting a little bit ahead of yourself.

Requiring that ONLY Canadian-produced music be played could be construed as racism, but that's not the case in Canada.

Play a Preach track and a Misstress Barbara track and you're done. You can also play stuff from Richie Hawtin (aka Plastikman) or John Aquaviva, they are both Canadian if I'm not mistaken.

racist? ahahahahaah.....not even remotely
there are definitely pros and cons to the policy, which is part of the Canadian broadcasting charter - but none of the arguments against the policy (some which I agree with, particularly the ones which argue that the policy comes at a heavy financial cost to taxpayers) speak to it being "racist".....at the end of the day, the purpose of the policy is to ensure that Canadian broadcasters dedicate a certain proportion of their airtime to supporting Canadian artists and productions (and ultimately their jobs); not really an unreasonable request

It's the CRTC that mandates it and they are the people who give out broadcast licenses. Most radio stations in Canada are required to play 30% Cdn Content, to save our music I guess. That is the law and it has always been that way. So lameass stations play nelly furtado, the barenaked ladies and nickleback on repeat to put more money in their pockets and to make the CRTC happy.

Posted by torontotrance on Apr-22-2004 22:08:

and yes Richie Hawtin is a Canadian Citizen, same with his friend John A. So play their tracks, both quality as Canadian.

I'll probably be too late here but, richie hawtin - minus orange

not racist? your taking supremicity over other cultures & their music... and worse its being MANDATED... how is that not racist?

Posted by Wretched on Apr-23-2004 02:35:

You fucking dunce, it's mandated that A PORTION of the music be made by Canadian artists, not all.

You need to familiarize yourself with the word "race."

I'll save you the time:

"1. A local geographic or global human population distinguished as a more or less distinct group by genetically transmitted physical characteristics.

2. A group of people united or classified together on the basis of common history, nationality, or geographic distribution: the German race."

Its to preserve their cultural integrity...its a pain in the ass for them and theyre still democratic, so its not a big deal

2 track only wow , that's not too bad, imagine having to play 60% canadian music, like the radio here, it's impossible to have an electronic station cause the law is 60% has to be canadian, which totally sux, only good stuff should be played, who cares where it's from, i don't even listen to the radio lol
