Nope, i ain't forgetting nothing
I'm not into detroit techno, that's why i didn't post them

I only listed labels i love best

Grr so many damn european techno lovers...i got stand up for detroit. But how can you miss UR on any list even if you don't like detroit techno.

Posted by Noisician on Mar-21-2002 23:35:

dunno... i just like harder (much harder) stuff. yes, i understand detroit is the mother-genre of techno as a whole...but it's like errr too soft for me i kind of prefer trax with more energy in them. well... EVIL energy actually I like those evil acid tekno monsters... sorta show the whole power of techno or hard german techno - now that one is absolutely amazing those guys make the hardest techno slammers out there... Alexander Katz, Kay Smith, Andreas Kremer, Harald Klotzberg, Thomas Pogadl (to name a few) are simply geniuses
sorry, but detroit just doesn't work for me

... and as for the label - why don't u make a list of YOUR favorite labels, so u can include ones u really want that guy to know about?
