Big Techno come back!!!

Latest mixes I been hearing along with latest sets I have been enjoying the last year have been more and more turning in the direction of techno coming from DJ who you would normally hear nothing but variations of house music. I don't know about many of you since a lot of you follow trance, which I don�t like since PVD killed it, but techno seems to be making a big come back with music starting to sound better then it used to be but nevertheless in a sense of old school style industrial (afterhours) banging tempo that gets me usually into stumping on the dance floor. I got to invent some new dance moves for myself because I don�t feel like I am at that age any longer to be able to stump it out for 10 hours straight. LOL

Anyway, I loved techno since I first heard it from Frankie Bones and I am just happy to see it making a comeback once again. I feel like a rebirth of my youth.

I just wanted to share this opinion and hear opinions from you guys.

Some of the examples of techno switching DJs are: Deep Dish, DT, VC, Luca Ricci, Murk and a number of others.

+1 dude, glad to see the resurgence of support for techno in NYC!

Welcome to last year!

Dubfire has been doing some interesting stuff lately, I always thought he was the better half of Deep Dish. Even in trance there is a big techno influence nowadays. Pig & Dan have done quite a nice transition in the past few years, and Sasha has done really well reinventing himself.

Techno has been around NY for YEARS, it's just that it hasn't been @ Pacha, Webster Hall, Crobar (or whatever it is called this year), the Hamptons, or Jersey. It has been in small places and has had a regular following. You would amazed at the number of local djs that play techno. Trance and house have always been more marketable and tbh, I hope techno doesn't become that.

I never understood this point of view. Why would you not want the larger venues to support techno acts? If the bigger/marketable guys continue to get noteriety for playing techno, the smaller, more interesting producers will be easier to bring to the small/medium sized venues. Those acts, to me, are a lot more fun. I'd rather see guys like Paul Ritch, Stephan Bodzin, Lutzenkirchen, etc at a 300 person venue than Carl Cox @ Pacha, but the former can't really happen without the latter.

we all know techno has been around. He was making a point that techno is getting out of the smaller underground venues you're talking about and getting into the big venues. No one is saying that techno hasn't been around.

Pig and Dan have always been techno producrs / djs btw.

It already is happening.
When Magda played at Bar 13 on a Tuesday, I think, the place was packed like a can of sardines. Same with Bodzin and other heavy techno acts that have been brought consistently to Bar 13 for the past year or two. Memo made a really good decision bringing Rotate NYC, Blkmarket membership and Biatch Corp. on board.

Don't see it happening. Somebody needs to bring Gabriel Ananda, though!

Well, I guess we missunderstood each other possibly but I am actually making a point of techno making its way back into the main stream. Telling me that it always been around isn't something I didn't know but that it has been out of sight is a fact for almost last 6 years. While 10-15 years ago every club was pumping techno most of the week and and weekend spiliting nights with house. Then again, trance wasn't yet IT. Nonetheless, techno was once main stream and now its finally back. What started as DJs switching to minimal and tech-house is now picking up speed BPM wise on the dance floor and I love it. Brings back memories from DT birthday party at Studio (Crobar) when DT relentlessly started mayheming pure techno for hours none end and everybody loved it. (DT served it right that night)

Yes I know, all 3 of those promotion groups have a solid following no matter who they book, and regardless of where they go. Magda was on a Thurs though, and it was at Apartment with Derek Plasaiko of the Bunker.

Bodzin was last september, and it was a free party.

The point to me is, you don't need to be a full on underground techno head to know where these parties are and enjoy them anymore, as the music has been eased into the mainstream veeeeeeeerry slowly. This...to me...is a very good thing.

Oh and trance, pre-PVD owning it into 6 feet under, used to be hard banging that it didnt matter if you were on a techno dancefloor or trance dancefloor because you were getting hard pounding base.

Before that, it was last year.

Free until 12, and nothing will ever get packed at 12.

Well, it was bound to happen at a point. It happened to trance with the wave of dutch djs and again with the whole electro sound 2 years ago, and I guess the music industry needs a new trend. It will be a matter of months before this trend becomes old and people will eventually get sick of it.

i just broke out Michel de Hey - Snert (Djinxx Moods Mix) because of this thread

all depands how the sound will evolve. so far i been loving how techno got less head numbing in a way. the reason for it i think is because new talent making music with different point of view on the genre and because the DJs that made the switch to new sound are coming from house background that has an entertaining flow to it.


PS. Get your hands on early electro/minimal mixes from Vath & Hawtin/ May that will blow your mind how fawking awesome it sounded for early 90's.

what is not to love about techno making that comeback

I honestly started with trance back in 2003, but then I found techno in 2004/05 (thanks to Preach when he was banging techno back then and playing Aria every Friday night in Montreal) and I haven't looked back since.

The only unfortunate thing is that most of the techno acts I love don't come to North America, so I need to make the travel to Europe to see them.

I for one welcome our new techno overlords.

My travel plans going to Europe always include a flight into Frankfurt first thing on the night Hawtin + Vath play Cocoon.

Too late.... Like trance, maybe 10%, at best, of the tracks I hear in techno sets are sounding good anymore.... I think every mother's brother has beaten it to death already (minimal, I'm talking about), whereas, however, techno (TECHNO techno) will always survive... The style of and energy of Chris Liebing will always be more pleasing to my ears than most tech producers post-2005, I think there's only a certain amount of combinations of wierd sounds you can put together. Afterwards, like trance, it's just an copy of a copy of a copy of a copy, with very few people breaking boundaries (like Maetrik or Phil Kieran and Dusty Kid).

Isn't the 10% rule true of all EDM? I mean think of how many shitty electro house producers there are for every deadmau5/chris lake/dirty south. Like all music, the more popular something becomes, the greater the likelihood for shitty knockoffs. But, if it weren't for shitty popular stuff, the good stuff might not see light of day. It's like we talked about in the DJ Sammy thread. Even though he's got no credibility with the underground, DJ Sammy (and similar acts) brought trance to the masses and made it more paletable to the general public, and as such allowed the more underground acts to get more recognition. Can't do a US tour of a techno act unless people outside of NYC have heard of them

techno has always been around
just was not as popular
like reen said the music scene has been changeing like from 2004 minimal became very big out of nowhere and has been popular ever since, but since like maybe 2007 it has been going more of the techno sound like a higher bpm and a lil more drums so i like to use the term "maximal" but as for straight up fuck me while iam running banging techno it will be around but its just not as popular right now
but it will make its way back times change
like i said before everyone was playing minimal and switchin their styles, now more techno sound has come into the picture and ina few years maybe the sound will be a lil bit faster and harder we will have to see
even nyc dj's have been switchin their styles
that big room tribal sound is not what it used to be alot of dj's are playing less and less of it and i just dont mean the big djs i mean even the local djs at pacha basement, alot of the times i go down there its lots of minimal/tech house
for me personally i just dont like how techno is mislabled when its really minimal (via beatport) makes me sick
so on the dance floor i could listen to maybe a hour or 2 of minimal but then i need some more drums and wicked baselines to get my ass moving
speaking of techno...anyone know when carl cox is commin back?
guy tore pacha to shreds last year
