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.
