Some of the mad high-tempo, low-tech bangers of the 1990s just wouldn't fit in any modern DJ set and so younger generations were less and less likely to be exposed to them. Similarly, during the great minimal techno re-write of the mid-00s, certain styles (trance, prog, breaks) were considered deeply uncool and the dance music press made a concerted attempt to downplay their significance, acting like the entire previous decade was a superclub folly and the correct lineage led straight from Chicago/Detroit through Berlin to the monotonous Germanic styles du jour.
But then what happened? People started making good ecstasy again, the tempos got higher and the music more euphoric, and suddenly everyone remembered how great the 1990s were after all. DJs like Ellen Allien, once the bastion of '00s Berliner minimal cool, have started playing Man With No Name tracks in amongst banging high-tempo techno. |
"Dragonfly Records, the trance arm of Butterfly Recordings, was a seminal label in the Electronic trance music lineage and arguably the first UK / European Goa Trance label.
The label was founded by music producer Youth and based at his Butterfly Studios in Brixton, London. Butterfly Studios was home to an awesome setup with a 24 channel DDA desk, Amek 24 channel 2" Tape, Lexicon Reverbs, Eventide H3000, Ensoniq DP/4+, Bel Delay & Flanger and innumerable vintage Analogue & Digital Synthesizers."
