+1 I wouldn't mind seeing techno become more popular, but at the same time, I'd probably know it's time to fully move on to glitch and beyond once I see events like 'Chris Liebing @ Pacha' posted.
Things seem to be picking up a bit more here in NYC as far as techno events are concerned. I suppose it's kind of impossible for something to grow AND stay away from the mainstream but that would be ideal. Lately I feel like the events I've been going to have been getting smaller and smaller, and the music (and crowd) has been getting better and better. It's great STILL running into TAs here and there at these events btw
IMO there's actually a LOT of great new music being produced lately as far as techno is concerned.. I've been finding tracks upon tracks that just really seem to keep pushing boundaries and I love it. Just to be clear I'm referring specifically to a lot of techno being produced lately, not so much minimal. I like minimal, and there are some good tracks out there, but after a while minimal starts to feel a bit too safe, whereas a lot of solid techno continues to blow my mind every day. For me, it's all about tracks that are fun while still challenging the listener. I'll be looking forward to the upcoming events towards the end of the summer. As well I'll be keeping a look out for more techno locals, and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't curious about what Matthew Dear's got in store for us now that he's moved to Brooklyn. |
We're working on some techno stuff this fall/winter that (if it hits) I'm sure you'll like
