Ok, but that doesn't mean that people have stopped listening to hard banging techno. Psy trance probably doesn't sound cool in a bar nor is it appropriate to do social networking unless you are a druggie . But that doesn't mean that people have stopped producing it. I don't think the sounds of 2002-03 are stale. Subjective opinion ofcourse, but I totally think the current minimal sound is pure shite. And I'm sure there are a lot of people who think like this. Also, many people go through phases of listening to different types of musics. Maybe people who appreciate the minimal stuff have listened to a lot of EDM over a number of years and want something new. But there are people who are fairly new to this whole scene and still find the 2002 sounds fresh. Or people who still love the 2002 sounds over whatever is being played now. My 2 cents.

Dave the Drummer also does tech house ish electro ish techno, though under different alias.

Yep, he said that he's playing two different styles now: techno/acid techno and electro house/minimal... He uses "Henry Cullen" alias while playing minimal/electro house, as he said: "THAT IS THE NAME I AM NOW GOING UNDER FOR MUTATE TO SURVIVE". All of "Dave the Drummer" sets I have are pretty banging

No, but those are the reasons for it not being played at techno nights these days. People don't go out to have a big rave and lose it anymore. They go out to chill and hang out with their friends while getting pished at the bar.

As I said, I think one of the main reasons techno has gone towards a more minimalistic approach is the backlash of the perc/loop techno popularity in the early 00s. People were getting tired of hearing Mr. awesome 3 deck techno DJ banging out 25 perc loop tools per hour, so when the big shots went into minimalism, the rest followed. At this rate, it wouldn't surprise me if the same backlash happens again with "minimal" in the future.

i could list titles for days, so instead, i'll recommend something that i had the opportunity to attend myself a few days ago. edelstahl (stahlplatten label) played in a dirty warehouse outside of stockholm. a perfect combination of concrete, cheap can beer and banging techno. what a bliss

It's already begun. 'Maximal' techno, anyone?

Originally posted by mphreak Well, I'm into his new style for a while, so I like his new stuff a lot. However, I saw him few months ago at his Oldies Goldies session, and he was spinning pure techno like he was spinning few years ago... I'm still big fan of "Torture Chamber vol.2 mix". Plenty of good stuff there.

The Torture Chamber 2 is my favorite mix by Umek... Probably because that's one of not very much original CDs I've bought.
And I bought it loooong time ago so it has a sentimental value as well.

Technasia - Evergreen III (I suggest checking out all the Technasia stuff on Beatport!)
All Joris Voorn stuff :P
Tiga & Zyntherius - Sunglasses At Night (Chris Liebing Mix)
Safety Sessions - Maru (there's a particular mix on a vinyl I have that is AMAZING
Rozzo - Into Your Heart (John Selway Remix)

That's all I can think of, off the top of my head :-)
