Graham I think that you should get your own radio show...


It could be called...

Highroller's Hits:Where it's all talk all the time, because everything sucks

Vdub and Slingshot could be guest panellists in a Crossfire type format.

Hahaha.

All I've listened to in the past few months is uzic.ch's minimal stream.

All the TIME

On the flip side, I think the popularization of techno is doing great things to the scene in our city. Up until recently, it seemed the only parties large amounts of people would get excited for were parties that featured a small list of Radio 1 DJs or Dutch trance DJs. It made "big parties" seem rather homogeneous for the longest time. Now, we are getting big parties like the Time Festival on Saturday, which is breathing a much needed breath of fresh air into our scene. I think if Sunday goes off well, it could set an interesting new precedent for parties in Toronto.

Btw, I'm not trying to complain, nor am I trying to tell people the way things are. I'm just trying to generate discussion. Some of you people need to relax!

This is one of the best discussion threads I've read on TA in a while--great topic.

I'm with Highroller's original post--I've been saying this trend isn't my cup of tea for a while. Too much in the city though? Not sure. If that's what the people of Toronto want to hear, that's what they should hear. Then the trend will slowly shift in as the DJs guide the music into the next "big sound."

I haven't been going out to certain clubs or to hear certain DJs because I know they are on the minimal/tech-house kick. It'll be interesting to observe the trend on the Bound By Sound boat cruise tomorrow, with SO many of our locals booked to play.

Going out too much? Who said that? That's like saying "you're listening to too much house music" or "you're breathing too much air." For real though, it's not a bad point. If you're getting bored or annoyed with the music, probably a change of venue or even a break would be a good thing.

Personally? I would love for a tribal-trend come back. *dreamy sigh*

TRIBAALLLLLL

Originally posted by The Highroller Most times, tracks are incorrectly called either one of these genres, when really what is usually being described is tech house.

Is it though? When I think of tech house, I don't think of anything clearly definable either...and I certainly wouldn't group it with or confuse it with minimal. I think of bumpy and deep with driving rhythm and lots of percussion, a la Terry Francis...or quirky, tinny, acidic, and again bumpy, a la Nathan Coles. Or add more deep grooves and get Funk D'Void or Justin Martin, etc., etc.

Tech house is a term that gets (mis)thrown around a lot as well these days, imo. Seems like any track that has any shred of "techy" elements is labelled as tech house...when I think tech house is more about vibe than structure. There's just so much more to it than it sounding "techy"...and ffs how long is the list of what makes something techy??? Blargh!

All that aside, if it isn't too much of one thing, it's too much of another. If people were less concerned with the next big thing and more concerned with truly appreciating and understanding what's going on RIGHT NOW (and just good MUSIC in general, none of this genre-whore shit), there'd be a lot less of these one-trend bastardization bandwagons rolling through town.
