I would like to see an interview where a fresh faced techno artist says he liked sasha and digweed, tiesto, etc. and just ended up liking techno, because I'm sure it's happened.

hipsters like these things ironically in that they put a premium on musicianship. the synth is seen as a cultural relic like a particular pair of sunglasses or an old fashioned camera. it is often used by hipsters as symbol of retrospection within the music rather than a machine for producing novel sound, like the original manipulators of the synths used them for. it's also important to realize that certain synths were never meant to be used for the types of sounds for which they came to be famous.
I'm also amazed at how much time they spend to get an authentic sound (solely for the sake of being ironic).
Brauer says: "You could hear people talking and then someone would sshh them!" "It can be really boring when people have too much respect," says Frick. "A bit like the half-intellectual German techno scene." But don't the Germans take their techno very seriously? "Too seriously." they chorus. "That's the problem," said Brandt. "Apart from the Panorama Bar in Berlin, everywhere you go outside Germany you can hear more interesting music on the dancefloor."
But is BBF's music ultimately about dancing and having fun, or is it for listening? "We absolutely don't want to decide what it's for," says Frick. "It's both," says Brandt. "If I were the crowd," he continues, "I would be listening but I would move slightly!"

I went to a night a few month back that was "inspired by David Mancuso" and "in the spirit of The Loft", hoping to hear some disco rarities. It was just plodding techy house re-edits all night. I fell asleep on a sofa.

isn't that the truth, though.
no different than sewing band stickers on a vest.
I can't fucking STAND it when a night is advertised as disco or 'paradise garage' or something, and I go and they're playing shitty nu-disco and ableton edits of obvious classics. Happens pretty often in the city.. I don't know if it's a global thing, or just like an NYC pride/faux-heritage claim but there are an awful lot of disco 'themed' parties.
The musical equivalent of dying of thirst on while trapped on a raft in the middle of the ocean.

I kind of like that first tune in the video.
I think it's a commentary on how people listen to the music, the sets, the speakers, instead of experiencing. As in, we over-analyze instead of enjoying.
