the resurgance in percussion within the Techno Genre.... (pg. 2)

I disagree, I think that techno is moving into more melodic areas rather than percussion based.
Artists like Deetron and Joris Voorn are fine examples of this. They both seem to have had their runs doing faster, loop based stuff (The Last Dance, Incident), and now seem to be bringing long, sustained pads and warm string melodies back. |

how nice is this?
whilst I've hardly been complaining over the past few "minimal" years, the last few months have seen a more pitched down style of the old ben sims/ adam beyer/ rolando/ {insert techno legend here} playing a lot more percussive techno, and I'm ing loving it...
Saw Robert Hood last weekend play some serious ing turn of the century style techno to a crowd who are supposed to be the most forward thinking outside of Berlin......
Whilst playing one of the best sets I've EVER heard, he managed to clear the room, simply because they couldn't handle the sheer pace and hardness he played at (at points he was touching 145 BPM+, still playing minimal..... he taught me a ing lesson I'll never forget)
The majority of people moved to the second room to listen to middle of the road ploddy techno, interspersed with trance classics (one of the residents genuinely played VdM - Fly Away)......
Is the minimal fad over? I know I've been making more percussive stuff for a while, but I hardly think I'm a ing trendsetter, do the Techno fans on here want to be hearing more percussive beats? at what point does synth replace percussion and vice versa?
looking forward to the replies on this bitch..... |
which club mate? And if you find any sets of a similar ilk, send me a link, I'm interested into how that works. |

I think Derrick May is one of the best techno DJs on the planet and [[ LINK REMOVED ]]
should every one need to know. Good techno (and some house), filled with percussions, groovy beats and beautiful melodies. Not one beat loop played million times, not minimal, not schranz . |

at what point did I say Ben Sims and Adam Beyer were detroit techno?

and if you think Adam Beyer and Ben Sims are stupid fast loopy techno, then you need to off and reevaluate your life |

i'm getting ready to play a 135+ detroitish set tomorrow
the only kind of minimal i can really love is robert hoodish and dan bellish minimal
the robert hood interview on RA is good too
http://www.residentadvisor.net/feature-read.aspx?id=901
I love how he lives in a remote Alabama town. |
great interview, love how he thought magda was a german dude :stongue:
record the set :)
as for the hood set, it was Dirty Disco at this warehouse thing at the victoria works in leeds, perfect venue for techno, shame about the crowd, wouldnt' have thought it'd have been recorded, which is a massive shame.
I'm glad hood has gone back to his roots, absolutely mental 3/4 deck action, as the last time I saw him he was playing Doppelwhipper :stongue: |

One thing that distnquishes the original Detroit sound from later-day stuff such as this was the "soul" it had, meaning that it also entailed musical elements not just a bunch of fast looped drums.
+1 for Rolando though. |
