+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 :cool:
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. |

i heard it for the 1stime in a suburb in mexico city as
a deep orange sunset contrasted the smog in the horizon
a combination of something both industrial and organic
i think techno has discovered more possibilities and is
more refined now (again only 3% of the tracks are wow
just like with all elec genres) one of the beauties of
music is that it is and endless process... |

the whole part about....i'm glad techno getting more popular and then turning around and saying...i hope techno doesn't become more popular......is confusing.
techno has evolved just like every other sound.... well trance hasn't evolved. It's just trance. Ugh.
But everything else has evolved and will continue to evolve as they get saturated by non-talents.
In any event, all major dj's are jumping on the bandwagon. But..it's those DJ's who jump on the wagon just to be on the wagon that annoy me. Namely, ppl like Dubfire. Wtf? When did he become Sven Vath?!?! I mean..digweed plays more techno these days but when you hear a set with digweed playing techno, you know its digweed playing techno. With followers like Dubfire, I swear I feel like I'm listening to Sven Vath. |

Trance def. evolved for better or for worse.
Well I doubt Dubfire is just "jumping on the bandwagon". Do you think with his accomplishments (grammy awards) and status/level of his career he really needs to "jump on bandwagons" and copy peoples styles to further his career? He was probably in a club just like you and I and really enjoyed the music, got deeper and fell in love with it. Now i havent heard dubfire live in a while but, listening to and buying music from his label I think he has a unique selection in minimal (def influenced by his tribal & proggressive background).
Im not that much of a fan of sven vath so i havent heard much stuff from him but from what I can hear he likes to play off key or flat minor melodic techno, def with a european sound.
Well sorry but I don't want to start an argument about "genres" good music is good music. Wether it be country or techno. But I don't agree with your statements about Trance, or Dubfire. |
