Latest mixes I been hearing along with latest sets I have been enjoying the last year have been more and more turning in the direction of techno coming from DJ who you would normally hear nothing but variations of house music. I don't know about many of you since a lot of you follow trance, which I don’t like since PVD killed it, but techno seems to be making a big come back with music starting to sound better then it used to be but nevertheless in a sense of old school style industrial (afterhours) banging tempo that gets me usually into stumping on the dance floor. I got to invent some new dance moves for myself because I don’t feel like I am at that age any longer to be able to stump it out for 10 hours straight. LOL
Anyway, I loved techno since I first heard it from Frankie Bones and I am just happy to see it making a comeback once again. I feel like a rebirth of my youth.
I just wanted to share this opinion and hear opinions from you guys.
Some of the examples of techno switching DJs are: Deep Dish, DT, VC, Luca Ricci, Murk and a number of others. |

Welcome to last year!
Dubfire has been doing some interesting stuff lately, I always thought he was the better half of Deep Dish. Even in trance there is a big techno influence nowadays. Pig & Dan have done quite a nice transition in the past few years, and Sasha has done really well reinventing himself.
Techno has been around NY for YEARS, it's just that it hasn't been @ Pacha, Webster Hall, Crobar (or whatever it is called this year), the Hamptons, or Jersey. It has been in small places and has had a regular following. You would amazed at the number of local djs that play techno. Trance and house have always been more marketable and tbh, I hope techno doesn't become that. |

I never understood this point of view. Why would you not want the larger venues to support techno acts? If the bigger/marketable guys continue to get noteriety for playing techno, the smaller, more interesting producers will be easier to bring to the small/medium sized venues. Those acts, to me, are a lot more fun. I'd rather see guys like Paul Ritch, Stephan Bodzin, Lutzenkirchen, etc at a 300 person venue than Carl Cox @ Pacha, but the former can't really happen without the latter. |

we all know techno has been around. He was making a point that techno is getting out of the smaller underground venues you're talking about and getting into the big venues. No one is saying that techno hasn't been around.
Pig and Dan have always been techno producrs / djs btw. |

It already is happening.
When Magda played at Bar 13 on a Tuesday, I think, the place was packed like a can of sardines. Same with Bodzin and other heavy techno acts that have been brought consistently to Bar 13 for the past year or two. Memo made a really good decision bringing Rotate NYC, Blkmarket membership and Biatch Corp. on board. |

| Well, I guess we missunderstood each other possibly but I am actually making a point of techno making its way back into the main stream. Telling me that it always been around isn't something I didn't know but that it has been out of sight is a fact for almost last 6 years. While 10-15 years ago every club was pumping techno most of the week and and weekend spiliting nights with house. Then again, trance wasn't yet IT. Nonetheless, techno was once main stream and now its finally back. What started as DJs switching to minimal and tech-house is now picking up speed BPM wise on the dance floor and I love it. Brings back memories from DT birthday party at Studio (Crobar) when DT relentlessly started mayheming pure techno for hours none end and everybody loved it. (DT served it right that night) :tongue2 |

Yes I know, all 3 of those promotion groups have a solid following no matter who they book, and regardless of where they go. Magda was on a Thurs though, and it was at Apartment with Derek Plasaiko of the Bunker.
Bodzin was last september, and it was a free party.
The point to me is, you don't need to be a full on underground techno head to know where these parties are and enjoy them anymore, as the music has been eased into the mainstream veeeeeeeerry slowly. This...to me...is a very good thing. |

| Oh and trance, pre-PVD owning it into 6 feet under, used to be hard banging that it didnt matter if you were on a techno dancefloor or trance dancefloor because you were getting hard pounding base. |
