And finally, I saw Wink once @ Sully shortly after "When a bananna was just a banana" came out. I enjoyed the album by my friend and I where very 'meh' on his set. He seemed to play to a more eclectic and classic acidy techno housey something something. I can't remember exactly what I didn't like it just stands out as one of the performances in the last few years I left being disappointed. Maybe it was a fluke or the crowd influence, I feel like you get more old timers at sully than Bunker.

was that the Blkmarket party? |

Which, Wink? I wanna say it was Basic NYC since it was @ sullivan room. I think I saw him and Dahlback a few weeks apart, both @ Sullivan Room, and didn't like either. Maybe it's just that club...
[edit]
Found it, Wink @ Basic NYC Feb, 09 . Which places it a few weeks before Dahlback, 3/6/09, but I remembered wrong as he was @ Cielo. |

yeaaa..that was with basic @ sully back in uhh cant remember the date exactly but i do remember that it was during the week of save the cannibals bc they didnt let me into rebel since my ex wasnt on the list and she didnt wanna pay so we ended up hitting up wink. that was the last time i remember seeing or hearing of wink in ny.
yea btw, that blkmarket party with bell and even the house assasins with miss jools is all minimal techno so nothing "hard pounding" nostalgia for you mister. hit up miss jools tho on sat and experience a new scene (which i much prefer over anything). |

wow, i don't really see hte problem with this thread. in fact, i'd been gathering info and researching DJs from the other threads taurus has made. the best way to learn about a scene, new djs, and new venues is to learn from people who are more experienced and/or have different opinions from you, and check out their recommendations.
hell, i'd like it even more if there was one stickied "weekly techno shows" thread up here... it'd let me know about my options, and would help me even find new music. i think that techno is well enough defined that people would know what to post in there. |

i kinda dig this but the main problem is that there's a constant conflict between user and promotion... so if a thread like that were made it would just turn into a "promote techno shows of the week!" thread. i'm not saying that i have anything against promotion here, just that it's difficult to separate the promotion from the general suggestions. the best thing you can do is keep your ear to the ground...if you check out the promo threads and investigate you'll discover new ...and if you trust a certain users tastes- take a look at what they're attending! it could help, too, if some of the users who did promo threads would write up like "if you dig that dark thumping tech vibe you should def look into this guys stuff, cuz i think you might enjoy it" instead of copy/pasting generic promo data. |

VINDICATION!....thank you Bear and Lounger- I also did not see what the big deal of this thread was since it sparks some discussion and also gets opinions from people who have actaully heard these people live. Beleive me proir to posting it I did try soundcloud and youtube to hear some of these guys play but either the clip was from years back, or its just singles that they have done, etc it never really gives you a good feel for there sound. I know in the past a few members here have commented on my taste and actually suggested I skip an event since it may be more of a funky - housey techno event and I appreciate it since I wouldnt really have enjoyed myself. That being said I love to listen to all types on my mp3 player but when i go out I go out to listen to the type/genre I like to hear and some pople here understand that and can give good suggestions.
I like the idea of a weekly techno thread - just for people to discuss DJ's etc, sometimes you do not want to go to every party thread and have one off questions when you can get all the information in one thread. I thought the point was to have people discussing things not limiting it.
Great suggestion Bear.

lol i see it differently than you guys...i dont care about a "weekly techno thread", thats cool..i dont mind giving my opinion, in fact, im all for it.
but, creating a thread every single week? thats not necessary and we dont need this place having 5 threads of, hey whats going on this weekend...that creates a mess here (also find it quite annoying). not to mention, the farthest that thread will get is no more than a pg, two if that.
make this your official thread weekly, bump it every now and than and problem solved.
also, bear...who are you & where did you come out from?? i find it funny that within half a yr of being a member & only under 10 posts...you only pop up to bitch...at least taurus is an active member, therefore i can tolerate him a lil more. |

I dont think Bear was bitching at all...hes like a cobra waiting for his moment and then he strikes lol...tolerate me lol thats just wrong- so fine Ill update this thread every once ina while to keep it going and see if people join up. What does bump the thread mean? I personally think this should be a permananet thread- for all us techno heads.

lol my bad tolerate wasnt the correct word i should've used, no pun-intended.
bump the thread simply means, when you see the thread dying out- in other words, fading away, getting to the bottom of the page- "bump" it (post on it) so it becomes one of the first threads again so it can receive attention, once again. |
