| Hopefully this weekly thread helps other techno heads who may be wondering whats happening this weeknd and what to expect of some djs you may have never heard of. Anyway any recommendations for some good techno this weekend? I know Josh Wink is not hard techno but I am considering checking him if there is no techno worth checking. To all the others who have responded in the past- thanks for the suggestions. |

Do you really need to ask whats going on every weekend?
Theres an event section and a party planner ya know.... |

| didnt think it would be a problem- mainly to get opinions from people who may have actually heard of djs who I(or others reading this post) may not have heard- also to maybe get some discussions going. If you disagree then close it. |

The way it appears, well to me anyway is....
I don't trust my taste in music enough to make up my own mind so TA please make the decision for me and tell me where I should go lol
If you want to start a discussion... for example... say about Josh Wink. Why not post in the event thread? If there is no event thread be helpful and create one.
If it was once in a while, then fine but its becoming an event weekend thing. If thats the case make a "Tell Taurus where to go this weekend" thread and keep it all in once place please. |

Well you are sort of correct that when I post a topic such as this one it is because I dont trust my knowledge (not taste since I know I like techno) in certain djs. So I am trying to pick the brains of people on here who may have prior knowledge of the DJ's and in some cases of myself- since I know some members here who are familiar with my taste in music and have actually recommended some good nights for me based on knowing me through past posts.
That being said I thought it would be more time efficient to post a topic like thi rather then going to each event I have i question and asking people what kind of dj's these people are. I have no problme posting a thread like "tell taurus where to go " if that is more acceptable- just tell me which forum that would be better suited. Also, in the past similar posts have gotten responses so I thought thats a good thing since it keeps people active on the forum. I dont really see the problem- but let m know what is preferred. |

haha euphoria beat me to it...yea this weekly thread is beginning to get out of control..i see where you are coming from to get other peoples opinion about a dj that you may not be familiar with. thats cool and i dont mind sharing my personal opinion. but than again, thats my personal opinion which may be different from the way you see it in opposition to everyone else, as well.
you are being lazy; the best way you can learn about the dj is simply by researching the dj on your own...his productions as well as some gigs his been at recently to get a sense of what to expect. and from there you can make a more solid comfortable conclusion about how to spend your night.
like i said, i dont mind telling you how to guide you through the weekend (also bc it gives me something to do here at work) and what i believe you should be checking out but also it would suck, for you, if the event doesn't meet your expectations as i thought or would wanted it to be. also, everyones opinion may conflict so stop being lazy and instead of creating a weekly thread...go on youtube and stay there. :toothless
as for josh wink- i'd say go! i believe i'll be there simply bc i havent seen him in a while- although, i did catch him at DEMF but that was for a measly hr or two which wasn't enough for me tbh- soo, with that being said the fact that he'll be spinning for 6 hrs :eyespop: at the bunker and for just $10 (early bird tix, if still available)...i don't see myself passing on that. but then knowing you from your previous threads, i wouldnt recommend him to you bc he simply doesnt fit your taste of "hard techno". hes more on the minimal side...but dont be stuck on just one genre, instead branch out and get a feel for the various music. |

You suck- just kidding- I hear you I actually had a hard time finding stuff from the guys on that BlkMarket Party (Dan Bell, etc) . I may check out the Josh Wink party if I get motivated to trek back out to BK- Im outta here.

My $.02.
Resident Advisor is very techno skewed, so if you're ever really all 'i dunno what's good' just see what's the most popular techno event.
The blkmarket party looks to be pretty decent. So does Miss Jools. Though I don't know any of the dj's all that well.
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.
And maybe it's just me, but the techno scene seems impossible to keep track of all the different DJs coming through. I've been listening to a lot of it for years now and I usually have to google around for more than half these guys each week. And they all end up usually sounding about the same any way, ha. |
