do a handful, literally, of posts outside the "techno" talk really make your eyes bleed when read? :conf:
I really would love to defend myself here but given that this is a "techno" thread now, that'd prob be a bit ignorant of myself...or you would think. Allow me to explain why I say "now".
Clearly, I don't just stumble upon here while searching for the "boring k-music" thread bc I contribute to the subject just as much as everyone else here. But, out of curiosity, since when did this thread become only-techno talk? As I recall, this thread got created by a former noob (all love Taurus) who kept bombarding our section with weekly threads asking for guidance. Just a year ago it was all the talks about what I consider this thread to be, techno along with the underground scene. As I look back and go over our first posts, nobody seemed to get a titty attack when the subject wasn't strictly about techno bc that's not why this thread got created in the first place. If it were so, howcome nobody (out of the ones thats been here for a while) sought to create a techno thread in the first place? um..prob bc no one thought it would get this much support. All of a sudden, you guys make it your home to just techno. I suppose I must have missed the memo somewhere along the thread.
So, with all this said, I will continue to post about what I have been posting since the commencement of this thread! or is that wrong? whatever, hate me! :toothless
edit: I'll share this gem as a kick in the door

Oh relax, I was just being a bit dramatic in the last post. I do stand by what I said about Maceo Plex though, that I do mean.
I guess I just feel about this trend the same way the "elders" felt about the whole mnml trend 5-6 years ago. A lot of filler and less quality, not to mention the attitude and the silly outfits (anyone here remembers the mnml scarves??). A style of music with slower bpm and that is 4/4 doesn't mean it's house; it's just a grossly glorified and mislabeled collection of 80's sounding music with a "fresh" take. The "disco" headbands, wayfarers, use of neon and retro clothing and looking like bums makes it all that much more ridiculous. It's basically the hipster scene keeping up with the "EDM" times. This is this time's mnml, with the exception that good minimal techno was not as hard to find as it is to find good nu-disco nowadays. And let me remind you that while everyone else was just getting on the mnml bandwagon and before most ever even fathomed that nu-disco would be a thing, I was listening to Lindstrom, Prins Thomas and Todd Terje (to name a few). This trend is a temporary thing and will die just like the original disco (srsly, how many times will disco be "brought back"?) and like the mnml. What will come up next?
Just please, for the love of God stop calling it underground cos it isn't. Nothing is anymore, especially that style.
I guess I'm getting old. Now get off my lawn! :whip:

I kind of want minimal to come back. Sci-Tec is still putting out good minimal occasionally. |

College, maybe?
It was the same thing as the "nu-disco" hipsters (literally. Same people.). I used to call them mnmlhpstrs back then.
DUDE. I just found a 3-year-old ipod in my storage the other day. You have no idea of the amount of minimal I found.
I have some intel, btw. Anyone remember Schubert, minimal techno producer and Sci-Tec artist from DC? He's releasing an EP on Minus in the next few weeks ;) Heard snippets and sounds amazing, really hope he becomes a regular over at Richie's camp, he's incredibly talented. |

My thoughts exactly, that's why I italicized the word underground. I'm not a fan of nu-disco. Not going to front, some of it grows on me and depending where I'm at I can dig it but for the most part, it's just not my cup of tea. The way that I feel nowadays is that there are soo many sub-genres of techno & house, and intertwining, out today that it gets somewhat confusing as to what is what. DJ's now are too busy trying to find the "next" sound but as we've seen it it only has a minimal lifespan- I give nu-disco two years (max, prob overestimating this) before it dies out. idk what it is that they think, the slower the cooler? Whatever. Very few stick to basics and remain original. But what are you going to do, be jaded and bash everything that you're not used to or dislike?
I'd love for mnmal techno to come back, that's where I'm most comfortable at. But for now, I've had to settle for and grown attached to the house-ier side of things (tech/deep/mnmal). Now, stop making me type so much for a day! :clown:
In unrelated news, I'm in the mood for some good ceviche. I've heard/seen some good things about ya, Chaska. Can I live? |
