I love the fact that there are people out in the world that are altering
Grooveboxes and other instuments marketed to DJs and dance music producers
Anybody know of some scientists out there? I'd like to see/hear some
"adjusted" equipment.

Very true statement Diana,
Techno "was" about taking an idea and expanding on it and never looking
back. Creating a new sound and letting the energy and excitment which
surrounded techno be expressed in the music. A lot of tracks were probably
produced on a Sunday after a good night of music and partying.
Techno has come to the point now that the Major equipment producers are
making gear which is geared towars a certain sound which the consumer might
be after, alas the groovebox.
I think that the generic sounds of techno have all been used to death now
and good tracks using these sound rely on different rhythms or baselines.
The most innovative tracks are using sampled sounds, this is how producers
come up with their "own" sound.
Now that techno has come out of the clubs and undergrouind and into the
street I think we should look to the street to provide the sounds.

pardon me for possibly sounding moronic or a non-gear
head...BUT why is it so many people strive to have the
equipment or know the equipment of "supah" DJs like
Mills, May etc? Why want to be like or sound like
them?
One reason why I fell in love with electronic music is
because it was filled with sounds I never had heard
before. If current producers want to sound like one
another doesn't that just produce stagnation in the
field? Isn't it better to find out how (insert name
here) made the name by toying around rather than them
just giving you the answer so your own flavor is
given? That's one reason why I fell backwards when I
heard Rotar for the first time-b/c it was diff't and
left field from any other track I heard at the time.
Rich, Gianelli, Mills, May they are all followed
because they did stuff in the past with out people
giving them answers. It was unique and fresh. If we
keep chasing equipment answers does that mean "unique
and fresh" will eventually evaporate?
Icons and pedestals are for pop music.
ok, flame me now. Oh.please.flame.me.
