I agree, techno lost me to deep house around the same time, but I still buy a lot of techno records. I think there are as many quality techno records coming out as there were in those days, it's just the number of crappy looped banging stuff that has multiplied enormously, and is sadly being bought by loads of young dj's who just want to get the girls and get paid like a superstar. Deep house has always been a little less popular and has IMO maintained more integrity (although the French disco house sound is a serious attempt at destroying that integrity). The techno that usually makes me wanna hit the decks and the floor nowadays:
most John Tejada releases, I love the one on M'n'G, but there are also those on Palette a.o., the last Beroshima was storming as well, very deep stuff, Hakan Lidbo also releases some deep stuff, although the purists won't regard this as techno Gigolo has also releases some slamming tracks these last couple of years hope this helps, RD >from my own point of view, i just seem to be buying old(er) techno records, >circa '90 to '97. there seems to be so many classic tunes from this period >(most of which i failed to buy when they first came out - poor student >days), but nowadays the releases that must be bought, for me, are few and >far between. all my favourite tunes were made in the mid to early '90s. > >few producers, it seems, are making exciting deep dance-floor techno now. >the last brilliant record that i bought was stefan robbers release on ifach, >but its sound harks back to days of eevolute. > >kanzleramt seem to be making quality music these days, as are technasia, but >can any of you extremely knowledgable people recommend any other labels that >i might be missing out on (besides your established big names like tresor, >planet e, kompakt)? i love the stuff on raygun (especially the fabrice lig >and frame six releases), if that's a clue to my techno tastes (not a massive >fan of the hard minimal side). > >hope people can point me in the right direction. > >cheers, aidan > >_________________________________________________________________________ >Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com. > > >--------------------------------------------------------------------- >To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Signup for FREE email and member home pages at http://www.turkey.com
