I wish that techno hadn't become so rigid and fixed (at least it's not as
grid like as Trance is). Early "techno" didn't seem that way basically
because the technology either wasn't there or wasn't affordable.  I think
that's why I get so bored with Hawtin and other minimal stuff.  There's a
local radio station that plays it ever Saturday evening.  You could tune in
for a ffew minutes in the beginning, middle, and end and you wouldn't
notice much progression.  The beat will be the same - oh! but the mix will
be soooo tight that you might not notice when the crossfader has gone from
left to right and back again. I can't stand listening to the show. Is that
what djing is now?
