RE: [313] techno/house divide (was Peacefrog Records special on B BC)
I read somewhere that Herbert considers his music to be techno... 'P' ... Which is interesting, 'cause he produces a lot, and I mean *a lot* of what many would call house. I mean Derrick Carter grabs for his Classic Recs., any house Herbert has available. Do you think Carter would be so enthusiastic if H called him up and said: I've got this GREAT techno track...? But then, even some Herbert stuff on Classic veers toward the 'techy' demarcation lines are blurred and I don't think that's altogether bad. k - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

the greatest dancer, on m_plant is definately house...disco house even, since the main loop is from a disco song...as far as i know... look..i brought robert hood and house back together! - Hi Good point. I tend to think of the music I'm into as techno (Detroit stuff, Trapez, Perlon, etc) but techno's kind of a dirty word around these parts (because it's been subsumed by the hard monotonous European variety of techno), so when I'm asked what I play I say deep electronic house (or sometimes minimal house, but then minimal's kind of a dirty word too). At the end of the day techno and house are two ends of a spectrum, and the distinction is sometimes difficult to make. Do you think techno as originally defined and produced by Juan Atkins would be considered techno if released today? I think it'd probably be called deep house. But I guess most of Rob Hood's stuff is very clearly techno, the Nighttime World albums excepted. And I haven't actually heard the Peacefrog album yet. Cheers Chris For people in Sydney: we're starting up a house night on Thursday August 29, and Inertia (Australian distributors) are giving us copies of Robert Hood's Point Blank album to give away on the night. I'll post more details later, but essentially it's a $6 dollar night at the Hunter Bar in central Sydney, featuring Declan Kelly from Melbourne's Honkytonks and Research Development and Simon Caldwell from Sydney's Mad Racket.

Hi I think the is it house or is it techno thing isn't really that important. There's lots of bad techno, and even more bad house, but good house and good techno are to me almost the same thing (I don't know what the word is for it, and I guess it doesn't matter). I do think, though, like politics in most Western democracies, that the middle ground has shifted to the right. Maybe the term techno needs to be reclaimed by the deeper producers -- and maybe I should say happily that the stuff I play is techno. I read somewhere that Herbert considers his music to be techno...

some people use techno as a blanket term, others to describe a specific form of electronic music -Joe - Original Message - From: senslo [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: FC3 Richards [EMAIL PROTECTED]; 313@hyperreal.org Sent: Saturday, August 03, 2002 10:22 PM Subject: RE: [313] techno/house divide (was Peacefrog Records special on B BC) Hi I think the is it house or is it techno thing isn't really that important.
