Re: [313] uk tech-house/layo & bushwacka
- you get dull-tech-house nights, you get micro-house nights, you get body&soul nights, you get looped-bangers nights, you get detroit-techno nights... You don't often get plain old good nights out" Probably due to the size of the place. I mean how likely is it you'll end up at any night which doesn't spell out it's music policy in advance. And by that I don't mean "would you go to it?", but rather, "would you find out about it in a city this size?". It's pretty hard -usually takes some damned clever flyer design- to get across a particular ethic without spelling out the playlist (i.e. tech-house, body and soul -whatever) and hence sticking to a particular genre, and with the competition being so stiff in London it's hard for anything small and interesting to get past those first few nights. I suppose the exceptions to this are the few people who have the clout / credibility to draw a crowd without sticking to one particular style (probably Andy Weatherall - again, or Warp's nights). but there aren't many...

Re: [313] uk tech-house/layo & bushwacka
saw Umek on 4 decks at EasternBloc (a record shop) on saturday and while what he did was impressive (3 vinyls going at any one point) it just wasn't that interesting. i think he was getting at what hawtin aims at at the moment with layers etc. but it revolves around the same kind of track being played back to back with another of that type... gimme bone on 3 decks anyday! Here,here! That's exactly what was wrong with hearing Billy Nasty, Umek (& his 'recycled' mate who's name I can't remember) on NYE - at times it just seems flat and unispiring. I know a few Umek tracks as well so usually it helps if you know some of the tunes but it really was a quite forgettable set (well, night to honest - musically anyway.) Now with Bone you have a DJ who knows how to mix up the styles and keep things interesting! :o) - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [313] uk tech-house/layo & bushwacka
I think when "uk tech house" is most appropriate is when it's as you feared, though there are odd exceptions. Aubrey and his Portsmouth gang spring to mind, but that's where "uk tech house" seems less fitting. Unfortunately most London record shops are as bland too, right now. Exceptions are, IMO, Smallfish and Vinyl Junkies, neither of which exactly hit the mark, meaning you can spend a long time travelling when record shopping, and Detroit seems to fall between the two stools unfortunately. Layo & Bushwacka are excellent examples of how limp tech house can be. They do veer into some strange "breaks" territory, I think. One of the worst nights out of my life was at the End when Layo was DJing, when someone or other didn't turn up. I think he is in someway involved with managing the club, and I had never heard of either of them outside of their flyers until recently. Make of that what you will. Unfortunately, it does seem to be the main techno alternative to "looped bangers". I have a theory on London nightlife. It's sort of a concentrate of what you'd expect from reading UK press: hyper-fragmented - you get dull-tech-house nights, you get micro-house nights, you get body&soul nights, you get looped-bangers nights, you get detroit-techno nights... You don't often get plain old good nights out (in fact I've had maybe less than 10 in 5 years). It's partly to do with that over categorisation for which we are infamous here, partly to do with 2/3 hour sets being the norm and is then reinforced by the quite subtle exclusiveness that creeps into *all* "scenes" here. It's very hard to get away from: if you break the mold then someone'll just name it and tame it within months anyway. Though it's just dumb: I can understand a producer releasing records that all sound the same, but a DJ playing a set of them? > the last days the words 'uk tech house' showed up in some messages. > This should be popular in london, as an alternative to 'looped bangers' (or > something)... > > But could someone please describe this genre more specific.. > > Is it that boring style with really loud 909 open hihats in between the > beats? > > And whats up with detroit techno in london?
