RE: [313] can't get no decent techno .... but i try
Firstly, I must say that I'm envious of your situation because I simply can't keep up (financially) with the amount of good releases lately. Some label recommendations? How about Salo, BPitch Control, Raum Musik, Shitkatapult, Sender, Italic, 3b, Force Inc, Klang, Perlon, Playhouse, Plug Research, Background, Cytrax, Context, Tektite, Grow! ...etc.etc. and that's just the dance-floor oriented material, which represents maybe a quarter of what I listen to every week (there's also ambient stuff, house, jazzy breaks and others which could be called IDM but shouldn't). Trust me, there's plenty of quality, deep music out there, just think outside the square you live in.

What about this new electro wave ? Adult, Dopplereffekt etc ? without falling in the by the way, who's behind Drexciya? FAQ-filler, there are tons of brilliant records being released in this vein these days ? Gwendal 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.
Re:[313] can't get no decent techno .... but i try
yeah sure, just because I don't like banging, looped techno I'm narrow-minded and I have an elitist attitude... and I hate to break the news, but some of us do just like the music for being music without thinking of getting chicks and FYI, my record boxes are crammed with records that sold over a million copies and I have not burned them because that turned them too commercial on the whole it's total lack of respect for opinions and mindless flaming that brings down the quality of this list filled with people who do love music just for the sake of it RD PS Please don't reply unless you can leave the flaming I think there are as many quality techno records coming out as there were in those days, yeah, when everyone and their mother only uses equipment that's 10 years old or older, the new sound thing runs thin. So much for being the only innovative sound eh? it's just the number of crappy looped banging stuff that has multiplied enormously, umm, its always been crappy looped banging stuff. That's what makes it techno. and is sadly being bought by loads of young dj's who just want to get the girls and get paid like a superstar. isn't getting laid and paid the whole reason for doing ANYTHING? Guys do certain things because it attracts certain chicks. Deep house has always been a little less popular and has IMO maintained more integrity ahh yes, the whole, if its sold more than a thousand copies the artist MUST have sold out and have no integrity, bit. Haven't heard THAT before. I think people take music too seriously for the wrong reasons. YES, its a powerful medium. YES, its an artform. But dude, RELAX. its just music. Its not going to cure cancer. Just because an artist writes a song that other people like besides him does NOT make it evil, nor does it make him a sellout, or commercialized. It means he wrote a track that other people like. Yeah, there's a commercial aspect to music, and there ARE people who sellout, but i think it happens less than y'all think. I mean, was andy warhol an evil commercial sellout cause he sold his paintings? I just think its time that this whole elitist attitude gives it up. Its Tired, and i think needs to be saved for acts like britney spears. so Sit back, RELAX, enjoy the hard beats. (although the French disco house sound is a serious attempt at destroying that integrity). yeah, those evil French Disco House Dj's are just trying to capitalize on that which is pure and unmoved right? Cause they're makin those Ten Dollah bills y'all! Oh well, just wanted to toss my 2 cents in. you're more than welcomed to your opinion, and if you want to keep yourself as closeminded as possible, that's great. don't let me stop you from reaching that level of Snobbery (seriously). My opinion: Deep house makes me want to go to bed.

Re:[313] can't get no decent techno .... but i try
That's what's great about DJing. Although all DJs have the same access to the same records - each DJ buys records and sounds that please them and in turn they use those records in a DJ set to keep everyone dancing and having a great time. There are great records available new and old. What you do with them as a DJ is what makes the difference. djr From: stuffed bird [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] CC: 313@hyperreal.org Subject: Re:[313] can't get no decent techno but i try Date: 29 Mar 2001 14:54:55 - I agree, techno lost me to deep house around the same time, but I still buy a lot of techno records.
