Techno's Shit

[dubfama]

i like techno more minimal than hard... though hard is quality in a free party fuckin pumping hard techno on a big aggresive system . i like minimal as well and lots of forward thinking dubstep like stuff on applepips and 5024 is well closely related to minimal techno and artists collab and do remixes which i think is sick. i like the way its mixed its really progressive with big long blends niiiiiiice its just throbbing



music aside..the minimal scene does strike me as a bit elite though which is why ive never got heavily into it.. not a problem you have in the dubstep scene.. clearly the friendliest and generally safest electronic music scene

true dat

heres the thing...

EVERYTHING is techno. Dance music moves in circles. We are moving back to techno. Everything. You will see.

I think a lot of people on here just think of techno as being acid techno, its not.

Dubstep has come from techno as much as it has come from garage.

It's all Disco

this. its good to see someone else who's in the know

Cheers Bluke. People need to show more respect to Disco.

Ah, fellas, did anybody ever let you know that disco is dead...?
Died in the 70s actually and its mouldering corpse, long fleshless, doesn't even stink no more....but....occasionally, some naive necrophiliac digs it up for inspection and makes some cheesy house.
In my mythology: old techno had it's moment when it showed up the limitations of trance and promised something else...trip hop. More recently tech-house has begat minimal, the lover of ds. I await their spawn.

Nah loads of people are still making Disco. It's not exactly popular but some good tunes are being made. Just listen to any Gilles Peterson show and you'll hear loads of Disco.

Red Rack'em certainly knows how to mess with sound
and yeah it's discoey stuff that girls like
maybe not cheesy but, once you extract the bass curd,
it's pretty fey whey.

But point taken, disco still gets writ.

What did this have to do with techno being shit, again?
You reckon "Stand on the word" is techno?

musically maybe, but I suggest you watch 24 hour party people. Punk begot techno and the attitude and culture of the punk movement has evolved into todays dance music youth culture.

Disco was something else entirely...

That said... no.

Don't generalize please. Not everything is techno.

but everything in electronic music is either derivative of, or owes a nod to techno for its existence.

so everything comes from techno, but not everything IS techno.

Techno comes from House though init

one could argue that, i suppose. and house comes from disco. so then, someone's point above could be rather on point.

No sorry that's just something the NME made up to make indie kids feel superior.
