i've recently started having a lot of ideas for techno after listening to some old techno-y dubstep (mainly all the detroit-chordish stuff that was released on hotflush) and have also been toying around with the idea of translating the sonic aesthetic to 170bpm halftime, yesterday i even tried to do a proper techno tune but my problem is those damn kicks.

basically all i want is a kick that doesn't annoy the hell out of me after 5 minutes of listening/working on a tune. i've spent about 3 hours last night trying to make a good sounding techno kick and i've got some pretty nice results using samples and a few fx but every time after a couple of minutes i got so annoyed by it that i wanted to lowpass everything above 100Hz

regarding style... i don't know what this is but this is what made me like techno:

Not calling it techno, but yeah.

[paradigm_x]

Yeah, pretty much all im doing ATM. Got my x0xb0x (tb303 clone) and a TR909 on the way. Originally started off years ago doiong techno and went off to DnB then dubstep. Not made any dubstep for a while (looks around furtively for the dubstep police).

Got another x0xb0x on the way, and trying to get a live techno/acid PA together with a mate with an RS7000 and a Juno106. Nice live setup. Sick of staring at computers.

An acid tune (oldschool acid house) i wrote for the x0xb0x competition (i won another x0xb0x ) is below.

Also doing some more techno techno (mills/surgeon/etc)

me - i try to break ''free'' with techno.... producing 24/7 bassheavy music around 140bpm makes my brain fluffy after a while. so i got into producing techno. either it's the minimal side of things, influenced by berlin, or it's house... mroe of a deep house flavor - really feeling the oldschool deep house vibes...

i tried myself in dubtechno - would love to produce that - but it needs time. not easy at all!

All the other producers I know make minimal techno. Not too into it myself, some of it's ok but a lot of it feels a bit lazy. Mate did a remix of a Louis Armstrong track that was SICK though.

[skimpi]

i dont really get what techno is, is it rather diverse as is dubstep? cos like i like some things named as techno, like miniluv by martyn, i really like some shed stuff, was watchin egyptrixx live last night and people were sayin that was techno, and i liked that, i like scuba, but like he has the shuffled beats too, aint really listened to his SCB stuff though. some stuff labelled techno though i dont like, i just find it kind of boring, monotonous and like too minimal.

i acid again. My first love...

After seeing Phuture 303 at BLOC, they are the single reason why I started writing music to play live. They changed my life

I grew up on Techno... Neil Landstrumm, Tobias Schmidt, Christian Vogel, DJ Rush, Paul Langley, Mark Hawkins.... the list goes on

[dubmatters]

Really liking some of the acid techno stuff again.

sounds nice! if you could give me some pointers bout my kick problem and general structure (i suppose it's a lot less restrictive than UK bass music but there's gotta be some system behind it) i could imagine doing some shit and if you like it we could collab

currently having some ideas about war drums + tape delay, swelling drones n soundscapes, very little melody just barely holding the pieces together... i've already made a nice loop just the kick giving me headaches

[nowaysj]

You know you can evolve your kick over the length of your track?

Also Bassizm is a pretty quick way to dial in a kick. Nothing that any 2 enveloped synth can do, but it really does make it easy.

Also, my virus b really surprised me the other day, it spit out some serious 303 acid. Really pickley sound.

[topmo3]

not sure if it's techno cause i'm not really an expert on it but i've done quite a few 130 bpm tunes that i like to call techno. midland and some of joy orbs' stuff is so inspiring. can't miss this opportunity for shameless self promotion http://soundcloud.com/skuretracks

if i keep evolving it every 5 minutes while producing i'll never finish any track.

[Dystinkt]

Never caught my eye tbh, more of a jackin house kind of guy muyself.

I was referring to something else. Evolve it within the track.

Me!

[Recessive Trait]

been making some old school acid tech of late when bored with breakbeats (??? - not very often).

since it's all done with massive (someday i'd love to get a 303 and a virus) i tend to call it massid.
