Smells a bit off!

[OriginalTechnobastard]

I've noticed that some people in this board have been supporting styles of techno that they make or in some way affiliated with. Let me tell you something champ, you're not fooling anyone :nono:

[schlongfingers]

Ah do stop it, it's not a football league. It's music not a competition.

[OriginalTechnobastard]

Nah, its not on! Thats not how music should work. Honest opinions are of value, not self-gain.

[schlongfingers]

But at the end of the day, people aren't gonna stop the annoying habit of self promotion no matter what. Forget about the concept of competition, and just listen to the music. It's not like anyone actually buys music they don't like because spazmo46 on blowyourowntrumpet.com says it's an 'essential purchase'

[OriginalTechnobastard]

Well, take it as reminder to those who have!

You sound like you are affiliated with Kobayashi/Citizen etc half the time. :doh:

[robin m]

Ah do stop it, it's not a football league. It's music not a competition.

What a great idea - start up some league tables! Get a panel of independent pundits to give out points to people when they release something that 'moves the genre forward' and deduct points when they play a duff set somewhere or put out a Beatles schranz remix or something. You could have goal difference worked out based on the amount of positive and negative bollocks chatted about them on the internet, and the champions each year would win an MTV video, a front-page writeup in mixmag and the right to charge 5 grand per set.

How about that then! :doh:

[dirty_bass]

Not sure what your getting at here, but generally, blatant self promotion will get moved to the promotions section.
So if you have anything to point out to me, that I need to move, then please let me know.

[OriginalTechnobastard]

Nah!! You truly don't know me. For years now, I've been supporting what I think is the best. The music I support is something that I have a real care for, and feel genuinely moved by. If it let 3 or 4 people discover what I have, then guilty :lol:! I'm sure there is a lot of people here who do the same, but there is a quite few who are doing things for their own advantage.

[dirty_bass]

Well, there really is no avoiding that, you have to stand by what you believe in. But I haven`t spotted any spamming or veiled promotion in here.

Music league tables?
Wow... that would be almost as revolutionary as...
erm....
The charts.

No m8! Its not a particular post for promotion or a spam more like a whole existance try to push for one's interest. They know who they are. Just stop and be honest :dontevengothere:

So, you're saying people shouldn't promote themselves?

[dirty_bass]

yeah, I`m really not sure of the messgage of this thread.
Promotion goes in the promotion section, other than that, I have no idea.

[OriginalTechnobastard]

Loop people to loop and a sub genre of techno artist to a sub genre of techno. Not saying all the loop or all the sub genre people do this but some do it shamelessly. Nothing wrong with little bit more honesty.

Anyway do you have anything to add to this?

[OriginalTechnobastard]

Sorry I forgot to mention. I don't care (dets and your opinion)


Back to the subject stop being blatanly support things selfishly when its very biased and obvious of what you do musically. I don't know how some of you got the cheeck thats all.

[SlavikSvensk]

Anyway do you have anything to add to this?

haha...yeah sure, if you care to listen and promise to stay civil...

i think you are right about people blatantly self-promoting .

on the other hand, there are people (you for one, me for another) who write about specific music, artists, or styles because that's what they are into. some people are more specific about it than others. if someone talks about how they love, for example, swedish-style techno, and they happen to make it (because they love it), i don't think that necessarily means they are promoting themselves. but it easily could. i'm really not sure where mark and steve should draw that line, though i know it would bother me if someone came on the board and constantly posted about how great he/she was or how everyone should buy his/her record.

as for why you posted this thread...do you have any specific examples to share?

[fresh_an_funky_design]

nothing wrong with self promotion, if we didn't do it we wouldn't get anywhere in life.

[Stella Boy]

Aye, there's nowt wrong with self promotion but as stated, in the correct forum. Blatant hijacking of threads pushing your own sound or club night :dontevengothere:

[viagratek]

mind if i post a droid flyer in here? :lol:

[Stella Boy]

haha :lol:

[eyes without a face]

so ur saying those who are trying to make it as artists shouldnt promote themselves when they have a chance? do u think ur beloved Hacker, Vitalic etc etc never posted about themselves somewhere or promoted themselves in some way? if anyone is going on about something too much dude its you with all the French talk....

unless ur going to name who u thinks being a bit over zealous with the self promotion then stop banging on about it

seriously, unless u name the person then the thread is totally pointless

[eyes without a face]

and of course ur going to promote what u do musically or anything ur associated with, thats the whole friggin point of it!!! :shock: :lol: ;)

[Mindful]

pushing your sound on other peeps is part of what its about.

[g]

Back to the subject stop being blatanly support things selfishly when its very biased and obvious of what you do musically.
so don't support things that match your tastes & preferences.
now that you mention it, that does piss me off! the nerve of some people.

[basslinejunkie]

sorry but this is garbage.if you dont promote yourself, who else will?!?

unless im missing the point.

[SlavikSvensk]

Sorry I forgot to mention. I don't care (dets and your opinion)

so i guess you think everyone should just talk about kobayashi records?

take a hard look at yourself in the mirror before you try to call other people out.

[The Divide]

Erm forgive me for missing your point but how the **** can any artist band or act not support a style of techno that they make? If they didn’t have an interest or aren’t affiliated in some way with the style they produce then they should quit producing full stop imo

This seems like its more aimed at an individual, well you keep implying so. That’s why this is a waste of time, if you have a problem with someone why not drop the drama and pm them

[OriginalTechnobastard]

and of course ur going to promote what u do musically or anything ur associated with, thats the whole friggin point of it!!! :shock: :lol: ;)

got no probs with u gray or your sig(honest ;) ), because you come across as someone with a genuine about music.

Men if I did that you know how long this thread be? Its just the remainder to those who do and there is been a few here in the thread. Please read my topic carefully. I just want more honest opinion.

[Komplex]

name names. then take it to pm personally.

[massplanck]

Yeah PM people. I still dont know what you are talking about... you crackhead. :lol:

[OriginalTechnobastard]

I've think doing it publicly will drive the message home clearer.

[massplanck]

I've think doing it publicly will drive the message home clearer.

But we dont know who you are talking about?

You talk about Vitalic/The Hacker/Denza/Fixmer/Citizen/Dancefloorkillers & Kobayashi releases quite a bit.

For all we know you could be Al Ferox or an official from ze Ministry of French Techno. :crackup:

[OriginalTechnobastard]

You are funny for once. Where did you buy your joke?

PLEASE STAY WITHIN THE CONTEXT! ;)

[massplanck]

In a joke shop. http://www.the-joke-shop.com/

I'm serious. No-one has a fecking clue what/who you are talking about.

What part of 'I'm serious. no-one has a fecking clue what/who you are talking about.' do you not understand?

In that case, name names and stop dodging the question...

I've already named names, if you look closely.

Nice of you to divert the topic again plank!

[FILTERZ]

QUE :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?:
:scratch:

[conflict]

been drinking again have we?

[OriginalTechnobastard]

No, but if I do it won't be with u ;)!


Back to the topic. It just seems to me some people support particular style because thats all they can do musically. They can't produce instrument based techno so they only support the style they produce. When u present an opinion it should be about what you truly feel about music not what you are doing. Anyhow schlong is right. Its not like anybody is going to buy their record. Just note it as a remainder, if its not u then you shouldn't care champ.

[RDR]

So that bloke down the pub told me.... and he cant be wrong.
Oh, I've met him. Don't trust a word he says.

[eyes without a face]

if you say you've already named names well are u reffering to me? if so, then why? very odd... my signature simply informs people about the next couple of eps i have coming up, and others have this in their signatures, so errr, what is the problem? is that not what the signature section is for, extra bits of info or text?

as for loopy, are u still going on about that? of course i do loopy stuff, i do dark stuff, i do house, i do electro, i do detroit-influenced stuff.... whats your point?

very strange thread, if u have something to say stop being a pussy and say it

No one is being puss you're just getting loopy again. Did you read the past post loop? :lol:

I've said few people who've alread posted ie people other then last name grey. I mean why do I have to tell you exactly what I mean. Thats boring. Just follow some people's attitude here, then you'll find the loop.

Loop :lol:

[massplanck]

Very strange thread indeed.

How asking somebody 'what are they talking about?' can get interpreted as an attempt to divert the thread is beyond me.

[SlavikSvensk]

Anyway do you have anything to add to this?

haha...yeah sure, if you care to listen and promise to stay civil...

? Well wish your president did :roll:

i wasn't aware he came onto this forum to discuss techno. if he did i'm sure his threads would be as nasty and confused as this one.

[SlavikSvensk]

bottom line is, what is your point, beyond being insulting?

if you are seriously concerned about some people unduly promoting themselves here, then this is a serious topic, but one you should take up with the moderator in private.

the way i see it, you just want to be a jerk but don't have the balls to say who you are talking about. and it sounds to me like everyone is sick of that.

so here's your chance OTB: PUT UP OR SHUT UP.

[eyes without a face]

man really u need to get some other hobbies, maybe try making some music yourself?
