and u know what's gonna happen a few years down the track, people will be lovin the tekkier sounds but the 126bpm will increase over time and 136bpm techno will take over followed by 145bpm stuff then revert back to 126bpm.....etc

at the moment warm up set are peak time sets over there will change in time :)
Ibiza's always been pish, its just minimal pish now instead of housey trancey pish lol
Saying that - the line between 126BPM minimal pish and housey pish isn't exactly thick is it!

what a great line it is to be ballancing on though.:cheese:
house without techno is wank
techno without house is shite.
winner IMO
To me its just Ibiza being Ibiza and doing what its always done - playing whatever's the 'in' thing - and at the mo thats the whole miminal techno / tech-house / electro house area thats the 'cool' thing.
To me, all the minimal explosion into the mainstream has done is weaken techno as a succession of DJ's, producers and nights move towards minimal and ditch the harder stuff - shite imo.
More dark, hard, industrial sounding pounders is what we need, being played in dirty underground clubs, not a techno scene that might as well be the f***in' house scene!
Tbf maybe I'm being a dinosaur and not recognising the fact that for techno to survive it has to be more commercially succesful and get the crowds back - and minimal has certainly achieved that - but whats the point in getting hte next wave of fly by night hip kids who'll latch onto something else next year listening to the sound if it alienates the existing techno fans to the point many can't be arsed to go out cos everywhere they look is the same minimal bollocks being played that they dont wanna listen too!!!!
Or is that just me???lol
Maybe I need to move abroad - or just find some decent nights prepared to pound out the hard techno and schranz and not compromise!

a good techno night will cater for everyone's taste I think. start off with funky/minimal/electro'y stuff then build it up and progress as night goes on. If you had it 145+ from start and people knew your night was gonna be like that it would put a lot off and visa vera if they knew it was gonna be minimal electro all night that would also put a lot of people off.
True enough, but on a personal level I really dont wanna spend all night listening to tunes I really cant be arsed with to get to the hour or two at the end I'm actually going to enjoy and pay to see over half the night of tunes that bore me senseless - and I know a hell of a lot of people who are the same - unfortunately not enough to rely on them all being out at the same time to make a night financially viable, which is where the problem comes in.
Thing is though, as its very very rare to find a night that does cater purely for hard techno in this country, and most hard techno fans dont wanna listen to hours of minimal build-up before they get to the hard stuff, the whole harder end of techno as a scene has all but died imo, except for the very occasional night here and there. Maybe thats going a bit far - but it certainly feels like hard techno in the UK is on its last legs at the moment, annoyingly just as minimal is increasing the techno following and making techno are much bigger, more popular scene. I say annoyingly purely cos I'm sick of seeing flyers etc advertising techno and then getting nothing like what I want to hear! Its got to the point where its a case of presume the worst lol
So what are we left with - a larger techno scene for sure with the rise of minimal/electro into the mainstream, but also a scene thats basically morphed in large parts into what the house scene was a few years back and doesn't cater for the harder end anymore really - and thats not a scene I feel I can proud to be part of anymore, which makes me sad :-(

yoooooo junkie good to see you again.i have been doing submissions, planet rhythm stuff etc (submissions 11, 13, 15 and 17 and planet 60 etc) but it is hardly what i have been concentrating on.
matt k and i have been working to launch a VERY INDEPENDENT label called OMERTA MUSIC.... the first two singles can be heard at www.myspace.com/omertamusicgroup i believe... we have been trying to get this record out for a while but omerta 001 and 002 havent come out yet because we are organizing our own network like UR or tresor.
this is going to be big.
i mean i was ready to f u c k off from techno about a year ago, doing glitch/experimental/hip hop/dub etc but matt pulled me back in and since then we have been under the "do it right or don't do it at all" filosofy.
what i mean is that omerta will not be just another triple lable or whatever, we have a sub label called HOODLUM which is SICK glitch/experimental etc. and
the main OMERTA imprint has dvds, vinyls, CDs and ringtones in the works!!!!
sme of our things will be available in walmart, best buy etc.
the idea is to get past this 1000 copy piddly niche market and blow some heads out

ok dudes lets get somthing sorted here , the minimal im hearing a lot of here is a sort of cross over with electro , im hearing it in tech trance also which is another set i play , electro sound has seemed to have found itsself in every style and to behonest guys some of the tracks im hearing are wikid, try the new marcel woods track get the kleanex tech trance producer but wot a wikid dance floor electro track its awsome dance floor material, then try a hard trance producer normaly but hey wot the hell is this a track called come with me by irish producer gleave dobins wow! then again your marco v i saw him in eden and he took my head off with a superb electro tech trance sort of set that was just awsome, then we slow down a bit into the minimal and there is a track flying about here at the moment which is a red hot chillie peppers bootleg to die for oh my god wot a tune . so my point here is like i said everything has gone minimal electro here, not just the techno , but the trancey stuff also its so strange but yet the tracks seem awsome , its like evry body has gone techno in there own way even the big boy trance producers and im have to say im really enjoying the interbreeding of styles thats going on its fantastic .
some of this tech trance is just bloody superb i love it and i enjoy playing it in my other set i do its dance flor friendly and puts a lot of smiles on peoples faces. this minimal electro sound has got itself into some fine work , brilliant i say some tracks ive heard this year have been absolutly fantastic.
of course with me techno will always come first but its nice with alturnitive sets you play like myself tech trance this sound taking over its wikid.
house without techno is wank
techno without house is shite.

I agree, Ibiza is all about following trends rather than creating them...
And as a minimal lover I agree the influx of Dj's & producers that have jumped on the bandwagon have killed it to the point that minimal is becoming a joke especially amongst people who don't like/understand it... and harder techno is no longer as popular as a result... the last point doesn't bother me too much tho as I am a firm believer that techno will always be here and the fashion crown will evetually turn their attention elsewhere. I just wish they would hurry up and get back into trance or summat!

your generalising a bit there, not all minimal is plip plop. sleeparchive, sandwell district, basic channel (well its dub) sahko etc. great stuff.
some house music is cheesey, but A LOT is very good. same as some techno is cheesey. Problem with house in Ireland (can't speak for the rest of the world) is that its generally "deep" (or so they'd have you think) and tarnished with female vocals.
Surgeon is playing Ibeefa this summer, does that make it cool now? Hear he's taking on Judge Jules as the new British Murder Boy.

the guy as moved on and away from the 4x4 bangin classics that he used to produce back in the mid 90's to a more experimental/abstract what ever you wanna call it not my cup of earl tea!!!! but hey each to there own thats the wonderful world of diffrence of opinoin!!!!

That's true, they should find some other idyll and fill it with vulgar British scum - get the place smeared in clap and thrush in no time.
I bet the locals of all small island/coastal communities in the med are positively salivating at the prospect of their gutters overflowing with spermicide - not to mention the arrival of the inevitable fish and chip 'restaurant', oh, and the streets of their town being turned into a bloody, English speaking warzone every night of the week.
I can only imagine how boring such places must be before the club 18-30 reps work their 'magic'. Wherever is designated as the 'NEW IBIZA' is really, really lucky. Honestly.

Generalisations are bad, m'kay.
Some minimal* stuff is awesome, lots of it is dross.

yeah, "minimal" has invaded most scenes.
it even melded with Psytrance here in Cali, with the Prog Psy DJs now playing piles of minimal.
i had a bit of a revelation when i found minimal, but quickly realized that my idea of "minimal' differs quite a bit from most people. i can't stand the "2 bleeps and a squeek" style stuff, but i LOVE shit like Extrawelt, Petter, Minilogue, Trentemoller, Elegant Universe, Fairmont, Boratto, Komytea, etc. and also German techno gods like Johannes Heil, Kowalski, Schumacher, etc.. add stuff like Apparat into the mix, and i'm not even sure what style we're talking about (but i will be playing it on the beach this weekend).
so "minimal compared to banging Psytrance" is what i like, while "minimal compared to Techno" just puts me in a coma. as ever, it's all about the music you find around the edges.
