RIP ACID TECNO

this topic is burnt out......

[christian wagner]

It aint - i disagree totally. the new stuff aint bad at all, the labels need to sign more unknown names or change there production techniques.

[phantomdj]

they should try luring 'industrial hardcore' producers into the genre... that way, you will lose the stereotypical 'loops' and then have a creative music track that could be played on its own at home and be a journey from beginning to end of different soundscapes rather than a sad old loop with a couple of stars wars laser sounds

[pat_mcgerkin]

Yeah, I was about to start a thread saying that acid techno is dead. After all, we hadn't had one for two whole weeks.

[Si the Sigh]

It's not dead, it just smells funny...

[APC]

It smells of hammers.

...and has more genes in common with a crab than a human.

the thing is acid techno needs more of a trancey element like the early tunes and a more of a spacey weird sound

...exactly the thing that gave it it's identity above other "hard dance" genres.

Acid Techno ain't dead as long as existing in our minds & you can find the people who still lovin it.

acid techno was trancey, but would it work now? music is moving forward, well trying too....

if you like the 'old' sound so much and want it back....i beleive henrys studio is availble for hire...???

just because a bunch of us here dont like the odd release doesnt mean jack shit..

people are still 'avin it to acid all over the place... so somebody somewhere must be doing something right!!

im not moaning about any of the releases, every release these days is fantastic, however there seems to be getting less and less of it


yes you are right dude. our passion for it will never diminish and those folk who like a good party - know what time it is.

however i terms of techno in general acid included, i despair.

i mean the other day on raidon one there was a four hour drum n bass special. every aspect of dance seems to be catered for on commercial radio except techno.
it's like techno is being dleiberately been kept away from mainstream audiences or something. im sick of it.

i wouldt call my self a acid dj anymore, do still play a wedge of london techno / acid though. im more open to techno as a entire genre nowerdays, time and a place for it all. (apart from the latest suf!)

**** it going to the masses:cheese:
same here,it seems that when an underground music genre goes into mainstream music charts,it soon gets killed off. Cos when you get 12 year olds throwing shapes in their bedrooms,it looses its mojo. I'm not saying that kids shouldn't like acid,naah f*ck it,yes I am :grr:

[fils_here]

i aint bought any acid/london techno for a while now, loving the european funky tribal edged techno sound at the moment, however i downloaded a recent paul cortex set which i thought was rather good!!
