yeah i think it was good.. a lot of producers tried new things and there were a lot of good records released.
for me personally it was great to get the label going.
hopefully 2008 will be even better..
speaking of which, isnt it time for the 2007 awards? :xcool:

i thought 2007 was a big year of change for techno, it seems to do this every 5 or so years imo, but this year it was very noticable. can't wait to see what 2008 has in store and i really hope that the industry sorts itself out and enable up and coming producers to get their music out there.

hahaha... ok i get ya im a lower class sorry i bow to thee!
i think this year was deffo better than last for uk techno at least... i feel with techno nights really holding there own and new strong events starting show that there is still a big techno crowd and more than that the kids are getting on to it thro im guessing the whole minnimal boom ... also i feel minimal sectors of minimal have started to get recognised and less alienated by the harder techno scene thus keeping us all under the same banner of techno that said its a massive year with techno djs dominating the big festivals i.e. carl cox , dave clarke , sven vaith and more... yes there is a comercial element of annoying techno all over 2007 but at least its techno gettin much needed pr as one of the main reasons "Harder" techno production has slipped in last 4 years is that the big players have moved away due to lack of bookings and sales and i feel its the club sceane boom in techno will knock on to luring bigger artists back to putting out the stuff i know i still am waiting to hear.
I think main thing im getting at 2007 was better than 2006 and i think 2005 so yes was a good year hahahaaha

It was another year as far as I can remember.
Nothing at all remarkable happened. Lots of samey samey records that no one remembers came out, and a few good ones came out oo.
A number of techno club nights have had encouraging attendance, and some new ones have survived the year, which is very positive.
To balance that out karmicly, some more record shops have hit the shit pan, along with more distribution.
Another year, and things seemed to have leveled out. Hopefully then, things will be on the up for next year.

My thoughts exactly. ^
I visited less parties than usual, but the one i did were quality. managed to hear lenny dee twice, so i can't say it was a bad year from that perspective at all :)
so much new music, a lot of of it was excellent, some was average and some was shit...same as every year. but yeah, not all of the excellent stuff was techno hmmm...

im a fan of mark brooms latest direction as well as other artists following in similar foot steps.
every year their is a bunch fo bland ass bullshit records popping up in the techno bins (as well as any other genres) so thats not news to anybody and it wasnt any worse this year.
in Los Angeles 2007 was a good year for techno. more promoters more djs more artists and a few more records bringing attention to our city. more noise in 2008. audioinjection and drumcell straight pimpin.

been offline for a few weeks just saw this thread, was a little confused by it
it's never, ever a good year FOR Techno. Every year there are without doubt, always far more bad records released than good. Which is the basic crux of it all, without the music, there's no reason for clubs, without the clubs there's no need for punters etc etc. Also, the ratio of bad to good has imo definately risen, so if anything it's been an awful year in that sense.
It has however been a good year for certain producers/djs/artists, which is what i think is important. There have been some producers truely putting out brilliantly well done records, records with meaning as well as dancefloor qualities, and in general just doing top quality electronic music. For me personally about 75% of that music is predominently for home listening too.
Techno as a scene is far, far too fragmented to get a balanced and honest reflection of the year as a whole, and people base the scene's progression, or re-gression if you will, on their own personal experience which is pretty much null and void.
As individuals, some people have had a great year, some have had a good year, some have had an ok year, some have had a shit year. Techno as a whole had the same year as it did last year. And the year before that. And the year before that..... *repeat ad infinum*

Isn't it all about personal experience anyway?
its all opinion if techno has been "good or bad" this year. One man's meat is another man's poison!
Personally tho, as long as I am finding new OR old choons every year and there are good choons still floating amongst the massive amount of shit (hope-wise) that year will always be good for me.

eh? of course im happy, who wouldnt want Hawtin playing their stuff? Im still chuffed about that and i still watch the video of him playing it, which to some is cool, to some is alarmingly sad. I'd agree on both
but my original thread was not an advocate for or against what people deem as a "good year for techno"
i dont view the scene as a whole like alot of people do, so naturally im going to have very different opinions on the scene. Like i say, too fragmented, too many people get into techno and the scene from completely contrasting circumstances and experiences in the first place as it is.
Apologies for not just naming a pointless, ego boosting "best of" list or something similiar

theres always new and excitin shit comin out plus the discovery of old shit aswell.....4 me a wish a had the money to just buy every techno record n the world but sadly thts neva gna happen!! a cant get enough of it or get every bit of techno tht a want.....
for me a luv discoverin the old shit!!! luv tht like craaazy .... but at the same time a luv the new stuff tht comes out....so good!!!
face it techno is the bomb...its always gna b the bomb and it will b the bomb until u get board of it...
a just wish sumtimes the UK would b like the europeans when it comes to puttin techno on!! big events....big line ups....etc.....the uk still does it good tho!!
for example ave just discovered the techno experiment dwn in manchester n a group of us r goin dwn in march!! gna b well good.....its things like this tht makes techno good eh!!

Brandon's a good man....
As for me I guess 2007 has been alrite....
Although I think 2008 will only be much much better in many ways.
As a whole I think there's been a small increase in listeners (very small);
But I think that just leaves the doors wide open for some bright idea to push it back into the public a bit.
No matter what I'm really looking forward to the future.....
And as long as the technology exists....the musik will as well. I know that much.

Good year for selfish reasons.
Got my first releases arranged and had hawtin play my track. Put on some great parties and made a lot of new techno friends.
Saw black dog and derrick may for the first time, and was very, very impressed. Saw the glory of the exit festival, the muddiness of glade and the enjoyable predictability of sonar.
Heard a few good tracks, bought very little new stuff though. Not that bothered to be honest, never been particularly desperate to keep "upfront" when there's so much quality stuff I've missed over the years. Anything thats new and really good will make itself known eventually. The cream always rises to the top, it doesn't have to be there straight away. And with a host of new labels and producers out there is going to take even longer for the less promoted and marketed tracks to get out there.
This is the first year I didn't buy a single piece of vinyl, and can't say I miss it.
There's talented types out there doing their thing, and techno's being pushed on lots of different boundaries. Realy looking forward to see what 2008 brings.

For myself as producer it was really a cool year!
Putting out 2 releases on Underground Liberation,
and remixing Juan Atkins & Orlando Voorn's Game One on Night Vision was such a thrilling experience.
For me as DJ I didn't played that much. But the parties I played were all great experiences. The party together with Jeff Mills in april was amazing.
Let's see what 2008 will bring us.

techno didnt seem to be so much of a dirty word this year, ive seen a much more positive reaction towards the music through good attendance at nights...not just techno events either, have noticed from going to breaks nights that 4/4 dirty house/ techno is coming through in there sets and the punters go mad for it.
but on the other hand not a great year on the release front. got some good tunes but pretty much the same as 2006 maybe a little worse imo

good ol' skoog seems to be at the top of his game again with his agaric stuff.
i cant get enough of henrys mutate to survive ep....
lovin the ballsy minimal Len Faki, zahn, rohr, eidolon, paco etc are puttin out.
Chris Liebing and his lable CLR, bau, ortin cam, dsp, ant, wetworks are keepin it real with the harder stuff.
just as much bad music as ever of course, but im finding some good new sounds with these guys and alot of others

That track is called 'Callas' on Theory 12.2 from 2002.
On the topic of whether it's been a good year or a bad year - it's been pretty good for me. The Locked parties have been going well and we've seen a lot of new faces at the club over the year. I've managed to find plenty of good records and I'm still buying vinyl, as well as digital releases.
There have also been a other nights up north that have been putting on good techno nights, so I'm cautiously optimistic for 2008.

Me and Brad are cooking up some nastyness for Zeitgeist, especially with his departure for Europa coming soon, we have some sassy mcfilthy burgers to throw at people soon. 2007 was a great year for techno in the sense that people kept it true to what they liked, with the market so concentrated on a few thousand people now it's like you have no choice but to keep it true to what you write. Curveballs are cool for some who have the room to move, but being yourself and true to your trademarks and what you do well will be what's poppin' for 2008 I believe.

I really dont hear that in most elektro house. But in no way was I laggin on their studios skills. I give respect where it's due...but in creativity...that my friend we might disagree on.

Then we'll have to agree to disagree on the creativity. You really have to listen to more. Besides, i agree on the benny bennasi type crap. A search on soulseek or what not reveals a silly amount of people have the bennasi crap on their HDs...
My friend is a house DJ in slovenia and has a stupid stupid amount of tracks and CDs of the genre we are talking about, its the HOUSE description thats the thing to concentrate on.

Happy new year to you and yours also mi amigo.
A good year I think. More diversity amongst all varieties of techno and related genres= more opportunities to include different sounds, grooves, and varied energy levels in to a cohesive dj set.
Lots of selection to choose from in the vinyl market, although admittedly lots of crap to sort through.
Some well established artists trying different sounds, but still keeping it real with their own flavor (for example beyer, dubfire, oxia, chris liebing, lekebusch).
And for me a transplant to yet another un-heralded outpost of the edm world. Moved from Portland Oregon USA to Vina Del Mar Chile where I have re-discovered the true value of music as a universal language. Despite language barriers, economics (a vinyl record here costs 18 US dollars), and a non edm savy public dj’s are still working hard to develop their own grooves and keep the music alive and the public dancing.
Not from me im afriad.

put some Switch or Jesse Rose or The Crookers in the player! fidget house will be on fire in 2008. too!
last year? more like 4 years ago. shit is def played.
switch and them were already on fire in 2007. he got named artist of the year in xlr8r for all his remix work as switch and production work for the likes of M.I.A.
i think he is moving to los angeles so expect even more switchy remixes of pop artists....turning radio BS into weird playable club tracks. not a bad thing.
because of this i do see him becoming even more popular in 2008...as well as his collegues.
yeah, it was 2005 or 2006 when he did that Essential Mix lots of people were talking about. amount of remixes he's been putting out recently is mad. same as speaker junk, herve, already mentioned italian duo crookers... jesse rose remix of armand van helden's "playmate" was pronounced as one of the biggest club tracks of the year by beatportal etc.
i really started to enjoy that sound more and more in 2007. I went berserk when heard switch switch remix of aquilera and diddy on a party about a year ago, while most of the people around me just frown hehe
I just wish more djs is into it, instead of staying on the safe road with sound a la david guetta and fedde le grand....

Seems to me the minimal stranglehold has eased up somewhat and people are looking for more substance again in their dance music. I predicted to friends when Tresor came back as a club, techno itself would make a comeback and it looks like it's happening.

I think you have hit the nail on the head there Alan as some people I know & spoke to have said they were getting bored of minimal & wanting hear real Techno for change instead of the so called Minimal cannon fodder that is getting released these days. As I say Techno is a leader not a follower but it's a shame some Techno artists have jumped on to the minimal band waggon coz it's the next big thing. Techno is going to be fighting back as it's a Fighter!
