the tribal/african/latin things have been done, done, done, and sometimes very well. ditto dub.
but there's a loooot of music out there, and some of it probably could contribute to our favorite form of music.
what kinds of non-electronic music do you think could positively influence techno if people listened to them or sampled them and why?
Man, i'm almost afraid to say it, but the jamband, yes the JAMBAND, circuit has some really interesting stuff out there. I feel some things could be learned from them. Bands like Galactic IMO are tight.Quote:

will ever get old. New approaches is what it needs. Not regurgitations of what has been done before.
eskimo music.

Its not techno but if you want to hear variety of styles of music all brought together under the electronic banner then check this mans cut n' paste series of mixes. Truly original take on putting music togetherQuote:

There`s plenty of shit hot percussion out there that isn`t the same old african cack.
Japanese takio drumming for instance - it`s got size and depth and power, and funk.
But I think the main point may be rely less on sampling, and spend more time truly creating.
sampling, being inspired by, whatever. i'm not so concerned with how the music gets made as that it does in the end. techno is so institutionalized now...so inbred. "ooh, where's me tribal loops cd, i've got to make a bangin' tribal hard techno track!" there's so much music out there, and a lot is relevant to techno.
i think i'm still wasted from last night...uhhhh....here comes the headache...
no, sir, i believe that it is in fact your mother who is the professional lady to whom you are referring...ha-HA!Quote:

actually now i think about it, any type of 'mental' drumming would work well with techno i'm sure. that's perhaps why fast congas work well cause they're so silly (in a techno way of course hehehe). is there any other world music that's just totally crazy in the drum department? hmmm.. perhaps it's time to don my sensible hair cut and take a trip down to the local library... ;) :lol:
there are some really interesting middle eastern percussionists...
