just got a new renato cohen track on that weird label called
sino??? is it something like that
anyway blue cover chinese drawing on it.
so ....
pontape/intec brilliance or monotony
any other comments on some of the brasilian techno that's appeared recently?
Haven't heard enough Brazilian techno to make a proper judgement. I think Cohen's production is at a very high standard, it's more on the funky side but he has a good groove going. "Pontape" I didn't really like but I could see its big tune potential when I heard I heard it first; it's not brilliant , it's probably just Carl Cox's favourite tune that Cohen has produced, and in fairness to Cox Intec is rarely a purveyor of brilliant techno anyway.Quote:

Pontape is very strong track but,i heard some other stuff by Renato and it was weak house.
How is his new track on that label Davy? is it any good?i can't wait to hear it.
it excellent actually andre
perhaps a little slow but wicked
i'm also really into the technasia remix he did but it may be a little to housey for some tastes
i have that record Henry, there is a track on it with a big swelling bassline, its wikid!
dont rate Pontape at all tho, its terrible
The thing that i like about Brazil is: you can ask any hot,hot,hot mint looking girl what is the difference, hard techno and acid techno? she will tell you the difference!!!
so Dj's in brazil doing pretty good job!!!!!!!!!!
I've got that tune on sino by renato, I reckon it's pretty good.
Whilst we're on the subject I reckon technasia's approach to their label i.e artwork is cool, quite different.. probably quite collectable if your into that kind of thing as well (err which I'm not really!)
Yeah, both sides of that sino are good.. same with the remix of hydra or whatever it was... and his remix on clr... and a brazillian record of his that just came out a few weeks ago is tasty too.. I really like his stuff, it can get a bit samey, and as you said mark can be a bit housey, but its really well produced and the floor goes nuts to it...
wow.. mark didn't even post in this thread so it wasn't him that said it was housey... uh oh.. It's lunchtime and I'm hallucinating again!! :shock:
Hahahah, sorry.. I was agreeing with you, henry... :oops:
Oh yeah.. it is Sino and thats Technasia's label... just for some useless trivia which everyone prolly already knows or doesn't give a shit aboot.. :roll:
:lol:
Hello henry, andrei and all...
i dont really like any cohen stuff anymore... i use to but now he is going to a direction that i dont like very much...
he has released some records in very byg labels so his name is getting very big amd he is spining all over... his name is in many major international festivals... its good to see a brazilian on that position but its said that many talent djs here dont have the same chance!!!
we have impressive djs here and guys like you(that have been to brazil) can suport me on that...
we have to tank you guys in a certain way... every time that a good professional(artist) come to brazil, we get to learn a lot from him and its very helpfull to ouer local scene!!!
i hope that we still receiving many international names here but i also hope to see more brazilian djs outside brazil!!!

well i can understand why the renato story has got some of the djs in brasil a bit rattled.
i know renato quite well and he's a lovely guy but i do remeber that he was totally going to give up at one point .
in fact ana and david (pet duo) asked me to talk to him at megavonts a couple of years ago to convince him to keep going
in fact anderson played pontape that day from a dub plate and i was all over renato to release it on hydraulix
i think he did the right thing though releasing it on intec.
he was a fantastic dj a few years ago but started playing house for a long time until pontape blew up when he immediately reverted to playing hard techno again.
i think he deserves the attention he's getting although it's a shame it didn't happen sooner maybe if it had all the brasilian djs would find it easier to get behind him.
i think alex's sp groove label is sounding good, it's selling quite well here in the banging tunes shop.
see you in november lukas!!!!!
Hey Davy!!!!!!!!!!
IT's a very interesting story, :shock: i'm just about to give up techno, maybe you will talk to me too? :roll:
Nothing personal against renato, I just perfer my musical stylings a bit harder and more mechanical.

Hello you all...I cant believe i see so many mates around...cheers :lol:
Nice forum here wahhh :o :o
What I think about Brasil's techno is:
Renato Cohen is doing some very well produced stuffs...he owns a very sound's personality.....very impressive and its getting his music outside Brazil...wich is good for us....will probable make people look a bit more for the artists downhere. The interesting thing about Renato is that once he told me that what he usually try to do is to make some music that will sound as brasilian personality, but without the samba and bla bla shit...thats why maybe the tracks sounds a bit similar...people will hear it and remember at the same time....thats sounds like brasil !!!! caralho !!! :lol:
But anyway, the producers are learning on how to make good music ...getting into the softwares, hardwares...I think its a natural thing after working so much with this kind of equipment, the music will get better and better .... if there is a feeling for it of course !
BIG RESPECT

cool to read that things are good in brazil im heading down there for some gigs for the first time next month looking forward to it now.
oh you definately have much to look forward to!
oh by the way here's a link
ana and david are my best buddites ib brasil and damn good techno djs
www.petduo.com
sino is technasia's label i think, based in hong kong. Pontape was good at first, but now everyone and anyone rinses it it is a weak track. U get slated for playing it rather than praised!
Another day at work for me:(:(Im used to doing a 10hour week and making music, being a student, now i work for the nhs doing data input and its 8:30am and im in a horrible area and people keep coming into the health centre asking for condoms :shock:
I think i just need to think about the money to buy equipment.
OW YEAH......THE PETS R REALLY COOL...Quote:
