no worries sunil. i have no doubt you meant no harm with it..
its jus theres a certain forum that can get a bit narked at times ;)
well if you ask me i think you're crazy
and in a round about way by posting on this forum you are asking me
so i'm telling you.....
just stop whinging and get on with it man!
for goodness sake , techno isn't something you can just give up , like fags or beer or something!!!!!!
i mean i gave up playing drums for bands but that didn't stop me from listening to rock , ska or punk or making music
and i tell you what .....you'll regret selling those tunes ( and the dex).......and don't come running to me when you realise there's no going back!
sorry man :nono:
yeah i agree. how you can post something on a forum saying 'i'm giving up techno' is beyond me. i mean all the best of luck to you mate, but you obviously weren't into it in the first place to say this on a forum.
sorry man, but that's the way i feel.
hes simply moving on ffs. to say pete donaldson 'obviously wasnt into it in the first place' is a fukin joke. he basically was the techno scene in belfast for a long time. lost money on the majority of nights he done but still plugged away for ages bringing over big names knowing there was probably no chance he would even break even. techno in belfast is dead and petes prob just realised its time to move on instead of having it hold him back. and i cant see where he says he was gonna stop listening to it either.

no sorry , stopping promoting , or packing in djing in clubs i can understand , but selling everything off??? why exactly ???
i mean if i gave up djing , i'd still keep my dex , and my tunes.
'cos i love playing records at home on my own or with the missus , and theres no techno scene here in ashford but we don't care.
no i'm not saying the guy didn't put his back into it , i'm sure he did , but selling it all of , and posting it on the net , to me just looks like a big moment of delusion , and i think he'll regret it.
i want him to reconsider
so pete.....reconsider.....slow down have a cup of tea....and go through the alternatives....
and if you still think that selling all your precious vinyl , dex , the lot is the answer , then that's up to you..
and i'll still say you're crazy
:nono:
in fact i would go so far as to say
DELETE THIS THREAD PLEASE
as this is purely negative / non constructive
what would a newcomer think if he/she stumbled across a 4 page thread about giving up techno?..
no it's self absorbed , negative , unhelpful , and pointless....
steve .....mark...anyone please what do you think?
pete i am genuinely sorry that you feel the way you do
but what the hell were you thinking putting this here?

your probably right henry, I`ll leave it up till mid day, then it`s Locked.
Everyone has wished luck to the man, there`s no need to start fighting over it.
well, it's all a bit toys out of the pram if you ask me...
I thought I was giving it all up a few times, when all I needed was a bit of a rest, and 6 months of doing something else got me back into it with renewed vigour, and excitment... but yeah is all a bit dramatic...
honestly, i'm not starting a fight at all. i don't know pete at all, but it seems uncomprehensable to me to say 'right, that's it, i'm giving up music'. anyway, i'lll shut up. i betting you a tenner he'll be back if he's half the guy you describe. techno's way too infectious. ;)
He`ll be back.
I`ve already sent out out the the the Techno Black Ops unit.

mr drummer, you can **** right off...
you know nothing of what ive done, what parties i ran & the scene here in belfast..
i'm sellin my vinyl cos i aint gonna get stuck in the past.. unlike some. step away from the 303 ffs...
the reason i posted here was to say 'thanx & bye' to a lot of ppl i dont get to communicate with anywhere other than here..
if u think the thread is dung, stay off it.. all i wanted to do was say thanx to a lot of peeps who i feel have helped me...
its ok for you & mr EG with your labels & gigs.. i been hammering music for 20 years & its going nowhere so i'm moving on..
i used to be a Dave The Drummer fan but with that attitude ? stick it up your arse..
i never said ANYTHING about not listening to techno.. i said i was giving up my involvement..
you know nothing of me so keep your ill informed opinions to yourself.
and remove whatever the **** you wnat DB... you can stick your ****in forum..
btw, THIS bullshit is jus one reason i have no wish to have any links to the the 'scene'

Oh dear.....
haha its all coming out now, absolutely hilarious....
Pete i have to say you've just pretty much rubbished any of the positive aspect of this thread dude, these people where only giving their opinion and i have to agree on some parts.... i really dont see how someone can just "give up", its not a hobby or owt and the post did come across as just kinda "ah well im getting nowhere so i may aswell just give up!"... kinda like a kid who gets into karate or something, buys all the gear, works at it, then just gives up one day... its just kinda like "errr, why?" and to announce it is a bit prima donna u must admit that....
i do wish u good luck tho of course ive said this, ur a top bloke and you've done some good for techno over there, which cant be bad....
but there is a bit of a feeling of sour grapes hanging over the air now i must say!
thought this was getting locked anyway haha ;)

i have my reasons. i didnt start this thread for any other reason than to say cheers to a lot of peeps.. i had no intention of it truning into this..
but many ppl seem to think they have the ****in inside line on why i'm moving on..
and they dont. read what ya want into it. there are ppl here who had the decency to jus say 'good luck' without being smarmy cunts over it..
and there are those who presume to know the whys & wherefores..
who the hell do you think your are ? read a few posts on a forum, & think you know me ?
there were no 'sour grapes' til a few ppl started commenting on things they know nothing about.. THATS where the anger is...
and 'kind a like a kif...' wtf are you on about ? i been into music since i was 12 & was gigging before i left school.. you have NO IDEA of what ive done or the work ive put in..
and would never presume to know what you have or havent put into your music..
haha, i never once said i knew u well, i was judging on posts and discussions we've had on here... i dont claim to know the in's and outs and i dont particulary want to know, but u cant put a post up with such a galant statement and not expect a few people to say "i dont agree with it" or "i dont understand why ur doing it, i think its silly"
if u dont give reasons then people are left in the dark, and questions are then asked, opinions are given.... in this case they've not been taken well
you keep going on about what you've done for the scene, well thats cool, and until u give ur reasons why ur going to stop giving to the scene then people are naturally going to think "well u cant have given that much if ur giving up so easily"...
and thats not me saying that u are giving up easy, its me saying thats what its gonna look like to people because u havent given everyone the facts...
people have a natural instinct to learn from their environments, including internet forums, and when a post goes up that explains actions which have had an obvious, large amount of thought, well, some people are going to be interested in the reasons for the consequent actions....
time is irrelavant in anything, its what uve done in that time that matters... it doesnt matter if you've been into techno for 20 years, or 2 years, if ur contributing then superb, and if you've gained succes and respect in the time you've been into it then thats even better... its like saying "ive been into techno for 15 years longer than u so i must be better at it, or enjoy it more, or understand it more"... its irrelvant....
ur angry at people who are questioning ur actions... ur anger would be understandable if the reasons were apparent... but they are not... so alas... this will just go round and round and round and round....
Sorry this turned a bit nasty Pete.
I understand in a way, sometimes things can look a bit futile.
Good luck mate.
wow pete, i'm really sorry.
NO REALLY.
but as someone who doesn't know you at all from adam apart from on this forum, please understand what i said and the way i said it.
fair play to you mate. do what you wannna do, go the way you need to go. life is life. i know nothing of your circumstance, nothing about you and the way your life is. sometimes sitting behond a computer is easy - making judgements, applying words to your own life and thinking you know best.
i put my hands up man and apologise. i'm sorry. i wish you the best, i really do. you've actually been a great part of this forum.
good luck pete.
(and if you ever decide to come back into techno, you know there's alot of ppl here that totally respect you)
well hey, i've just unlocked this hoping something good can come in this. any good wishes to pete, totally needed here ;)
god i feel bad about this shit. pete is right. we really are fine with our gigs and life in music. i'd like to defend that by saying , well we've worked hard but hey, so have you. hmmm. this is a crazy. i'm sure you work just as hard as i do. well perhaps this music game has an element of luck???? i dunno. i just know i work my ass off for this. i don't want no proper job. hmmmmmmm.... pete need your response. arrghhhh you're probably not going to give it us now after this shitty post :cry:
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhh ffs lol
i'm movin on. i dont feel i have to explain or justify why. i do feel i should aknowledge & thank those that have helped & supported me..
there are many many reasons why i'm movin on. i dont feel i should have to list them jus to stop ppl from havin a poke..
there are maybe three ppl who have posted on this thread that actually have some idea of what i have done in my time.. and i have no wish to list them here just to satisfy the curiosity of some ppl... crime & eyes & drummer..
how many of you are waiting prsecution for postering ? not many i would hazard..
i have worked hard (in my bands and my djin... techno isnt everything) for a long time. and now i would like to have a different life..
now, what is so tragic & melodramatic about wanting to move on & saying cheers & bye before you do ?
suppose.. i should have jus skulked away & not say as much as 'later' to anyone..
i aint going into all of it, but read some of the purile rubbish & accusational bollox in this thread... thats ONE reason
cheers mr eg. appreciate it. pete :clap:
p.s anyone wanting to discuss this in a pub.. pint of Guiness ;)
all the best to you, pete! :!:
