I'd find it harder to mix that stuff in abelton but it would prob be just easier for people now to 'aquire' a diverse range on music.. and **** it all togther using abeleton.Quote:

LOL sorry about the confusion. Well I suppose what I meant was that techno is not the panacea of artistic expression like some people make out, but it's also by no means (in my book anyway) "very limited" as put elsewhere. Techno like any form of music has areas where it strikes a particularly poinient note. Concepts regarding the future for example e.g. Jeff Mills work exceedingly well. But try discribing something like politics with techno and you'll find it's pretty limited. Not saying that music can't have a political slant, just that it's not the most effective medium. Other art forms like theatre, spoken word or film would probably better suite this category.
Si Begg's on Novamute. Nuff said.
yeah danny i'm a big show off. **** u.Quote:

when you have someone who made a plethora of good releases and then makes minimal ask yourself
maybe this cat made a living off music and probably had no backup plan and has to adjust to the wave
as far as intec and all those other what would be considered commercial or cheese labels what most have to accept is that
there is an audience for that
the people who dont know any better of genuinely like that sound are going to go and buy that
and so are the dj's who play for the masses and say "hey a girl would really like this synth track over the average no kicks loop"
we as part of the machine need to push what we feel is real deal as hard as we can to at least be heard
if it works kudos to you if not you became part of the bigger schematics of things which integrally is education
figures i say something that makes total sense and no one wants to take action just bitch and moan
Somehwere along the way, I lost my hat.
I`m just gonna run back and see if I can find where I dropped it.
You guys go on ahead, I`ll catch you up.
Easy... I agree with ya matey :) Underground techno doesn't appeal to everybody, and just because it doesn't it doesn't mean that those people don't have a good taste in music. It just means that they probably think allong the same lines as we do, but it in no way is an excuse for us to be snobbish and arrogant towards them. Techno elitism is something that has corrupted what techno stood for in the beginning. It follows the same mindset as racism and religious fanatism... The idea that because of a small difference one group of people are somehow elevated in thier existance than another. It's ugly and has no place in this community.Quote:

No. There's enough ugliness in the world... Dance music gives me an escape from that and I see no need to spoil it.
well actually i think you could find that the reason behind intec being a bit on the cheesy side is because their label manager (jon rundell) is in fact a happy hardhouse/dance/style/nrg (or whatever it have being called this week), who even plays at tidy trax weekender events. those guys seem have to like their techno lately on this forum too. not to mention any names, but i think you know who you all are ;)
and here is the proof too for you guys

if you like that kind of sound it is up to you, but please dont hijack our sound to try and make yourself seem like you are a :terminator: when yo are really a :cheer:
everyone who is really into music has a snobbishly and arrogant attitude to what it is that they like. that is creating our passion to the scene. that is why we are here on these forums. our music is the best and fu cking rules
:lol:
hahahaha. lock and load bro :rambo:Quote:

By rideculing people who into other forms of music you just reduce the likelyhood of them giving your music a go. If you were really passionate about getting techno out there and recognised for what it is and not so concerned with keeping the old boys club under lock and key you'd probably enjoy it allot more too.
