After just reading the opinions some of you hold i have decided to put my own two pence in seeing as alot of the opinions you have put out i hold myself. I know nothing of distribution or the politics within the dance music industry all i know is how i feel.
I think the first thing that people should ask themselves is what is hard techno. If anyone can tell me i wud like to know cuz ive been listening to it and i still dont know, ive been on store websites to stores and to me sum of it sounds more like hard house/hard dance than techno. Is it a particular sound, a particular feeling a particular place that evokes emotion, just what is it. i feel in order for anythign to move on there cant b boundaries or genres there jus has to be music. to me the problem arose from the first time someone said oh whats that, thats hard techno. people shouldnt worry about what they are making they should just make what they want to and if it falls under a particular genre then so b it but they shouldnt start off and say im gonna make hard techno cuz then everything will start sounding the same b cuz they feel they have to stick to certain sounds, tempo and arrangements. i here so many tracks nowadays that sound exactly the same and i think to myself there all these people who get to work in pro studios with all the equiptment at thier disposal and they come up with the same stuff. i say stuff because to me techno (not hard techno) is a feeling that goes on a journey and the so called hard techno i hear keeps u in the same place waiting for the mother ship to come beem u up but it never does (the point im trying to get here at is not to put labels on techno) sumone once quoted (not implying anyone on here) house is techno and techno is house i say fuk off techno is techno stop shackling the music. to move on the feeling has to come back simple as that. people say it needs to go back to the old school but the only thing the old school encapsulates is the vibe at th time and really and truly that vibe that was there will never come back a new wave and a new vibe has to b created. i dont believe u can sit around on your ass hoping its gonna come back cuz thats what the music cycle does if anything is gonna happen within hard techno or anyother techno genre the vibe has to be created and it has to start now. take everything so deep back underground that all the bullshit that surrounds the music goes. take it all off the radar completely then those who r true will be the only ones left then one day the music will come back as fresh as the day it first arrived but hey this is just my opinion and what do i know except how i feel.

Well stop calling it 'hard' for a starter... and just let techno be techno.
