wow amazing posts ppl :)
aye its a right shame when you listen to this stuff compared to whats getting battered out now....
when you look at Umeks old stuff to his new stuff - shame on you umek!
and ave noticed the space djz have went all hard minimal aswell - a do like their stuff but a couldnt get enough of their jakn shizz when they were dishing it out - noticed their using traktor aswell with a couple of controllers :(
Really hoping someone ups the Skoog remix on Heroes, that was my shizz
YouTube - Mike Humphries & Glenn Wilson - Aural Exciter
YouTube - Oliver Ho - Midnight
Nobody around here gives Oli Ho enough credit, dudes a ****in god bro.
yeah, those Heroes Remixes were some killer records.
Unreal hw much Glen Wilson is cropping up in this thread when we're talking about proper techno
That late nineties sound that planet rhythm / compound / compressed / fine audio hit just right seems to be most peoples definition of proper techno
As mentioned above - what the **** happened to that sound?
It's still around, but very few and far in between.
Clubs now wont book it, so people go with the trend as well as get caught up in the idea of slower techno giving you the ability to show how skilled of a producer you are.
The plots been lost, the ideal of making music to dance to has been replaced with look how supernerd I am.
And yes, back then I remember being at the record shop and ordering in advance Wilson, Humphries, Headroom, Angel Alanis, Drumcode, Punish, Theory, Oliver Ho records before I even heard them, because there was something special to be obtained. Yes with the whole digital age, more people had the ability to "make" music, and schranz came out and it was like Hard Techno's red-headed step son, but not everyone even now has that special something that separated you from everyone else.
Look at half of those schranz guys now making water torture soundtracks...
Same for the black turtle neck square frame rockers...
Same for the douchebag party boys aka the "big names" with their Justin Beiber haircuts, falling drunk over each other in Ibiza or Miami or where ever the juicehead minimal bops hang out.
Me personally I don't care for a f*ckin trend, or whatever the sheep think is hot right now. I like, live, love some hard techno, it's subjective.
If Slayer started making emo-pop half of their fans would have a f*ckin fit, I think some people forgot about the bastardized fans out there now who can't give a **** less anymore about techno because their heroes have strayed.
I had the lad in the record shop keeping Glenn Wilson records aside for me and anything on his many labels.
this tune sums up techno to me
YouTube - DJ Shufflemaster - Mark Bernard Load Remixes (SUBVOICE 17)
remember goin mad to it in voodoo back in the day.
Well played Esox, that one always got mixed into
YouTube - DJ RUSH freaks on hubbard (dave clarke remix)
I LOVE those two tracks. Dave Clarke FUSE mix, the yellow CD cover, had both on and it was amazing!
I was beginning to think techno was going to disapear up its own arse a year or so ago. Everything sounded so arty, fancy dare I say minimal? Nothing will measure up to the sound of the late 90's to zero's imo but theres hell of a lot of good shit out there if you turn over a few rocks to get at it.
Back then you had an afternoon in your local vinyl shop to pick out your tunes. Now your constantly assaulted on social networks etc with new material to listen to. Which is good, we never had it so good rather than mixtapes and mp3's to hear whats going on, whats new and fresh.
There's alot more people making techno, alot of different opinions of what is techno. I read alot on here about the scene being saturated with it mostly being utter gash. Fair enough. Just gotta keep sifting through the shit to the gold!
I just listened to a Podcast there, expecting it to be quite good. I am very disappoint. Techno, correction, what passes for techno these days is just lazy bollocks.
YouTube - Classic Techno Track : Joey Beltram - Ball Park
