Thanks for the info.

I think though whole point has been lost.
Your not wrong mate, It's that Hard, Industrial sound that got me into techno in the first place. I've been buying this sort of techno for years just fancied something different for a change and wondered if there were any labels that catered for this sound specifically.Quote:
Jeeez, the guy only wanted to get some pointers for some clubby, funky techno, for all you know he probably has a huge collection of old experimental industrial music from the late 70`s and early 80`s and is bored of listening to Reeko, surgeon, wunsch and fancied a change.

HE DIDNT he asked for 'funky' techno - something which you may not like and that is fair enough - however - systematically ripping the p!ss just makes you sound like you aren't getting any sex (do you D.I.Y. by any chance?)
what are you on about you? the stuff I listed is far and away funkier than anything else listed on this thread, he asked for funky, I gave him funky. The stuff I listed is not all from Detroit either, neither does it all sound like it's from Detroit. Get a clue, for fuc.ks sake, you're embarrassing yourself.Quote:

I'm fine, cheers, the only bleeding I do is out my rear end after a particularly fiery curry, and believe me the smell of that is funkier than any In-Tec release.
you want to be careful with that. that fiery curry coming through so close to where your head is. you might get chilli burn on your eyes.
Thanks for the tip.
Death on a stick, I can see what you're trying to say, but I think it's probably better you laugh to yourself behind your computer screen if you want to take the Michael out of what's being said here rather than the barrage of verbal shite your posting here, all can I ask is is your job really that boring??
Duncan, I don't think you've done yourself any favours by rising to the bait, and to the both of you, dropping the standards to a basic slagging match is a pretty pathetic really....
There's no greater put down than the sound of one hand clapping i.e. if it's getting on your tits there's always the ignore button....
Yaaaayyyyy! I haven`t had a good fight for ages!!
C`mon, who`s up for it, fight club styleeeee..

whos got the funk??
death - i do have a serious problem with your attitude sometimes. but you are obviously well into your own way of thinking and i do respect that and i admire it. but in the same way, shouldn't u respect everyone else's opinions? i really wish you would.
the main thing i hope ppl have learnt from this thread is that if you poke fun at someone asking for help, they disappear off and wish they'd never asked. this is really annoying. it's this whole mentality of keeping everything for yourself. poke fun and have a laugh about some 'leecher'. well aren't you the big man? it's so annoying. and it's not productive at all.
if i see someone out there on the floor asking for help, i help them. i don't care what they've been into, what complete rubbish they listen to. you help them - point them in the right direction without being sarcastic or rude. this thread should have been a post about everyone's different interpretations of funky techno to give addict some labels to search for. instead public school snobs have gatecrashed the party.
well that's the way i see it anyway.
PS some EXCELLENT comments by some really genuine forum members btw.
No. I respect everyone else's right to an opinion, but of course I don't respect everyone else's opinions, and neither does anyone else.Quote:

How is that helping anyone other than the leechers (your word, just adopting it for my own uses) who throw up endless identical EPs of tripe for the masses to eat up?Quote:

Yeah well, what you see is what you get. The same topic being discussed "in real life" will get the same response. You'll have noted, presumably, that I don't start with the insults until either they are directed at me by your "really genuine forum members", or I read something so stupid that it's insulting.Quote:

You should try that line when the real grim reaper turns up at your door many years from now. I'm sure he'll repent and decide to let you keep your soul. Or was it funk? I can never remember. mmmmm, funky techno.Quote:
death - i do have a serious problem with your attitude sometimes.
ok then. points said and made. i have my way, you have yours.
i don't agree with you but hey, i'm not going to change you on the internet am i...
Hydraulix is funk!
I can't believe how asking for Funky techno can cause such an uproar. I respect the fact that it probably isn't a genre or sub genre that people recognise but it was a certain type of music that I was looking for.
What the **** :neutral:
it's mad but that's one of the things about techno. people believe in it but everyone has their own version of it. the thing about most other genres that have come up over the years is that you can easily pigeon hole them. techno has been around since the begininng - there's so many different sub genres and styles of techno it's silly. good but silly. that's why arguments like this start very easily.
dont take it to heart addict.. death did actually point some really good labels out as did many others on here. you just need to get yourself down to a good record shop and make your own mind up.
the best advice i can give you is to spend as long as possible in a record shop or even online and listen to as many different labels as possible and make up your own mind, thats what i do
Erm, sorry, no...Quote:

There still seems to be a lot of confusion about all this. Maybe this will help.
Detroit techno comes from Detroit, right ?
So Funky techno obviously comes from :

Easy, innit !
And any newbies trying to get into the Funky sound would do well to check out these seminal albums which defined the sound of the city and, indeed, the genre.

Some of you guys are pathetic. I agree with Mark EG. When someone asks for help, you help them. If you can't be bothered to help because they don't like the same crap you do, ignore them.
It's funny, I love all styles of techno but the absolute one style I have never been into is the UK acid techno thing. I see it spoken of on the forum here all the time but I don't waste my time bashing people for it in their threads. It's pointless, it would be a waste of my time and their's. I'm not here to take any sides. I just want to know why in the hell do you waste your time arguing about stuff that doesn't concern you?
Main Entry: funky
Function: adjective
Inflected Form(s): funk·i·er; -est
Etymology: funk (offensive odor)
1 : having an offensive odor : FOUL

It's stupid like two people from the same race being racist towards each other.
who ever said they r from te same race? :P
jesus antonio in-tec? hehe you must be joking...
I'm not waving a flag for em Luka. I'm just saying regardless of whatever they churn out. It still helps techno as a whole.
it does as my bloody anus forsaken on a north pole.
here here. why slag off other techno lovers (whatever flavour) as if they least they are listening to mainstream pop.Quote:

Not helping techno evolve no, but helping the lifeline yes.
there's obviously room for many different types of techno. it's not my favorite by any means, but there are a couple in-tec records i like for their party aesthetics. that's fine. not everything has to be high-brow. things can be fun too.
there are plenty of great techno records coming out, and i agree with sam, anything that keeps techno viable economically is good for all of us.
Wise words SOS :clap:
I wasn't going to enter this discussion but you've said what I was thinking ;)
Man, you souldn't blame one sub-genre's lack of inward involvation on the horizontal diversification of the scene and the gradual intergtaion with other sounds. Hard and mininal techno, for example, aren't a pure form of music. they have evolved themselves from african, US and european influences - later adopted by asia. So, many people don't see a techno sound as something that can't be borrowed from.Quote:

Surely its a personal thing based on parties you go to and everybody has there own tastes whether it be tribal, squat, acid, rave, brazilian, booty/ghetto, minimal, hardtek, techstep, jungle, 2step, JazzStep, 80s SanFran & skate Punk, 60s garage... pop
