I think the change that will make the diff. is the method of delivery. Its standing out that there is movement away from a vinyl DJ based format to a more creative digital format. The musical structure may stay within the boundaries of what constitutes techno but the creative possibilities will expand and allow evolution in some way. Different effects, different transitions, different sounds, different builds and breaks etc.

What's missing in techno is guts to do what the f*ck you want to with your music.
Everyone's so godamned hellbent on sucking ass of the It sound at the moment.
Instead of trying to get better at what they want to do.
Slayer has yet to make a pop rock album, and those ****ers are old.
Ice Cube is still cube.
Glenn, Ben Sims, Mark Eg, all of them are still themselves.
The change should be to stop spot jockin the hot sound of the moment and be your own f*cking moment.
Good call SOS
Also holotropik said some good things regarding the digital shiznit.
I aggree 100% that Ablton and the digital musicion will play a big part in where we are heading.
Alltho I will allways buy records because I love the format dearly(yes I know we have said this a million times)Why sould we continue to buy so many records in the future(or now for that matter)when we can play our own music, our friends music(with permission of course)and buy an mp3 so simpley?
And of course there the many producers who have never been and never wanted to be Jocks who can now play to a crowd with ease and have much more controll over the way their sets a structured.
Just my thoughts guys altho I still havent got my lasy arse as good on Ableton as I am on a pair of turdtables and am myself kinda living in the past :)
lol *turntables
not so much living in the past.....as things change maybe you will evolve the style with which you play a vinyl set having listened to the techniques used with the new technology. Maybe you will require tracks to be structured in a different way and put onto viny in order to take this further?Quote:
