something can be dark and funky so who the **** cares.. adam beyer has made cliched "dark" techno tracks (like on protechtion) and surgeon has made funky tracks (like la real or badger bite even). not everyone is a musical genius like the aformentioned producers but at the end of the day its all music and most of it is good production, its only the attitudes that suck (and we all have them).
diversify or die in cliche hell.
