What is the deffinition of Techno to you? Why do you love it so much and at what point did you commit to idea of loving it (playing it, making it, eating it, sleeping it etc...)
The abandonment of traditional conceptions of musicality in pursuit of something new and challenging.
Except "Techno" now seems to need to fit into this box of what "Techno" is, and doesn't seem to be an all-encompassing term as it used to..?Quote:

repetitive music that people take drugs to.

Techno is marching band music for delinquents.Quote:

According to the Stripey Jumper and mullet club in Dublin,Techno is what "Dubfire makes" - these days !
From when I first got into Techno...it was something that made me feel different,it was made you shake your ass,move your hips. Always kept me on my feet.
Techno made me fire records across the room. it was and still is exciting,persistant,explosive, that would be the best way I could describe it...

Techno is meeting new people in clubs, events, festivals etc etc and realising that alot of people actually have very similiar views and feelings about a type of music. Techno is appreciating the guys who allowed people who were not around at the time to still be able to be involved in a scene that is still alive today, whilst also pushing onwards towards the future and helping to keep it alive for alot longer
It's whatever you want it to be. Unfortunately these days, the actual ethos of what is deemed Techno is pretty much lost on most people, and Techno actually is just a 4/4 kick and uberschall loops badly whipped together. That is Techno

i like shuffle. and bass. and kickdrums. and 909 snares. that fits into techno somewhere, methinks.
a would say techno is repetitive percussion drivin music.
wot i like about techno is the ability to fire the records in as quickly and whenever you want and also mixing 2 songs for as long as you want within a mix - it then allows the dj/live act to make there own sound from this.......definately compared to the likes of trance and other genre's were its a case of just mixing in and out.....
with techno ye can totally mash up a mix with constant ****in about - fx, cuttin, spin backs, fast/long mixing -
in my opinion there is room for error with techno aswell as alot of the time wen am mixing, im mixing tht quick tht ive not got the tracks on beat but as i bring them into the mix i get them in beat......a ****in luv techno!!!
techno is the future, and whatever people make it

@Rhythmtech, I certainly do not frequent these clubs...
Techno is my release from normal everyday shit, like work and paying bills…it makes me happy especially when im in the studio or playing some of my tracks to lots of mad people in a club!! It makes me excited and makes me feel younger and it works really well with beer and fags!!
a recurring loop of drums or frequencies laced with subtle changes which constucts a grove.
Techno is a horse writing poetry on a flying carpet, being viewed through a telescope by a giant millipede before it is crushed by a yellow question mark. Forever.
Badger?
oops i meant groove.
yesssss.Quote:

I remember when techno meant technology.
Anything using technology is techno.
**** all genre police(yes,including you detroit)
less chitterbeep; more whompa.
techno for me allways was about the future , the technology , intelligence
the world around us , the noises whe heard every day but dont remember when whe get home
all that subconscious stuff whe have in mind , the past the present the future , old tribes dancing to repetitive rhythms...
techno is everyware but sometimes whe dont know that , its like the sound of a new car working , a sound of a machine making a new building in neighborhood
techno is all about progress and perfection
recently the techno change alot , its hard to get true techno , mechanical movements , complex rhythms
now techno its all about high speed loud beats and distorted noises for people full of drugs start jumping like monkeys (sorry i dont mean to offense nobody)
