Anyone catch it?
Ruskin on Fergie?
Hope he got paid.
I have seriouse doubt about James now...
I thought that he was more into underground than overground...
You're not serious are you??Quote:

I call it intelligent thinking on Ruskins part as he's getting new people listening to his sound and hopefully they will become true techno fans and come out support the scene.
Would you have said the same if Ruskin had played on John Peel's show :?: :?:
BTW - Do you class Ignition Technician as Overground 'cos they are on Fergie's show in 2 weeks :?: :?:
At least by going on the show James is providing those who have not been exposed to the darker and more experimental side of techno an opportunity to hear these tracks and his style. And to Fergies credit it would be easy to have the likes of Marco Bailey etc on every week!
Give me a break, he played a simple radio show. Have you heard the upcoming LP or his remix EP for Coda? There's no Fergie-inspired business to worry about. If Fergie asked me to play on the show I would probably take the offer. How do you expect the masses to get into your sound if you have no vehicle to drill it into their heads? Granted the Beyer tracks he played were horrible...I didn't think it was a sell-out move.
I know what I could call ignition technician recently, it isnt over ground, it begins with s & ends with t :lol: s_ _t ;)Quote:

techno must not be mainsteam ...
i saw for myself that if a lot of people are going for techno,techno will
be "destroyed" !
techno is inteligent music !not for every dude on the street
listening on his headphones !
keep it underground!
as for my music as dustin sed...techno is and must be music for clubs and raves!
fight ther power !!!
got to look at it from ruskins or whoever else is on point of view, it would be hard to turn down a chance to get your sound on the radio which is broadcast world wide, as I say they must have their reasons, I bet they have a long hard think about it first.
The true techno scene will never go mainstream. It's one of the oldest styles of dance/house music around, 20 years in fact, and it has never gone mainstream in all that time. Fergie is a techno DJ, except he plays the commercially viable style which the dude on the street will accept and love. Even if it did, the true players would simply pull away and move direction, taking the real fans with them and leaving the rest to dance to Marco Bailey and Carl Cox and that's fine by me.Quote:

...ahhh
like to see mark saying something !
I'm no Fergie fan but in his defense I have to say that he made the decision to move away from the hard house sound a while ago and go down the Euro-Techno route, that makes him a techno DJ. He may change his style in a few years but so do all DJ's as time goes by. I used to play Industrial Strength and MOKUM.Quote:

nadam se da me razumes sta sam hteo kazati !
mislim da nije dobro da se tehno cuje sa svih "strana" !
kod nas je to rezultiralo propadanjem nekih klubova...
nema takvih pojava kod vas ?
razumijem.
dfndr just said this mainstreamzation of techno resulted in collapsing underground events cause you could hear it in every snobby club. same situation here. but really, who was playing in those clubs? ruskin like people or local funky wannabe mediocritets?
:nono: :nono:Quote:

I personally don't care if the club is full to the rafters with all and sundry as long as they appreciate the music, don't wear deeley boppers, leave the glowsticks at home and most imprtant of all - They don't tell anyone about it :lol: :lol:

I don't know about you guys...but here in the states clubs are consistently empty. I wouldn't mind seeing a packed club, or actually making money back on parties we throw with great talent from time to time. To be honest I don't care how commericial the scene gets, because the music I'll play and my friends will play never be appreciated by the masses.
And that's the bottom line.Quote:

guys i love you all...lets not fight again...
ok?
i have to totally disagree with you on the bit where you said techno is intelligent. some of it can be interesting and well thought out, but its not going to make you any smarter or enlightened.Quote:

creative=intelligent
no they are not intelligent.
i do not even think that IDM (what a stupid term by the way) is intelligent.
what artist has the nerve to say that their music is intelligent anyways?
creative does not = intelligent.
