minimal minimal everywhere minimal.

there is definitely a lack of middle ground in techno at the minute. you have shit loads of minimal and shit loads of schranz (which i love - it's all music). but once you really start looking, really searching, you can find it - just not at the rate that it has been. damn, anything that's in fashion is going to easy to find for sure, but what really makes me happy is that the middle stuff i play has been searched for through the hills - a real great feeling when i play it :)

just get on those internet sites mate and find that music. that's what djing is all about :)

Not that I actually DJ, but I couldn't agree more.
It's all about the quest :)

hip hop djs been at this for years.. and they've got a LOT more to get through - and they love it.

I find it a bit strange that some people believe there to BE no variety - crikey, there's thousands of different artists out there. And a lot of it is catlogued. in alphabetical order. in genre order too on some of the bigger dowload sites.

there's never been a better time for techno!

I cant listen to too much minimal thats why I stay away from it, But for christ sake theres lots of great techno out there old and new, Hard and funky and elctric and insane...
got to love techno what a genre spoilt for choice with sub genres and still people give out that theres only one kind around, mix it all up and get nice sound for your self, nothing worse than restricting your self when ur in to music or a dj r general musician, the more influcenes the more unique sound you will develop

theres still some good stuff out there, junos got a tonne of it but i find that 'this weeks new releases' takes up the whole top 50 charts so theres really no point in looking in that section, the best way is to find a few good producers your into and browse your around away there collabs, labels, remixes etc, and then do the same with others..

I've been grabbing downloads over the last few months, and mainly from Juno, but I've found some great stuff.
Lunch times at work generally involve downloading as many clips as possible, usually about 40 or 50.
Listening to them all whilst working, deleting the chaff, and then isolating the best ones.
Mind you, I've been caught out by Juno's method of using one segment of a minute and a half or so a few times.
When the preview clips show the track to be a builder, but when you buy it, after the breakdown it does naff all and is as flat as a pancake.
Gits.
Anyone got any recommendations for download sites that give you a better representation of the tracks?
