Do you think good solid techno is dead

[Soitiz Info]

Theres still a few Good purist style Nights Booking quality acts in the north i.e Detatched in Leeds who always put on a good show!Colour@sankys,Locked Manchester,Atomic jam Birmingham (im sure youve heard of most of these?)And our event Defunkt will also still be flying the flag in 2010 for the darker harder styles in said Genre too with some Good headliners and talented Residents!

I think as long as the music is being produced(as it is on quite a large scale still!) there'll always Be a need for a few solid techno events in the uk,granted there aint many and some are few and far between but the ones that are still going are good!

A/jam is ok , but the last event was crap , nothing banging going on there , think they live on there name , fair play it is a good name

Some well good points brought up in this topic , , cash been one of the main things ,
As said you dont have to be a big name tp be able to play stomping techno , , with minimal churning out relentless tracks , events , its what seems to be out there for the punters :{

its like the word techno on its own has become a wrong word for promoters to use ,

Thats because most people use it these days to generalise the dance music style their in to!As im sure we all know The first recorded use of the word techno in reference to a genre of music, was in the late 80's.Many styles of techno now exist,Thats why folk use it for many genres of dance music(A friend of mine plays tech house and calls it techno)!

Detroit,Acid and euro style techno especially in the mid 90's was referred to or thought of when the"Techno"word was mentioned in the uk but underground dance music has changed and evolved alot in the last few years as it always has before as you and everyone else on here well know!Techno is seen as the foundation upon which a number of subgenres have been built,these days and maybe in the future who knows??
