Wilson & Fridell - Tonal Path

[DannyBlack]

Balls to it mate! Sometimes, shit happens.

[ethno]

I don't know why moderators don't get rid of all the negative posts. Just delete all the above crud and keep this thread going.

This duo, if they continue on the path their going, could put some quality hard techno back on the map.

I'm going to be completely honest here. I wasn't a huge fan of some of Glenn's most recent material. It really didn't sound like the old Glenn. However combined with Matthias, I think they both have some great things to bring to the table.

Here's to them making some banging sounds. I wish you guys great success.....

I would have mate, but non of them were reported.

Cool thanks a lot mate.
It's nice you lot dig the Tonal Path stuff. I believe you all will dig the Compound releases (did you hear Wardrum guys? Good?), they're more of what we all digged back then hehe, but slower.

What I find very nice about the Tonal project is it seems to attract both the side who likes more old school faster tunes and the side who digs the modern 125-130 BPM stuff.

I know many of the old veteran producers got bored to death when the minimal thing came, me included. Seems maybe a few of them can be on their way back however, need to convince em a little more ;)

[ritaheed]

dont think posts should be deleted, its a forum ppl, everyone's entitled to their say

anything new the tonal guys do should get put up for listining - am into hearing anything thats good techno

[SlavikSvensk]

Will have a lookout for Wardrum, havent heard any of that at all.

Just had a listen to the new compound, sounds fantastic brother!

Have you guys played any events together yet? Curious if you working up a live.....

[Mattias_Fridell]

Thanks mate, glad you like it.
Yes we're working on a live set, bookings can be done and we have some events coming up, just matter of dates and stuff right now (and to be on the same agency).

Ok, so I've given this thread a glance.
I know all parties involved, and have loads of respect for each individual in the discussion. Glenn, you opened many a door for me, and been a damn good mentor in some situations. Jamie, you're my ****in' dude man, and you've always pushed me to do what I want to, no matter the reaction. Mattias, you are one of the coolest, down to earth, non-egotistical and talented producers I've had the pleasure to get to know, as well as release on my now defunct label. I have loads of love for each one of you, what connected all of us, is techno. What bought us all to this forum, is techno.

As of right now, I feel techno is evolving.
A lot of techno fans/artists, including myself feel like techno has lost the plot.
Especially those of us who came in loving the speed, and the agression of it, but the rawness of it. Techno has since evolved and become a gateway for bad producers to become exceptional soundmen.
Some producers feel the only way to flush out the bad music, is to hold techno up to the same high quality production standards as say a commercial genre.
Others feel their primary influences have changed the story, and have gone from writing anger bangers to some highly intelligent stuff. The only problem with that, is that there is an entirely empty middle ground now.

Jamie, who I know personally, like myself has that aggressive, animal side, that when we are not listening to techno, it's full on death metal.

Where as Glenn, who is also the homie, has worked on some secret projects with some lush, highly evolved soundscapes, that would make Philip Glass jizz his pants.

Mattias, has even done some dope ass house.

It's really the individual tastes, that seem to not be meeting eye to eye here.

I understand all points, but I will say everyone has a point.

I too wish Glenn wrote tracks like the Coding Sequence Ep, but people evolve into their own potential.
Same for you Mattias, I loved Cobalt, and the way you've mastered the Swedish flavor, but you too, have evolved.
Jamie, you played hands down one of the beastliest live pa's I've ever had the pleasure of witnessing, and even though you dropped iced tea on my living room floor, we love ya to death in our house!

We're all good people here, we all genuinely love this music.
I think some of us really, really, really miss the guts of techno, while others are definitely involved with the pushing evolution of the genre further.

Well spoken brother, thanks !

Most entertaining thread ever.

Reading random pointless internet dick-waving is always a way to alleviate boredom.

*breaks out the popcorn*

[djshiva]

I'm sorry, but all that pointless wankery was decidedly heterosexual.

Absolutely! Superb old school BOA style thread

[clubsynthetic]

serious business it seems.

Techno like this is good to mix ( on decks) but not that great to listen to (not on decks)

[teknorich]

Just came across a greate example of a new, slower track (128BPM) but which keeps a good, strong Techno vibe to it:

PatrickDSP - Adam Jay - Codes (Patrick DSP Remix) - SoundCloud

It's definitely possible to stay dark, hard and Techno, without going to the old 140BPM speed limits. Perhaps a difficult thing to get right every time, but a push towards a more "Techno" sound is definitely a move in the right direction. I have high hopes for the Tonal Path project , as I understand that to be their aim, so gonna keep my eye on it!

[gunjack]

Jamie Ball is the new Gunjack!

um, no.

[djfilthmonger]

um, no.

ha ha this made me rofl

[gunjack]

anyway the tonal path tunes aren't bad at all. i think it's sophisticated and well thought out. much better than "sandwell" for example.
