    I'm quite fond of that stuff with kick drums and hi hats. It's been done before I know but it is very good. I wish people would make more of it instead of talking about it.

    nah! dave clarke on the phono/line switch!! aaaaaaaaagh!!
    stop it!!! i'll cut your hands off!!!! do it on the crossfader so you dont get that massive out of time click caused by flipping the circuitry. he's clearly got the rhythm in his hands so why doesnt he just use the cross fader, it would sound worlds better.

    dude can scratch though, as well. ;)

    This is how I see it...

    The 4:4 kickdrum dance scene is evidfently getting smaller so promotors can't afford to be as fussy as the used to be. It's about getting hold of good music that appeals to everyone. Most specialists realise this and are adapting their sets accordingly. DJ's have to play to the crowd they've been paid to entertain. The hardhouse sound spectrum is massively over exploited at the moment so it's DJ's are looking elsewhere for new material because they share the same goal as all of us. bringing different, quality music to a new audience.

    Under careful guidance hardhouse DJ's are making some incredible techno and vice versa. In this age of dance music diversity is essential and anyone who'll freeze out a quality techno artist because they've dabbled in hard house can really get to f*ck.

    Hard house f*cking wicked in small doses of the right stuff and mixed with techno you get to please the whole room and not just one geeky niche of snobby coke head blokes.

    I say that because if I said techno people would think "proper techno" and if I say hard dance someone will think hard house/hardstyle/trance. There's always one pedantic bastard whop makes it difficult. Dance is a usable term but I'm sure someone could split that hair too.

    yeah sorry, not really in agreement. the music i play out most often right now is 4/4 kick drum based music and is exploding all over europe. filling everything from big clubs to small bars and selling very well.

    if you've shackled your artistic life to one creatively sinking ship, to then jump ship and change your style and label it up as something else out of desperation for the quogmire you're facing, then where has the determination gone for the sound you supposedly had so much passion for in the first place. it reaks of artistic unpleasantness.

    mr drummer is one of the only people i can give any respect to in this scenario. for doing what he's done for years, then when the clubs styles have been forcably moulded, he's well in the postion to keep on doing what he's doing, and even for the fans who may have felt miffed at his apparent departure, they cant really complain cos he's prob still churning out high quyality productions and their respect for him would still remain intact and their miffed-ness manifests itself as scepticism of the morals of HH djs who 'suddenly' discover their latent love of techno they 'always' had.

    but for it to go the other way, nah! a hard house producer/dj converting to a techno one just wouldnt happen. its still hard house but with more ingredients, because they've hit the end of the road with the limitations that they'd given themselves.

    alex claver: his discogs list looks like a HH producer but with the word techno used as misplaced generalising descriptive term. a few releases on hydraulix dont make up for the amount of releases on tidy trax, and that kind of sums it up for me.
    I dont know. You give people freedom and what do the do with it?
