I would agree with with what you all have said but the problem is that 2/3 years ago us techno heads were whinging about the fact we werent getting recognition from the mainstream or even better slagging off people for NOT liking techno. Now its 'popular' people cant swallow it.

This 'poppy' techno that you talk about was around last year and the year before. Its retarded that the same people who complained about it NOT getting recognition and pissed of that its in the public eye at last..

Tough titty. I'm no fan off jules or fergie. But how else can youngsters discover regis/glenn wilson/blackout audio etc without using these guys as some sort of a gateway. Were hardly a good advertisment with all our bitching and moaning etc. If this 'popular' techno inspires some kid to ditch his Lasgo records for some Intec tunes then i'm all for it. Dont tell me that the day after you dropped your first 'yoke' you woke up and your head was suddenly filled with buckets of techno knowledge and you knew what tunes to play!!!

At the end of the day the muppets will give JJ and Fergie a raptourus applause if they drop their cacks on stage and take a dump on the decks. but.... some of them will be drawn to what techno is really about and add new blood to the scene.


example-> a spiky haired glowstick merchant JJ fan goes to one of his gigs or hears one of his sets-> he eventually find out the name of that 'killer' track , it's a 'player' record -> he visits the player website -> 'player' have a top ten section on the site > two glen wilson tracks are on it -> Next time he's in a record shop he picks up some wilson track on compound -> he ditches the glowstick fetish and becoms a moany old **** like the rest of us!!!!!!!!!!

Cheer up!!!!
