    Default techno

    over produced?

    i love northern soul & perry's rockers sound despite them sounding pretty ruff. i can see that production is an important factor when making techno and new technology has meant production has increased 10 fold. is the production of techno taking over from the musical nature of it?

    I would say yes. In some cases it appears to be about production over content.
    Solitary by nature.
    Isolation is the gift.
    Does anyone have courage to stand apart any more?

    my favorite preach -

    circa 1994 if a party at 100 people at it. 1 was a dj and 99 are partiers.

    today - 100 people - 1 is the dj, 94 are djs wanting a gig, and 5 people are partiers. and the 94 wanna be djs are making fun of the 5 partiers outfits.

    imo - techno isnt over produced. there is just not enough true partiers.

    i would disagree, in some cases yeah it certainly is production over content. But even in a lot of those you could hardly call the production amazing compared to that in the wider world of music.

    true but maybe it becuase they soon realised that the 1 person djing was getting all the rewards (and for little effort)!! if i go to a night i'm there to party. don't see what this has to do with production tho

    if someone played a banging track that was badly produced maybe those 94 wannabe djs (&producers) are now saying critising the sound of the bass or complaing the kick is too flat and sounds to pffffffffffy. :lol:

    imo the social notion that being a partier is only a stepping stone prior to being a dj, must be ended.

    people must be proud to be partiers. and the djs, promoters, and producers must make the partiers proud to be partiers.

    Dude, Techno is based on perfection. from the production, to the presing, to the artists who plays it for the audience. True not all kick are hard hitting or crystal clear. But thats what seprate us form progressive nonsense. generic beats with a vocal thrown on top. I think that perfection is what makes/drives techno.
    On the flip side sometimes a cool sound is a cool sound and a few kicks & hats that are made perfectly can be boring...

    im not sure what parties your going to, but thats certainly not the case over here or in the clubs i go to at least, far from it.... i find it more often than not the party goers are 99% of the time happy to simply get on with partying whilst trying to keep an eye on the tracks getting played, the tricks the dj is doing etc certainly in places like Voodoo, Atomic Jam, were there is always someone wanting to know what the record is thats playing or how a trick was done, which is good, because they appreciate all aspects of the club environment without hassling the dj all the time or trying to pass on cd after cd... but i guess some people know when to wait their turn and some dont....

    re the production thing, its a tricky one.... but id say id rather hear a track thats not amazingly produced but has really good musical content than something thats produced amazingly but lacks any credible ideas
