Most divided music scene in the world

I think it will be the opposite.
With decreasing sales, everything will just get lumped togather in the "techno" section

Which is a good thing in a way.

There`s this fantastic second hand record shop in london I go to, and it`s techno section is just this huge mess of electronica.

I love it.

I just dig in sometimes and buy loads of cheap vinyl for like, 50p and a quid, that I have never heard of, and I get some great stuff.

Techno making MTV. hmmm

That would only work if it had a formula that would appeal to the general public. In other words cheesy catchy riffs and what not. Reminds me of what happened to trance when some bright spark realised what would happen when you mix a euphoric trance melody to female house vocalist. Right nail in the coffin for underground hard trance that was

I think MTV would only pay interest techno if it could make some $ out of it. The techno rap crossover thing seems like its already been happening for years. If an artist wants do push techno closer to rap then fine. It would work, wouldnt make a difference to my life because I dont watch MTV

Never caught the show much as I didn't have cable TV at the time. But, at least in the states, it seemed to play stuff like Underworld, Future Sound of London, Orbital, etc. It was also responsible for some slightly younger kids I know now getting into hard techno. But, the show did eventually get panned. I don't know how much of a bad influence MTV can be said to have had on techno in the US. If anything, it seems like those who got into it through MTV exposure and stuck with it dug deeper to find the sounds that weren't played on the air.

Ahhh.....growing pains of a pubescent little Techno genre.

She'll be right mate ;) just do your thing and spread the word, reach as many people as possible in any way you can. You peeps should think yourselves lucky you HAVE a market like Europe/UK. Down here in OZ we got nuthin'......

But we still try and we come up with all sorts of ingenious methods - but its mostly for the love of it. No record company wants to even look past POP music down here and many great musicians starve to death or get a day job (which then means less music and more pop).

My 2cents would be to promote the Live techno artists more because DJs are losing ground because many people dont like them coz a majority of them do not much - thats the sentiment here in Australia anyway. I have spoken to alot of people in my quest to try to reach new markets for Techno. Most people still think techno is all about DJs and they dont like them coz they dont "play" anything. When they see a live techno artist they are hooked straight away. I have had many conversations with respected Rock musicians who respect the Live techno artist (even when they dont like techno). We regularly get more and more Rock musicians to our gigs now coz they love to watch us play those big chunky beats.......?

food for thought.

Will you please take this private already? It's beyond stale. Especially when unknown personal grudges seem to be responsible for the majority of this crap.
