PS i like beyer.

that mr sliff on jehrico 02 still floats me boat ;)

[SlavikSvensk]

yes, now shall we return to adam beyer discussion?

he is influential...but why?

[The Overfiend]

That Re-Manipulated record isn't anything that wasn't done by any Nyc Puerto Rican producer back in 95.
I.e yo fellas boriqua posse
stuff like that.
Check the reference.

Its all about the Code Red series if we are talking influential. as in Label & Stuff Beyer released. That Sim Remanipulated remix shouldnt come into the fray unless you suddenly became a sambalatintechno producer straight after hearing it.

but he didnt invent or revolutionize anything with that, anyone can take a celia cruz sample and make it big, i hate that people sample that stuff and end up with a nonsensical spanish quote.

[massplanck]

thats what i was implying.

Adam Beyer influenced me when I heard the code red series. Other people started influencing me after that....

[SlavikSvensk]

okay...i'll stop beating around the bush. i think he has been influential in the sense of popularizing (within the techno community) big-production, sample-based drum tracks. he was not the first, nor the last. his best stuff, IMO, is melodic and generally overlooked. but some of his percussive records (code red 6...i believe co-written with marco corola), safety sessions (co-written with joel mull) and others, were huge. but his style has been mimicked ad naseum!

for better or for worse, techno is where it is now in large part because of him (and, of course, some others).

what i want to also know is why he had so much influence...

...why more than, say, cari lekebusch, who was probably about as popular in 1997 as he was...?

[BRADLEE]

He's been the man for a long time. Many of great tunes have comes form his hands and the whole DC imprint was probably one of the most sucessful techno labels ever. So I'd have to say he's played a pretty big role in the game.

However times change and eventually the torch has to get passed to someone else. So, Who's it going to be :?: :?: :?:

"How important is Adam Beyer to techno?" i would say not important enough to have even made this ( ) lame assed thread. beyer ain't originate shit, he just gave that mass produced, ikea feel to the raw shit glenn already had going imo.

seriously. :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: beat me to it.

[SlavikSvensk]

:hmm:

well, you are entitled to your opinion, but that's not really what i was trying to get at with this thread. i'd rather talk about why he has been influential, and what that has meant for techno, rather than argue about whether he a) rules or b) sucks. i'm sure that's been done elsewhere to fascinating effect...

hmmzz I heard loads of his first records were mixed in the studio of carola by carola.....

So actually you like carola.. :lol:

(never can be sure about the rumours though.. :roll: )

Same as Conflict was saying - it was Adam Beyer stuff that realy got me into Techno, so I have to respect it on that level.

Plus, I keep digging out old Drumcode records and remarking on how good they sound.

... and his remix of Woodcarver is quality.

Also, picked up a couple of relatively new Beyer tunes - one on Mad Eye, I think? - which are very good. Especially, the glitchy skippy stuff.

Biggest selling artist in Techno anyway, or at least certainly was at one point.

I thank him for putting this out : beast tamer volume 01
