NEWSFLASH ::::::: Chris McCormack giving up techno

**slavestudios** · 21-06-2005, 10:22 PM

personally, i left the techno scene (in a djin/live/promoting aspect) because the lack of scene in belfast was frustrating me to the point where outside makin a few loops there was little or no joy to be had. just constant hassle & financial instability.

i worked very hard & spent much money in an attempt to create something and while i suceeded in some aspects, there where others where i didnt. and you can only live this lifestyle for so long constantly battling before you look elsewhere. the money, friends, jobs & girlfriends i lost in my time ? its jus got too much. its not worth it.

now i have my course, possible employment in a structered career path & no more painful nights in clubs. i make my loops (which i always distribute gratis to anyone) & thats it. happier than i have been in a long long time.

i never had a problem with the music. jus the machine that the music is wrapped up in.

i wish chris all the best & can empathise with him. i have no idea of whats going on in his personal life (as ppl didnt when i posted my thread about leaving) so i will make no presumptions on such an issue.

i do feel however, that his comment about techno has left him open for criticism. and tbh, i dont think he'll be bothered in the slightest by the comments.

but thats his view. and hes as entitled to his view as much as the next human being.

tbh, i think if we all sat round a table with a few beers & some spliffs as opposed to these bloody forums, we would all appreciate each others views a lot better.

reagrdless, cheers for the corkers McC. ive had my criticisms of your work in the past, but at the same time, jees, sis you unleash some devil vinyl

good luck chris :clap:

p.s Number & Measure remix - sick

Just respect what he is saying and leave it be.
I was just as gutted when Laidback Luke left techno
and now he's a friggin half ass star in holland.
Maybe Chris will Uk Gold it up the charts and if so good for him.

Cheers, Chris.

bwahahahahahaha how many records you have out bro? why you quit, you ain´t get no love? why not keep putting out dope records and let your body of work deal with the haters? do you know me man? i got more than 30 records out since 2000, work every friggin day making new and diverse styles of music. man what am i bothering explaing to you for CM? you gave up right?

pffft. bro, when you get back in the game and off your pitty potty, i will be more inclined to give you the respect you probably deserve.

**davethedrummer** · 22-06-2005, 02:45 AM

this is negative.
techno is still good.
it is still happenning
i will never give up

sorry chris....much respect to you....but no.... we are not done yet.

**davethedrummer** · 22-06-2005, 02:55 AM

ok here's an analogy:

it's like people who are into bikes
suddenly getting into cars....

you don't say to all your biker mates
" f@ck you guys you're all stupid.... i'm into cars now"
do you????
you just go and get into cars right?

so ........
i don't appreciate it when techno poeple come on here
which is a forum for people who love techno
(not pop, not rock , not punk , but techno right?????)

and say ..
" i'm giving up techno ...it's crap etc etc etc "

sorry but this has got to stop
it's bad for morale

and we just don't need to know

sorry chris
respect for many of your tracks
but please.........don't bring it down

enough.....if you don't like it , you know what you can do

My sentiments exactly.

Once again, cannot express enough the respect I have for CM, but whatever disillusionment he may or may not have with the whole scene isn't apparent to me. I still love every aspect of the whole thing, and I've got a long way to go before I get bored.

**The Germ** · 22-06-2005, 09:51 AM

Yes i agree Chirs has made some amazing different records, but if you are giving it up don't tarnish the music others are making since that is what they are expressing. Granted a lot of the tunes coming out now are loopy bongo and clicky crap, but if you are true to your music and express yourself those records shouldn't effect you. Just keep doing your thing and try to push your own boundaries and you shall find happiness. I think Chris had has a huge imapct and various artists and to see his influence go would be a shame for many that have looked up for him for inspiration. I know the tune he did on Blacklisted was my favorite tune for some time and gave me inspiration in the studio many times.

Well

Good Luck with what ever ya do CM

**RDR** · 22-06-2005, 10:17 AM

Im just gonna get on with teaching, writing and enjoying music. Thats the only way to fly!
