dont rate Pontape at all tho, its terrible

Well said man! First time i have heard someone say this. That track only went through the roof because its on Carl Cox label. Listen to the production quality etc, I dont think the hype should have been all that big up!

Pauze

rubbish!
pontape IS a great track. it was burning dancefloors in brasil long before carl cox came along and signed it.
i don't see intec propelling any other artists to the same heights.
no, sorry ,it was just what was needed at the time. o.k. it's old now but the production is great and it's just very unique sounding which is why people loved it. a very simple but effective peice of techno.
renato however has acheived world status from that one track and left other possibly more talented djs behind which has put some noses out of joint. but at the end of the day he's a nice guy and he ****ing bought his gear and worked on his sound way before anybody else had even got going so respect is due i think.

This is my opinion here. I have heard many other things and whats behind this track doesnt really apeal to me. I like tracks that have substance this track doesnt challenge my mind.
On another note I have nothing agains Renato Cohen, yes he has done alot for the brazilian techno scene as well as himself. For that I think he deserves alot of respect for sure.

**davethedrummer** · 20-07-2003, 09:10 PM

fair enough frank
tell you what i wish i could've seen renato live a few years back
he was supposed to be really fantastic according to julian lib and mara

**Adverse** · 20-07-2003, 09:17 PM

hmm unique sounding i don't know about that.. remided me an aweful lot like minue orange in some ways.. not horrible quality just not so deserving.

**Esox Lucius** · 20-07-2003, 09:42 PM

what???

minus orange is one of the best techno tracks ever made!

**Adverse** · 20-07-2003, 10:26 PM

hmm maybe not 'an aweful lot' but it just didn't sound very unique.. guh..

i like minus orange quite a bit myself :)

i think renato is doing some commercial things right now.
carl cox made pontape thats is right now.
i like this track but now is too commercial.
