techno on radio 1

**davethedrummer** · 17-07-2003, 01:53 PM

and whats wrong with making gay comments?

well i'm glad to hear that the mag is turning itself around
it was easily the worst of them all in my opinion.
dj isn't too bad sometimes
but it's all bullsh*t really
i think upfront is pretty good it maybe deals with a bit more trance than techno but they had an interview with henrik b a few issues ago and the reviews are pretty good .it's quite an underground mag

**Jimfish** · 17-07-2003, 04:34 PM

yeah, dj isnt too bad when you are getting voted in at number nity-somthing in thier top 100 you mean

**Jimfish** · 17-07-2003, 04:37 PM

Good ridance Mickey! Welcome Kevin!

Agreed, kev is a dj at least (is he still) and is tryin too do summit a bit different.

M8 was gettin too the point that it was Mickey and fergies diary for 2 thirds of the mag. lol... and that radge blonde chick who isnae even that fit, talkin a lot of bolloks about how she is the biggest clubber in the world etc...

hahaha
1-0 dave the drummer! :D

**djfase** · 17-07-2003, 10:46 PM

Anyone remember eternity and wax magazines?

Two fine mags if you ask me. Both mainly based on the music only

hoisted by my own petard!

i agree with dave, in that saying upfront is the best dance mag out there, the only one worth reading, just goes to show the best things in life are free!

**wenna** · 21-07-2003, 10:42 AM

for free i would say that upfront is top quality!

in its time eternity was the only underground dance magazine
m8 was ok, good for the trance reviews and the odd cd now and again.
wax-good for techno reviews and the odd cd now and again...
i think that is is probably very hard to sell a truely underground magazine nowadays :cry:

On the subject of Fergie - Who ****ing cares , as long as I get more Techno on the radio I don't care who plays it. I think we all just get upset cause we wouldn't mind doing something like that ourselves and we get a bit pissed when it come to the fore through someone with no passion for the music , like we have.

But all of the Radio1 dj's (excluding John Peel , they will never interfere with his show , WOULD YOU??) Carl Cox included are just faces and names for the ignorant. It's for people who say they don't like techno in one sentence and then rave about Carl Cox(who plays 90% techno , shite but still techno). Radio1 is for muppets who haven't got a clue , pity we didn't have real radio stations like they have in Germany!!!

As for Music mags , I used to buy Jocket Slut but now I just find it tedious , the same people kissing each others arses and promoting their mates records. You've got guys from one half of a production duo reviewing the other halfs solo efforts. Loads of bollocks. They think because they only put initials beside the reviews that you aren't going to have a clue who did they review , they must think we are all ****ing stupid. And most of the Techno records are reviewd by the same person , which shows a distinct lack of interest from them in this genre.

I may be the only one that thinks this but I would hate to have Dave Clarke on the radio all the time, I would much rather have a guy on who is a bit of a laugh and has a bit of banter and normality about him. Another radio show for the Clarkmeister would just feed his already inflated Ego. When was the last time he produced a good record , go on tell me ,he can mix but he overuses the 600 to **** anyone can do that. Another dj who rests on his previous lorals.

**davethedrummer** · 22-07-2003, 02:52 PM

hahahahaa
what an angry post!
i think you're quite right about d.a.v.e. clark haha!
i'd rather hear someone who's maybe a little more easy going than him.
although he does claim to have calmed down recently.
but i don't believe him.

i still reckon chrislib
or mark would do a great job
'cos we'd get a bit of everything then and i don't think there are many djs i could say that about.

**Addict** · 22-07-2003, 02:57 PM

It took me bloody ages to read everyones posts

but from what I've read I agree with Patrick's post about getting the right DJ to represent techno rather than Fergie, this sort of happened with Hard Trance as well, we had Judge Jules representing it to the masses and it was the bottom of the barrel stuff :cry: . From what I can gather after 3/4 years listening to underground music this always seems to happen, except maybe with hard house, most of the Hard House DJ's I was into got to represent there sound (Lashes, Fergie, BK) but then now they apparently play techno and BK is a hard trance producer all of a sudden. Vicious circle!!

**Si the Sigh** · 22-07-2003, 03:28 PM

...Speaking of Vicious Circle...I liked the Acid Disco remix Mr Cullen! AAAACCCCIIIIIIIDDDDD!!!! 8) IBack to the Radio 1 thing, I also agree that Fergie is not the right man for teaching techno to the massive. Someone else should be doing it really, and like Addict said, look at Judge Jules and his brand of "hard" trance. Techno on Radio 1 is a good thing though. People who though techno is a dirty word and ment 300bpm noise are slowly begining to open their minds a bit...That has to be a good thing.

**Col** · 22-07-2003, 03:29 PM

radio 1 couldnt give two fuks about what fergies playing, just as long as his name sits on their radio listings, there not going to get a well respected techno dj to play instead of fergie, radio 1 hardly know jack shit about real quality dance music, if they did they wouldnt employ a bunch of egotistical, money grabbing twats.

I didn`t like that at all, it`s well produced but it just didn`t do anything for me.

**davethedrummer** · 22-07-2003, 06:16 PM

oh well you can't please them all.
anyway back to the topic.
if not fergie then who???

**Jimfish** · 22-07-2003, 06:20 PM

i dont think they got him in to play techno...hasnt he just kind of merged over from hard dance stuff?
