getting back to the original post involving fergie, the guy is a fuking turd!
nothing more than a bandwagon boy, his ego is the most important thing to him, the real reason he plays techno is for credibility, for instance when hard house held underground status he was there, helping to bring a commercial aspect to the music, when hard house became too commercial, he jumped off the bandwagon and onto trance/hard trance, again he brought a commercial aspect to the music, and when it became too commercial for his liking he jumped off onto techno, the rest we will wait and see, although i dont think he can destroy techno, and make techno just another embarrasing word, like he has done with the previous genres of music. for me this guy has gone one step too far, his history shows that:

1. he has no passion for the music which he plays.

2. he will be playing another genre of music in the near future.

besides that the majority of techno that he does play is nothing more than cheesey tech turd.

and as for good for techno, why would techno want an overated bum, who has no intrest in taking the music forward. his only intrest his is ego the guy thinks that he is a superstar....ive seen more superstar in terry wogan!

did anyone use to read M8 (dance music mag...shit mag i know) i dont know if he still has "a month in music with fergie" pages but the majority of his month of music pages involved telling everybody what designer clothes he was wearing that month...sad pathetic bastard!!! he makes me sick, how dare anybody see this guy good for techno, the man wants a fukin gun putting to his head!

[davethedrummer]

wow you really don't like him do you?!!!?
personally i don't think putting a gun to his head is the right idea
but i know where your coming from
but i still think that the more people who listen to techno then the better it is for all of us
o.k. you may not think the type of techno he plays is of any worth
but for people who normally listen to cheese and only cheese it may be the gateway in they need.
as for the techno scene itself it doesn't do itself any favours but at least it's strong enough to withstand the invasion of commercialisation
at the end of the f*ck fergie. i couldn't care less who does it. just get some bloody techno on the airwaves so i can have something less offensive than normal raiod to listen to when i'm driving to a gig and i've forgotten my tapes

Hola..

I have been thinking about this whole argument quite a lot recently. I think the reason it pisses me off is coz when i was about 16 and going out to the larger Ravier places like helter skelter and what not. My mate got me into hard trance. I realy liked it back then, all of a sudden I started hearing this watered down shite thats all over the radio today. It completly put me off (also may have something to do with growing up, and seeing the light :roll: ). So thats the reason, then it came to me. Its not going to happen to techno, it never will do. The artists are too passionate about keeping that raw agressive sound that makes us all like techno. Others may incorporate into they're music but thats always happened and the fact is the real techno players will always be there. Perhaps it kicks off, and we have a whole new generation of gatecrasher techno heads. Where D.J sets where they build the it up to techno. I couldnt honestly I dont think those crouds will be able to digest a night of raw orbit Paul Damage stlye techno. But it will definatly open up peoples minds and ideas towards it and those people who get into techno this way are more likely to buy harder records than they did when there were clubbing to trance/house. Result, more records been sold. More bandwagon Dj's (thats a negative). More people into it, I now think I see some good positives from all this. Still, they should have some one whos a real techno player on radio one, its the way it should be done. Oh and I cant do with cyber kids too. There should be a law against that shit! Esp in techno.

mark did the month of music page in wax, which was a brilliant magazine dedicated to underground music, unfortunatley its no longer around. M8 is too commercial for my liking, although mark used too do reviews in there, in fact i dont know if he still does.

yeah ill second that

[Paul Nisbet]

to be fair too fergie, he used too be able to mix, and mix very well at that. But imo, when u r playin music u r not really into, ur mixin is just not as good!!! Imo he is into techno for the wrong reasons.

He is nothin short of an embaressment, i have seen him a few times recently and he has been panty hose.

Let's just all look at the Fergie thing in amusement, that's the way I feel anyway. I'd have more of a gripe with the labels that are making watered down techno that panders to the likes of Fergie et al

[Jimfish]

yeah, and it whatever you say, it IS better than having say, a load of crappy trance (the stuff with singing especially) as the only thing to listen to when you are hacking down the motorway...

i utterly disagree
m8 was a complete pile of shit which was only interested in showing raunchy club photo's and blithering on about house music or kiddie raves

i don't really like any of the dance music media but this was a real stinker of a magazine
apart from marks reviews of course
but the articles in it!!!!! please!!!!
and the photo's all young girls with their tits out e-ed out of their minds

:D :D :D :D :P

Once upon a time M8 used to be good, then it started turning itself into another mixmag, most of the underground coverage dissapeared and all the articles ended up been about swanky superclub places. To me thats the bigest mistake they made as it just became another mixmag (ie boring pic's of cyber kiddies, people dressed up with the occasional coverage on drugs chucked in to boost sales). I think in england we are missing a decent underground magazine aimed more at rave, techno, etc. Why did eternity, dream magazine dissapear?? Sure at the time there wasnt as much events, with the helter Skelter closing but I still thought the demand was there.

[Esox Lucius]

I used to buy m8 when it had loads of hardcore stuff in it, years ago, but when it went to trance and sh*t like that i stopped getting it.

all the so called dance mags are crap, IDJ & jockey slut aren`t too bad.

[MARKEG]

M8 went pish because edtior Mickey McNonagonagle was seducted by the superclub coke scene and wanted to shag them all up their asses. Thank god he's recently left the mag. Now we have a new editor and I have to say, it's turning around - slowly but surely. There's was more articles than ever that interested me last month and this month it's even better.

Good ridance Mickey! Welcome Kevin!

[Jimfish]

maybe its just been in a cocoon so that now it can become a butterfly!

[Jimfish]

sorry, that was a bit of a gay comment really..

[DJ Corbzy]

yeah jim, rather gay... :D
