I've had enough.
Being from Latin Descent I find it borderline offensive.

That's like saying "being English, I strongly object to Four Tet's use of Morris Dancing music"...

Remeber when Hardcore Salsa was huge last year? I couldn't escape that song.. and thought the same.. Should Europeans be using latin beats? But at the same time most my friends are latinos playing euro beats.. lol.

hardcore salsa was awful....imo.

so wrong.

**Tremor** · 27-10-2005, 12:50 PM

I agree.. and there's like a jillion versions.. Seems like I heard it on every other mix last year..

a bit cheesy and naff admittedly, but theres been worse atrocities against techno.

**dirty_bass** · 27-10-2005, 02:20 PM

I don`t get it.
Latin - essentially, funky, shuffley, loose, hip swinging music, that`s all in between the beat.

Schranze - Straight, military, rigid, marching, fist pounding, on the beat tunage.

The two go together like Burt Bacharach and atari teenage riot.

**fresh_an_funky_design** · 27-10-2005, 03:10 PM

yeah but that's what makes it so good! come on get with the program!

seriously though some one needs to incinerate all these shranz records

**TripleX** · 27-10-2005, 04:47 PM

what a load of crap :dontevengothere:

**MITA** · 27-10-2005, 05:46 PM

as someone above wrote,those two just dont go together...in my head,and hart.

My Point exactly.

**detfella** · 27-10-2005, 07:33 PM

well i havent got a problem with genres colliding, to me thats just another way to explore new sounds and make new discoveries. if the electrifying mojo hadn't mixed electronic sounds with funk maybe we'd never have seen electro & techno in the first place?

its almost like polyrhythms, fitting one time signature and working it against another. regarding the track, to me its not too dissimilar to beyers remix of manipulations which was a classic in its time (probably got a lot of slatting as well!!) i dont mind it, i'd dance to it, but i would never buy it!

**dirty_bass** · 27-10-2005, 07:44 PM

juxtaposition is fine, I`m all for experimentation
However some things just don`t work.

Latin takes the rigidity and force away from schranze.
And schranze rips out all of the funk and swing from latin.
They don`t complement each other.
Nor do they grate together in an interesting dissonant way.
And you know it you monkey:)

**SlavikSvensk** · 27-10-2005, 07:53 PM

what was it derrick may said about kraftwerk? i think it was that they were so unfunky, they were funky.

i'm not saying that about schranz, of course, as i personally find it as rigid as you do...but it does show that the concept of "funk" is pretty damned subjective...

**dirty_bass** · 28-10-2005, 12:02 AM

Well, I don`t exactly wanna bash schranz here.
I mean, when it is done properly, it`s pounding, angry, screaming aggressive and driving.
But bad unimaginative schranz is what I moan about, hard for hards sake.
And when I said unfunky, I just mean rigid, to me, funk is something that makes you shake your ass, and dance from the hip, rather than from the upper body.
