You have to be kidding me.

[Serendipity]

one word:

disposable.

that's what so much techno has become. disposable, thrown together samples with a kickin' bassline. hot for the next week's release list, then doomed to the dustbin of boredom (but not history for the most part). i know we can't write classics every time, but at least a bit more effort would be nice. that's really what i would like to see. something that stands on its own as a tune, rather than wasting more petroleum-based vinyl (yup...i said it...the oil thirst supplies our vinyl life's blood as well) to press a record that's forgotten in a week.

the disposability of techno is what's killing it. that's my story, and i'm stickin' to it.

i have to disagree a little. we dont need classics EVERYTIME. sometimes (for playing out especially) filler tracks are better to mix with. they give you more scope to work with. (but i do agree that maximum effort should be put into every track, even the ones you know will never be the next "energy flash")

try telling that to your audience

Also: who on earth wants "filler tracks"? The whole point is that a DJ should be playing the very best possible records, and working out a suitable way to present them. "Filler tracks" are what come on free CD's - a DJ (or performer) should always strive to play the very best music available - not rely on MEDIOCRE ;) fodder to help them mix better.
You could potentially light some very explosive touchpaper by saying things like that (generally, not personally you rhythmtech), because there is always a rather hefty chunk of personal opinion involved in discussions like these - what you may consider to be a useful mixing record, some people may dismiss in the same kind of way as the record that this thread is all about has been.

The most pertinent point on this thread is the oil one though ( :clap: ) - and just think, there's far worse genres of music out there that are wasting our precious resources.
