When a Techno track (or label) is commercial that is a bad thing?


when is something commercial? A lot of people are just pissed off cause they earn none and others earn some. I think most music which falls under techno is not commercial simply cause the people behind it don't make million dollar deals whith a n.e.r.d. remix on every 12inch. I personally will never play an intec record because it is not what i like but to call someone commercial who is earning slightly more then you are is bollocks i.m.o. If they're only aim in life was earnig as much cash as possible and all they ever did was only for the money they would choose something which would make them more probably.



If an underground track crosses over and becomes popular in many scenes, it's not considered cool or 'real' techno anymore?

purist have a strange look at the world it changes when too many people agree so if you mean "real" as in purist techno you are right

i couldn't care less but the only one i ever liked that did that was knights of the jaguar

There is no cheese in 'real' Techno records?

there's no cheese in techno i like

It is bad to release alot?

it's bad to release a lot of bad records/ or similar records (like some italians did)

It is not being true to yourself if you like to play and/or produce more than one genre?

i think you're not true to yourself if you only play/produce within a very narrow niche of types of records i cant imagine people being so one sided in there taste that they will only play records that sound the same

If you don't go out anymore you can still complain about the scene? (even if dont really know what currently goes on)

some people will complain about everything and when there is nothing to complain about they will complain about not being able to complain. but to answer you're question no

The Square root of 49 = 7?

yep
