Repressed Techno

[dirty_bass]

As a side point, although I do kinda agree about the state of the techno scene and releases these days, I have no real problem with vinyl. However, what I do see is peoples apathy due to the fact that every release sounds the same. That`s because there are loads of people with a few bucks who think they can do it, they then go ahead and copy the sound of producer X (on reason maybe), and then release a record.
The distributers put it out, cos it`s playing safe (and distributers rarely take a risk), and so we have an army of techno clones all putting out the same old crap.
The problem isn`t vinyl, it`s what is getting put onto it, the scene has almost turned into a kind of fanboy thing.
A bit like fanboy literature for films, where people release their own, self penned scripts of say "lord of the rings 4, opps they found another ring", thinking they can better tolken or whatever.
I mean, the scene shouldn`t be elitist, but also, due to the nature of the music, people in it should want to be doing something different rather than just playing safe and cloning their heroes or the latest trend.
Leave that shite for the pop charts.

never a truer word spoken.

also, im amazed how many people say they don't buy records anymore because they don't dj or whatever. surely if you're a a music fan, and an artist releases records you like, you'd still buy them.
that's what i do, i only dj for fun, but i still buy every record i like.

so getting back to your original question, yes, if something is repressed that i never got a chance to own before, then yes, i'll go and buy it

Man, I rarely even DJ for fun.
I just buy and play stuff I like.
